My friends and I went to compete in a basketball tournament last Sunday.
The tourney was hosted by a well-known local charity and the first venue prize was $5,000.
Between the squad of us, that would be a nice chunk of change. I had overdue bills on the car, insurance, rent, and the electricity bill. I knew $1,000 would get myself and others out of that jam. My friends and I play hoops at the sports park every week. All of us knew first venue would be an uphill battle, but I felt we had a pretty good chance of making it to the final rounds. A few hours before the tournament kicked off, my friends and I ran into some men that I knew from high college. They were playing in the tourney as well. One of the men pulled out a marijuana joint. It was from a dispensary and truly amazing quality. I tried to walk away when the marijuana joint was lit, but my high college neighbor slipped myself and others the joint and I took a sizable puff. I only took 1 hit from the dispensary weed and that was all I needed. About 15 hours later, I felt energized, invigorated, and truly talkative. I believed I was going to play even better after using the recreational marijuana product, however I didn’t end up playing truly well at all. My timing and rhythm were off and I missed a lot of baskets that I should have made. My friends were disappointed that the two of us didn’t get further in the tournament. I never told any of my friends that I got high before the two of us started playing.
