This story is based on real events, the name of the protagonist was changed to hide his identity.

In 2008, at Bronx County, New York, Curtis lived, a 17-year-old boy, a good student from an African-American and North American family. At 6:00 p.m. On Friday he was at home dressing up to go to a private party in his friend’s house (Frank) where Frank's parents were not there, like any teenager who did not go to parties, Curtis did not imagine that from that day his life would enter in a spiral of complicated situations.

At 8:00 p.m. Curtis had arrived at the party and after a couple of hours for him it was done to next day, he woke up and was lying on the carpet in the living room of that house with feelings of lethargy, thirst and an abundant hunger, in his cell phone had 15 missed calls from his parents, and he noticed that nothing was going well, but, what happened?

He began to remember, and that's when the image of Frank comes to his mind, Frank introduced him to a strange looking boy who he had never seen before, this new kid for Curtis offered him some pieces of chocolate brownie that he had baked, as it looked good, without thinking Curtis took the pieces and ate immediately, the last thing in his short-term memory was a sensation of dryness in the mouth, relaxation and less prejudiced behavior. After that he knew that the brownies had marijuana, Curtis went home, he received his scolding and years later, he was with work and family difficulties and realized that had fallen into the addiction because he wanted to feel like at that party and increasingly consumed more to try to make better that feeling he did not understand that day, but he certainly liked it. Currently Curtis is subject to medical marijuana at controlled doses to reduce the withdrawal syndrome and regulate the psychopathological sequelae until he no longer needs that product that changed an important part of his life.
