Drug ICE: A Short Story

1169 Words5 Pages

It all started when I was at a party with my best mate jack. Now I am living in a 60 dollar a week room with jack and getting high every day and night at home and wasting 300 dollars a day. My name is Dylan and I am going to tell you about my life over the last few years whilst being on the drug ICE.
When I was 15 Jack and I were best mates! We did everything together! We were top class students, we had a great group of mates and we had a loving and caring family to go to each night. One Friday night Jack and I had a sleepover at my house and we were going to have a star wars movie marathon! At least that’s what my parents thought. We were actually going to sneak out to a party because some older year 11 students told us to. So at 9:30 that …show more content…

In the last 13 years we have been in and out of jail 8 times each because of what we have done whilst on ICE. We have been fined more time than I can count! It has wreck me over the years because every time the police see me they interrogate me and hassle me because of the drug ICE. We have to go to court about 6 times a year to try and justify us and our drug offences because of the drug laws in Australia. We are definitely finding it hard with this but we have brought it on ourselves because the events that have happened in the past and we have brought a lot of trauma and suffering for others and that is why we do time in jail to punish us but when we are on ICE we cannot control that.
When I was about 18 I started to realise a change in my looks. I realised I was starting to get red marks on my body and scratch scars as well because of what has happened whilst I was high on this horrid drug. I was picking at my skin when I was high because I thought that there was bugs underneath my skin. This is effecting me now because now I have no hair because I have pulled it all out over time, I have scars all over my face and now I also have very bad teeth and a permanent
