He initially agreed to take ecstasy, changed his mind, and even offered to pay for it without using it. But when the drug was left within reach and everyone around him took theirs, the internal debate intensified.
Eventually, his mind produced a strange solution: if he took it, the argument would be over because it would already be too late. Later that night, while already high, he rejected marijuana by confidently saying, “No thanks, I don’t smoke weed.” That boundary disappeared almost immediately, and marijuana became another part of his substance use.
