My Journey Through Life With Cannabis: How Did I Get Here? The 80s: Disco, Big Hair & A Baby

Written By Kim Cooper

I moved to West Virginia in 1981 when I was 18. By then I was consuming cannabis daily, all day long. I was a bong girl, never really cared too much for joints, which always made me cough. Still very rebellious and struggling with issues of abandonment, I never gave much thought from one moment to the next about what I was doing or if it was safe. I was partying, carefree as far as the world knew, but not so much on the inside.
