            Unintentional fatal drug incidents nearly doubled from 1999 to 2004 and were the second leading cause of accidental death in United States in 2004, behind only auto crashes, according to the center of disease control.
             Tommy was hanging out with this buddy that liked to socialize, Tommy was down with that as well. They went to a gathering that was in a high rise building on the fifteenth floor. They entered the apartment that was decorated by someone with money. Everything was modern and very clean. They walked down a short hallway that opened up into an airy living room where five people were hanging out. Quick introductions, they seated and the socializing began. Chatter and laughter filled the room as a couple of joints were lit and passed around. when the first joint got to Tommy, he hit it and thought that it didn't taste like pot. He said something to his buddy as he passed it to him. His buddy hit it and said that it was green. Tommy took it as though it meant that the pot was home grown. Tommy continued to hit and pass the joints that tasted funny. Everything from that point was a blur. At one point Tommy was out on the balcony with another person and they were talking how nice the pool looked fifteen floors down. Tommy stated that he could hit the pool from up there.The other person said "no way". Tommy was going to prove he could and got naked. Just as Tommy was about to climb over the rail, the owner of that apartment came out on the balcony and asked what was up. The two explained the bet, the owner said "what pool" the two pointed down. The owner laughed and said "that not a pool that's a parking lot." The next day after Tommy awoke, He had many gaps in his memory, he did however remember the balcony event. He ran to the bathroom to violently puke after the realization that he almost met his demise the night before. He never did find out what was in those joints, but he was sure it was not pot. Tommy knew that luck had been with him and at that point in his life learned to question things instead of assuming.
            I had always wondered why people all fucked up on drugs choose to commit suicide, After this event I thought that maybe it wasn't suicide, it was just a misread visual that turned into a bad bet.
