Prospects or prison: A young person’s brush with the law

It was in 1999-2000 when hip-hop got more and more popular in Poland. While listening to Polish rap music, I wondered what rappers meant by ‘smoking weed’ or ‘rolling a spliff’. When I was 13, I had my first opportunity to understand. Older school mates asked me If I wanted to “smoke some weed” before classes. Since it was a public holiday, we did not have regular lessons, except for a principal’s speech and a trip to a museum. I decided to abscond, and tried weed for the first time.
