Bandia's eyes were red, comprehensive, and lazy, indicating that he had taken some puffs of  weed . They greeted each other with a moderate meeting of fists, and then Chwa sat beside his brother. After staring at the empty vicinity momentarily, Chwa began, "Bandia, it's time I started taking  weed . I used to think I could pass this tough life with a sober mind, but now I feel it has stretched me to my limits. I feel downtrodden. I need something that can energize me.

He desperately wanted to speak to the hiring manager. He wondered...
