Reg goes to Saint Mary's

After I finished high school, I went to University – St. Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  I didn’t know what I wanted to do but both of my brothers had been to university so my parents insisted that I go too.  So off I went.  I didn’t care about school but I wanted to live in Halifax – the big city compared to where I was from.

I started selling drugs to the other students when I got there.  I was taking trips to Montreal to buy hash by the kilo and coke by the ounce.  At St Mary’s, I sold it by the gram and I made a lot of money – easy money.  It was hard to be interested in school when I was making so much money selling drugs.  Halifax was just one long party.   I was going downtown to the bars almost every night, doing cocaine all the time.  I could never get out of bed for my classes.  I made it through my first year but then I pretty much gave up on school altogether.
