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.
