What was said
"Around 15, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. They gave him like 6 months to live. And so I didn't know how to process that as a 15-year-old. I just did more drugs. The crystal meth just made me feel so good. Being up for days and days with just endless energy and just, it made everything in life fun."
Andy Glaze described his descent into severe crystal meth addiction at age 15, attributing it to his inability to process his father's terminal cancer diagnosis. He had unlimited access to meth through a friend whose father sold to biker gangs in Southern California, leading to severe addiction including smoking meth out of light bulbs and doing a line as long as his arm for his 16th birthday. He eventually ran away from home and was found emaciated and strung out by off-duty cops his father hired.
