That's nothing, I cut out a bible with a razor blade, I used to use it to store meds in.
I rolled a spliff with a page from it. Worked OK too.
As for cutting bits out to store drugs in: I used War and Peace for that purpose. It seemed suitable.
Some of us are much much older. Can you say crusty. And we still do not have a clue!
Seriously, life is a journey. There is so much to experience. Don't expect your first choice to be it. You can always change.
Bottom line, is that you never know were life will take you. But hop on and enjoy the ride!
