Ang kuwento ng dalawang kabataang nalulong sa "momay" o marijuanang hinimay ang hatid ngayong Lunes ni Jay Taruc sa I-Witness. Sa panahon na usong-uso ang mga drogang kemikal gaya ng shabu, ecstasy, cocaine at heroin, marijuana pa rin daw ang kadalasang inaabuso ng mga kabataan. Sikat daw ang momay sa mga teenager dahil mura at madaling mabili. Sampung piso lang kada maliit na plastic ang halaga ng momay. Sina Mike at Ronnie, na parehong kinse anyos, ay mga tulak at adik sa momay. Pareho rin silang high school dropout. Sa murang edad na ito, dalawa na ang anak ni Mike, na pawang itinatago mula sa kanya. Si Ronnie naman, miyembro na ng akyat bahay gang sa kanilang lugar. Ang mga binebentahan nila ng momay, mga teenager mula sa kanila ring komunidad. Kapag sabog na silang lahat, rap naman ang trip ng grupo.
