The logs of a Radio Co-Host

A lot of people seem to be confused with who I am and what I do so i'll give you the rundown.

In short I am Kiba Kush owner of Kiba's Kush Dispensary. In long term it's a bit more complicated than that. I guess I should start with my childhood.

I was born the 21st of November in 1996 under the name Punchin Numbers, I was completely different back then, hell my mane and tail weren't even green. I was raised by my mom Number Chart who was a pegasus and my dad Roman Numeral who was a unicorn. I had a sister as well, Digit was her name. She was 6 years older than me, a pegasus and of course was the family fave.

I spent the first few years of my life in Manehattan, my dad owned the calculator company "Num's Classic Calcs" and my mom was the boss of a perfume company named "Lé Poné". We lived in a massive apartment in the higher part of Manehattan with a balcony looking over the city.

My dad had plans for me even when I was young. He wanted me to become an accountant under the sole idea of not paying one at the time, thus he sent me to different schools to learn how to become one. Both my parents wanted me to be a success by any means necessary. I couldn't mingle with others because I was too busy studying and working. It was a nightmare!

The only thing that brought me solace in my home was a group of potted plants on the balcony. I took care of them whenever I had free time. They were bright red amaryllises and speckled daisies, rather rare in Manehattan but my family was rich so they had there ways of getting things. I guess they were what started my change.

I think what made things worse for me was how they treated me over my sister. They held her in such high regard it's not even funny, like we're talkin they would flaunt her around and show her off as the next big thing in the world. She was a model mom would use to show off her products and she was in a few fashion mags. While I was more often than not face first in a book or writing the number tables over and over again. Granted it was the attention she got that bothered me not the mare herself. My sister and I actually got along rather well. We treated each other well and since we grew up together she was the only one I could truly relate to.

I was seven when my training was complete, I was an accountant and I was helping my mom and dad with their finances. It only took me four months of the same old shit to realize I needed to get out of there. I still remember the day I planned my getaway, my mom was invited to a gathering to show off her new perfume products in the Lé Poné line. I couldn't see another time better than that to get away considering my mom was a massive social butterfly and there was a high chance of her not paying attention to my sister and I. I knew how I was gonna do it, I was gonna wait until we got there then let my mom get distracted. Then while she was distracted I was gonna make a break for it right to the train station, buy a train ticket and get the hell out of Manehattan before my family could notice.

I didn't care if things went south, anything was better than the life I was given.

The day of the gathering was upon us, my mom was aching to go. She gathered the prototype products and rushed us along and forced us into a limo-esq buggy. We drove up to the event and as I suspected, the place was full of people. Just enough for me to run into the crowd and get away. We got out of the buggy and started making our way to the main building. My mom noticed a group of her colleagues and began to socialize. I knew if I didn't break now I would never get another chance. I checked to see if my mom was paying attention to me which of course she wasn't. I got ready to sprint when something yanked on my back left leg. I turned to notice my sister looking at me.

"Where are you going little brother?"

"Away from here Digit, away from this life!"

"B-but bro-"

"Look Digit if I don't do this i'll never have another chance of freedom, I don't want to be an accountant for the rest of my life! I want to make something of myself, something I'm happy with!"

"It hurts to think of a life without you. But I know how things are with you and our parents so i'm not gonna stop you, just please don't forget about us...."

"I won't Digit, if they ask you where I went you can tell them all you want but they'll never catch me. Good bye sis i'll miss you!"

Once she dropped her magic on my leg I bolted into the crowd. I never looked back, didn't want to either because if I did I would see my sister looking at me with tears in her eyes. I ran from street to street occasionally taking a moment to catch my breath before running again. I wouldn't stop until I reached the train station, hopefully whoever was behind the counter was dumb enough to sell a train ticket to a child.

Nothing much happened after that really, I bought the ticket and got on a train to the farthest place I could go. The place in particular was Canterlot. Too pristine for my tastes but anywhere was better than Manehattan. I enrolled in Princess Molestia's School of gifted unicorns to keep myself from being homeless so I guess I did have a small history with the princess.

While there I had my first true experience with plants. I learned how to tend to them and grow them properly. Hell it even got me my cutie mark! However believe it or not I didn't try kush until I was much older.

I tried it when I was twelve, I met with a group of ponies and one of them had the stuff with him. He lit it up and let me take a few puffs and my god it was awful.......at first. The taste became more and more desireable after a few times smoking the stuff. I began studying the stuff. How it's grown, ways to help it grow and how to harvest it. I was not gonna get in trouble because the shit was legal in Canterlot.

Then came the day of the change, when I decided to go full force. I was walking through the main school hallway when I stumbled upon a conversation held by Princess Luna and a stallion in a suit.

"If you hear of a young Punchin Numbers give us a call your highness."

"I will loyal subject, thank you"

As I began to walk away I heard the princess.

"You ran away didn't you?"

I took a moment to realize she was talking about me.

"I know you're there, it is most impolite to ignore a princess. So i'll ask again, you ran away didn't you?"

" Yes.....yes I did, but please princess don't let them know i'm here!/color]"

"You realise that I have to tell them right?"

"Princess please i'll do anything if you don't tell them i'm here! I don't want to be a number cruncher for the rest of my life!"

"Anything?"

"Yes anything!"

"Change some aspects about yourself. Like change your mane and tail color or change your coat color. They won't be able to recognize you if you don't look like how you use to look."

"Princess?"

"Also might want to change your name that also helps. Now it is past curfew so i'll escort you to your bed chambers."

After a few minutes of walking with the princess we stood outside my dorm room.

"Now before you go young Punchin Numbers, I want you to promise me one thing."

"Yes your highness?"

"The conversation we had never happened, agreed?"

"Agreed your highness."

"Good now get to bed young one, have a good night."

I took what she said to heart, next day was the beginning of my new life, the life I was gonna build for myself. I went to the local courthouse to get my name legally changed. I thought long and hard for this and in the end I picked a name I knew I would love.

Kiba Kush

I then went to a mane stylist and got my mane and tail permanently dyed green and had it trimmed thus I was ready to begin my new life!

Funny now I look back on my life and how it went thus far. I went from a weak unicorn being forced into work as an accountant to becoming  the pony who not only owns one of the most successful dispensaries in Equestria but became a member of one of the best radio shows in the world!

I think I can say I made a good life for myself.
