If you’re of age and it’s legal where you live, most people probably just go to the store and get high at home. But how does a socially awkward yet careful teen without those kind of friends get into it, if such people do? You have to know who to buy it from, and once you get it, how do you smoke it? If you live with your parents and are never home alone for more than several hours, you might not have enough time for a good high. And what about tripping in nature or at someone else’s house? You can’t just teleport there, you have to walk or drive, the latter of which is very dangerous, I would imagine as bad as driving drunk, just in a different way. So is a good dose of the devil’s lettuce basically unattainable for the victims of upper middle class suburbanite comfort?

    I would wait until your circumstances change to be honest. At least until your +18 due to (if I recall) the younger you are, the more likely negative health outcomes are.

    Also my first couple of times it was pretty full on and while panic and negative thought spirals are rare uncommon, it’d be a shame to wreck your first few times because you’re worried about someone coming home early/environment. Also, absolutely do not drive while intoxicated, regardless of the substance.

    To answer your question, you make friends who are in the scene and know how to source some. Buying from strangers is a great way to buy cooking herbs from dickheads. If it’s an option, legal or medical is the far superior route even if it can be tedious.

      This, very much. You are an adult for a long, long time - there’s no need to do everything while you are still a kid.

      Also this about being friends with at least one person who already knows what they’re doing.

      If you’re planning to go to uni, just wait until then, you’ll have your own room, meet new people, and be more physically capable to handle it.

      Panic/ thought spirals are not that rare, in my experience. If this person is already this nervous about it, it makes spiraling that much more likely.
