PS - Deneb - Youth is a time of trying different things, etc.
I agree with the comments cautioning you.
My son has ROYALLY screwed up his life due to alcohol & drugs. He has damaged his brain.
He is VERY fortunate in that he is pulling out of it - pulling forward out of the dense, clinging, tar-thick mud of substance abuse. And he is still not out of it yet, but at least he's heading in the right direction.
There are lots of other things to explore other than intoxicants. I'm glad you're having what seems like a more healthful attitude towards it.
Even smoking herbs........I'm not sure why you want to do it? I guess as long as it doesn't pull you towards smoking other stuff that is NOT a game or something to play with lightly. Ya know - my son ALWAYS said (years ago now) that he would NEVER do chems (chemical drugs) He said he would only EVER smoke weed.
I hope you remain vigilant as to your motives, attitudes, etc. I'm really glad you have a supportive & caring pdoc to help you sort stuff out.
much love, Kath
PS - I admire your honesty & openness.
