My First Experience with Drugs

Hi. First post to r/drugs but I'm planning on sharing some of my experiences more frequently than just lurking. This is about my first time getting in serious trouble (with my family not the law thank fuck) with drugs.

My interest in drugs began around 5-6th grade. I remember spending night after night researching (on my DSI lol) weed and what it does to you as well as LSD and the change in your perception of the world both during and after tripping. Fast forward some years and I'm a sophomore in highschool and had smoked weed a few times at this point. I met another kid at my school (lets call him Chester) who shared my interest in drugs. We spent time together researching drugs and talking about what we want to try and do eventually. We talked about psychedelics and about drugs in general. Eventually we decide we want to do DMT. So we order everything we need to make it online and take some chem stuff from the school. We had all the procedures and everything ready to extract the DMT from the root bark. On 4/20 my mom decides to conduct a random search all of my stuff (hooray for respecting privacy /s). To make a long story short, she found some of my notes which lead her to dig deeper. I came home that day to find my mom in tears and my dad screaming at me louder than he ever had before. Looking back, I would have been mad had I found my 10th grade son making DMT but Chester and I were in a world of trouble.

After a few nights of Me, Chester, my parents, and Chester's parents having long discussions around a dinner table regarding what steps they should take from there, I was grounded without access to a phone, internet, and TV for about 9 months. I almost got sent to rehab before my heavy drug use even started.

All in all, 2/10: wouldn't get caught for making DMT again.

I'm excited to share some of my more interesting drug-related experiences on this subreddit.

tl;dr: got caught making dmt sophomore year of HS by my fam. got in lots of trouble.
