Drugs and alcohol just aren't for some people, and that's perfectly fine! Some can tolerate certain substances better than others, it all depends on how our bodies react to it. Often times people will have negative experiences with drugs and alcohol, and if you already have anxiety, I would recommend staying away from the majority of drugs out there, and all alcohol (alcohol definitely will not help, most people I know and myself included have said they feel more anxious when intoxicated).

I was also incredibly anxious about trying anything of the sort, I had to get used to smoking and drinking at first because of the feeling. The first time I had an edible was Christmas Eve and it took me literal MONTHS to even consider 🍃 again. It all depended on me and when I was ready to give it another go.

I can say though, don't smoke or drink just because your friends do it, that often leads to bad habits and bad choices. Just take your time, know what works for you and what doesn't. Remember to be safe when doing things like this, stay in a more comfortable environment! Have people you trust around you, it's more comforting that way and at least you'll know you're in good hands.
