If you could go back in time...

Hello, new to this forum (as you can see!), but I have been browsing it for a couple of years
My question is: If you could go back in time and speak with your younger self, before you had tried drugs (illegal or otherwise), what advice would you give yourself?
For example Would you:
...advise against trying anything?
…advise yourself not to try certain substances?
…say you should have tried more while you had the chance?
…say you should wait until you are older before ‘starting’
…or say nothing at all, you are please with your decisions so far!
For myself, I would say:
Don’t bother spending SO much money on drink while going out at UNI (but maybe that’s just the students right of passage). The nights involving large memory loss are mostly pointless!
Refrain purchasing coke(although Ive only bought maybe a total of £200). It generally turns out to be a waste of money and just makes me edgy.
Limit mdma usage to once every 2 months max(it was once a month for the 1st year). Moderation is the key!
At this moment in time I would not tell myself to never have tried anything. If I have any long term side effects, this opinion may change.
Sen.

I didn't really enjoy shrooms...
don't get me wrong i'm not advocating you should try every drug someone offers you, i was always fairly sensible which is probably why i don't have any regrets
other than that its all gravy
Also to have never tried coke, i was lucky but some of my friends now have an exspensive weekend habbit:no:
if you could go back in time, with the knowledge you have now, what would you do as your first drop? what pill? with whom? what kinda music? what would you have wanted to be your first time on pills
definitely
That's it really, apart from that I wouldn't change anything.
Like excepting beanies off randomers and going back to strangers houses to snort large ammounts of cocaine .. I think I would just tell myself to be more careful about the company I was keeping.
Tried coke a few times lately and it did nothing for me except send me a paranoid for a while and gave me a stiffy for the rest of the weekend. Nice to have tried it though and I don't feel the need to go back to it so no regrets.
Both of which will get you high, but dangerously.
Exactly, both are linked to liver and kidney damage if I remember rightly.
Even if it worked you probably picked the most expensive item on earth by weight to consume.
(1) Don't go near acid, ever.
(2) Don't go into double figures when taking ecstacy tablets and don't get into a weekly habit as I did a couple of years ago.
(3) Don't drink on ketamine.
(4) Don't waste a year at uni smoking dope and rarely going out.
(5) Don't buy coke from people you don't know - it will more than likely be shit.
(6) Valium is a god-send for comedowns.
