Welcome to the Nexus!

Im glad you were able to kick the bad habbits and find a healthier more balanced life! Also that you're looking for a good relationship with psychedelics. Did you check the Health and Safety section, specifically the parts on negative experiences and integration ?

Regarding extracting and potential legal problems, I can totally understand you, if you now have a family.  May I ask why your friend got caught in the first place?

Be well!
