If you could do one thing different in life, what would it be?

Pretty simple question with some pretty severe implications.
If I could go back in time, I would do a lot of things different but it's really hard to pinpoint just one.
Is there anything that stands out in your mind that you would change in hindsight?

I'd get rich by learning some lotto numbers before I went or something.
Edit:Honestly I would have made myself not smoke weed until like 18. If I could do only one thing.

Solid answer.
I wouldn't have done as much or as many drugs in my teen years as I would have likely gone to college and bettered myself much more than I actually have. I'm pretty certain my drug use is what spiraled me onto a shitty path of self-destruction.

I'm starting to reform tho, I spend a lot more time trying to cultivate and maintain friendships then I did before and honestly it's paying off.

I didn't start smoking till like 18 and honestly It wouldn't have made much of a difference, I had always been a fAilure in my academics and even socially since as long as I could remember. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if weed would have motivated me to do better in school had I started smoking it much earlier in life.

Well for me it was all I cared about for some reason and it made me do horrible at school. This isn't the case now as I'm better now.
And it fucked with my dopamine system(I literally smoked like 10 times a day from age 12) which made me super depressed and generally confused about whether I wanted to live. But that's because I used it so much that that's what I relied on to make me happy. So when I didnt have it I wasn't happy after some heavy use. And I was very hormonal anyways so it didn't take much to make me freak out.
Using weed daily for anyone under 18 is a bad idea IMO
Edit:Same with psychedelics tabaco and alcohol

idk, i'd say it depends on the individual, marijuana is a medicine after all, and medicine can be for all ages i suppose.
i was a pretty happy person in my teens overall, it was basically just the school system that fucked me up and made me think that something was wrong with me, but the truth was i just didn't want to learn what they were trying to teach me, or rather i didn't want to be forced to learn it. i would have preferred to learn the material at my own terms, at the time that i wanted, not at fucken 8:am to 3:00pm every day for the rest of my fucking life.. or until the age of 18..
schools really need to get their shit together.

Yeah that's true it can be for everyone. But I still think people under around 18(maybe 16) probably shouldn't ingest it by smoking. If they need the medical benifits it can be eaten and is actually more effective(medical benifits wise) than smoking. Orso I've heard.
When your hormonal and depressed anyways adding the extra ups and downs (high and sober) to my emotional roller coaster as a teen REALLY fucked with me.
