I've used local bitcoin once and realized that it's a waste of money. First you have to pay their markups and there may be fees to sending them money depending on your payment method. Next you have to pay the miner fee when transferring the bitcoin to your seller. Just not worth it.
Just go with exchanges and then transfer the bitcoin to a private wallet, never pay directly from the exchange wallet. Yes it's all eventually traceable, but they don't care enough about you to do that. You should worry more about actual possession of the substances.
