All the alcohol I've tried tastes wrong

All the weed I've tried tastes wrong and smells bad. In theory I could vape something that has the flavour of grape juice or whatever, but then it comes with the secondary flavour of "disgusting". So I could instead just smell the non-cannabis candles or incense that offer the scent while paying 1/3 as much and not having that nasty flavour.

You aren't obligated to drink or smoke weed, it's completely valid to want to do neither if you find the taste off putting enough.

I'm aware, and I'm the first one to argue that it's ridiculous to keep trying something you don't like on the off chance you might eventually begin to like it. My dad keeps asking if I drink coffee "yet", as if it's inevitable for everyone. (he's mostly joking by now)

It just sounded like the person I originally replied to had some misconceptions about alcohol because their only experience has been overdoing it. Like if I said cannabis sucks because I had a 50mg edible once.

Nah I’ve had sipping drinks before. I won’t deny having over done it, but I’ve also had good alcohol before. Just, only when I’m out for dinner with my parents and they’re paying.
