That... sounds too good to be true?

Beyond the concerns that have already been raised this is also a substance that is pretty untested at these dosages for ingestion. Side effects are unknown. But who knows, maybe it’s like vaping: we know that it’s probably bad for you to some extent, but most people are on a consensus that it’s probably not worse than cigarette smoking
But way more accessible and cool for under 30s
I feel like cost, availability, taste, and strength are kind of important actually.
If the taste is shit, I struggle to understand how this can sound good to you? You don’t care about the taste of your current alcoholic beverages?

For beer I switched to alcohol free because the taste is good (although less various). Wine, I still have not, because alcohol free wine tastes really bad.

I got used to the taste after a couple of drinks. The few flavors available mask the taste.

For me it was similar to alcohol or coffee. Did not like it the first few times but gradually got used to it. Now I take a sip and it's refreshing.
