Cloud I am. I do not like slimy cados.

"I would not, could not,
in the rain.
Not in the dark. Not on a train.
Not in a car. Not in a tree.
I do not like them, Sam, you see.
Not in a house. Not in a box.
Not with a mouse. Not with a fox.
I will not eat them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere!"

Totally off thread, but this is the most important piece of "drug education" and is never taught in schools.

Do not drink the bhong water.

Virtually no psycho-active THC. Huge amounts of toxic crap. Very likely full of germs. Tastes #$%&ing terrible.

Well, the first three I learned by reading. The fourth point ... well ... I only got to be old* and wise ** by being young and stupid first.

* Not really.
** As if.

I see. Didn't the smell of it put you off? There's nothing in the world that would convince me to have a swig although I once knew a bloke who would empty out the water then dry the dregs in the bottom of the bong and resmoke it. He used to call it 'nummas'. I don't know how it's spelled, but that's how it sounded. Disgusting is what I thought.

If I recall correctly (it's been a long time) the smell was off-putting, but in the interests of science we pressed ahead. (Note: we. Something odd happens when teenage males gather, they loose 10% of their IQ for every additional one present.)
The taste ... now that did put us off.
For once we learned quickly. The experiment was not repeated. On reflection that might be considered bad science. We have to get a large sample set. Damn, that means I've got 99 more glasses of bhong water to drink.

They look funny. I won't eat them.

Actually, looking funny often leads me to want to try something, like star fruit, cherimoya, pomegranates, and raw sugar cane.

But not avacados. They're the wrong kind of funny.

Like they're funny, but not humorous.

Well, I have to say Zen, you don't come off as the sort of bloke that was a typical young bloke. Maybe it's because I can't see you still doing dopey stuff from where I'm sitting?

Speaking as a husband of twenty years' standing, ain't that what husbands are for? It just says he doesn't give a damn about the weathering of the years -- it's still you.
