Scared to smoke weed

I wasnt scared when i tried it but i was already satisfied with just drinking. After trying it i still prefer drinking. Weed wasnt all that great if you ask me. I passed out almost instantly and i couldn't hang for the rest of the night cuz it hit me hard. I was a newbie so thats probably why. I figure beer already puts me in a good mood so why struggle to find my equilibrium with weed?
