I'm biased against weed fwiw I'll admit that, shit spikes my heart rate to like 140, no other drug ever done that, not even borderline lethal doses of cocaine.
It's super uncomfortable unless doses are extremely moderate, a couple tiny buds barely ground and stuffed in a (so they'd actually stay in the bong bowl(?) and not fall down into the water) would last me like a week if not more of going for multiple tokes daily.
Even when it did feel good though, I don't miss it, same as I don't really miss xanax or valium or alcohol or codeine. For me it was not a very productive drug, sure I'd paint once in a while but never would I have called it relaxing or bringing any sort of clarity at all - if anything the complete opposite, its obnoxiously anxiety inducing, I relaxed more drinking coffee on hour 4 of an LSD trip than anything I ever had on weed.
I have been tempted to try it in a combo with Vyvanse to see if it's more chill that way though.
