I've smoked exactly one joint in my life. I don't think I got high at all and didn't enjoy the experience. But I'm curious to know what folks find enjoyable about it. Does it just chill you out? Does it make you feel like you don't have a care in the world? I don't think I'd ever try smoking one again but idk I'd maybe try edibles in a vegan brownie or something.
How you describe here really appeals to me. I don't even drink much because I can't stand hangovers.
I personally have switched almost entirely from drinking to weed, and it's awesome to not have to commit to being in an altered state until I pass out and not getting hangovers.
Cannabis and psilocybin, the latter as microdoses if you want positive benefits (energy/creativity/anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects) without visuals, are both safe enough that my only concern is with the cleanliness of the supply. If you get a flower vaporiser it doesn't reach combustion temperature so you get more complex taste, comparable to a saison or sour, without any smoke to impact your lungs.
