weed in legal canada plus lifestyle play, the texture changes a lot

so weed has been legal here in ontario for ages obviously and over the years weve drifted from a few beers before a play night to maybe a small joint or a low dose edible instead. the texture of the night is honestly completely different... slower, more sensory, less of that giddy chatty buzz you get from prosecco and more of a sort of dreamy attentive thing. but ive started to notice it can also make me a bit in my head, second guessing reading the room, and my partner says she gets sleepy way faster than she used to on wine. for the other canadians or anyone in legal places, how have you found the swap? do you regulate dose differently for play vs just hanging out...
