Tobacco is a sacred plant in some contexts, like in Native American ceremonies, where it's not used for its stimulant effects.

Cannabis too can be used sacramentally, spiritually, recreationally, or medicinally. It can be an appetite stimulant or a sex enhancer. Some can get insight through it, while others prefer to get so stoned they can't think.

It's helped me to reconnect with my feelings and motivated me to seek therapy. It can be a wise teacher if you listen.

Or you can watch cartoons on it and eat snacks..

The many uses of it are not mutually exclusive, but how you use it and what you get out of it is your choice.

What’s the effect in the aggregate on the average person? It seems to me that many (most?) don’t have the willpower to really make smart choices with it, and default to watching cartoons and eating snacks.

We’re watching this happen to a friend of my BIL now and it’s hard to watch. To be fair the kid’s problems started with his parents exercising “choice” to pursue serial marriages instead of raising their kid, but smoking pot (with a blow torch apparently?) isn’t helping.
