From my experience with meditation and weed I'd claim that sitting, "zoning out" and doing nothing requires significant effort.

Weed works in opposition to that. It more likely makes the mind wander more, not less. That's not always a negative thing, but I think it's almost the opposite of meditation.

I definitely think it's the opposite of meditation. Imo meditative states come from deliberate effort and shouldn't be encumbered by much else but your mind as it is.
