Weed now only makes me tired and lethargic

I'm 27, I started to smoke regularly when I was 15. Back then I considered it a very social activity and I remember feeling a buzz of energy which I used for walking around and socialising.

At 20 I was smoking at home with a group of friends who used much more weed than I did. My use had significantly increased during the Covid lockdowns (smoking every evening) and I had to take several long breaks to reset my tolerance, I usually did this with my partner and I feel like it would have been much harder if she was still smoking (I struggle to say "no" if someone lights up anywhere near me.

I now smoke way less frequently, probs a couple of times a week, usually in the weekend. Weed only gets me very lethargic and I feel like I want to watch cat memes, stuff my face with unhealthy food and chill on the couch without doing much. It also tends to kill my sexual drive on the day.
On the other hand, I feel much more creating when sober, and I tend to spend my free time/energy playing music, drawing and going for long walks.

I miss what weed was like to me before, but I'm slightly coming to the realisation that perhaps it will never be the same, I wonder if others have had the same experience?
