does anything legal work (trees)

Feel ridiculous asking this. But I live in one of the more restricted cannabis states so wondering if the gummies I could go buy down the street are actually helpful or more weird.

I know a friend ate some and next thing I knew she was sending me the strangest memes I've ever seen.
I'm not having a lot of success with stimulants nor ritalin, unfortunately alcohol helps me a lot with clearer thinking, confidence, energy, but I don't want to drink all the time. I'm looking for something to help me relax yet have energy (body is tired, mind is a disaster). Is this impossible??
