Can weed help me?

I'm a 38 year old male who has never really done any sort of mind or mood altering substance in my life. I don't drink, never touched tobacco, or tried any kind of drug. That said, I've known a few people who have smoked at gatherings I've been to. Nothing huge, but they seem to get into the general staples of marijuana use. Giggly, hungry, chill, etc.

My main issue is that I'm really stressed out with a lot of anxiety. Worries about this or that. Trouble sleeping, mild aches and pains, low mood. I can't seem to find a decent therapist, antidepressants don't really agree with me, and I'm stuck in my current situation.

I mainly just want to relax, not worry, and sleep. I don't know if this the correct path, so I'm wanting to ask some experts. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
