I've experienced both and tbh there isn't much of a difference between smoked and oral cannabis.
Obviously the duration and onset are affected but everything else not so much. The reason why people say it's psychedelic when dosed orally is because you never know how intense is going to be. Typically it doesn't work at all or it's way too strong.
When you don't use cannabis that much, you can get way higher than enticipated even with smoking the stuff. It is seen by society as a benign plant that you smoke and at most giggle a bit and then get sleepy and hungry. It is definetly powerfull and relatively potent by weight.
Besides the mentioned effects I feel that cannabis has a mixed effect, and I would classify it as more of an intoxicant than anything other. Hear me out... it is not a upper, it doesn't "speed you up" and "get you going", it doesn't keep you awake at night and dull your apetite. There's no such thing as being spun on weed. It is not a downer, you don't just fall asleep or black out on it with no recolaction of what you did at the time of influence. It's not a hallucinogen (neither psychedelic, nor dissasociative (spelling ???), nor a deliriant). It doesn't create visuals, neither OEV nor CEV. Some visual distortions and an enhanced imagination are not considered hallucinating.
It is however powerfull, you can get high as a kite on it. It is also a very benefitial plant with many positive medicinal effects. It doesn't have much side effects, and those that it has are easily managable, and while you are high, you might not even care about it. I've yet to meet a person that smoked a joint and became an arogant asshole after it.
In conclusion... definetly not psychedelic, but still an amaizing tool. Either you like its effects and use it or you don't. Classifying a drug into a certian category doesn't make it automatically a "good drug" or a "bad drug".
