No, I don't think any and all experiences under the influence of pot should be dismissed as meaningless.

In my experience, occasional use of high quality weed has been very beneficial. It gives me a chance to step outside my normal routines of daily thinking and self talk for a few hours, and just look around and experience reality in a different way, which in turn reduces stress, improves mood, and makes music sound great and food taste amazing. The improved mood and stress reduction last long after the experience for me.

Of course getting high all the time probably is not good for you generally. Like any drug, it can easily be misused and overused. But that doesn't mean all experiences with it for everyone are meaningless.
