weed is fine for some people, not fine for others. if it has become a problem, you may consider abstaining - and getting help if you need it.

for those with substance abuse problems, taking advise from those who either don't have those problems or are in denial about those problems is probably not the wisest course.

since you asked, it sounds like you might have some concerns. anyway, that's my 2 cents.

i once quit weed for 4 months by moving to Korea where it near impossible to get. ended up picking up back smoking cigarettes, abusing alcohol, and abusing food and sugar. ended up getting my first cavity after this trip, got fat, and ruined my mental health even more instead of fixing it like i thought. i realized after that i am the problem not the weed. the weed is the solution and distracts me from my many other more destructive vices

this makes sense to me. there are a lot of short-cuts in life. for many, mood-altering substances are a bit of a trap.

part of the issue is that certain substances, on a mass basis, pose less of a problem than others. many can drink alcohol or take some hits recreationally, with little dire effect. much less so with, say, crack/opioids/meth.

its a complex issue. i have reservations about legalizing weed, but do recognize its widespread use, and the problems we've had with prohibition measures in the past/present. let the voters decide.

for highly-addictive drugs, i am dead set against legalization, on pragmatic moral grounds. their meager benefits are swamped by their destructive effects. i'm not a libertarian, and don't propose to assent to people being readily enabled to destroy their lives.
