Of course you reject it because you smoke weed. You want to believe only the positive indications about weed smoking.
Why do you cite an article as basis for your statement that it may hardwire people to adapt against negative peer influence, but reject something else that shows a negative effect in the same article?
Hmm, I guess the ability to read scientific articles requires balanced criticism as well.
It's not all black or white.

Are chronic cannabis users less sensitive to negative peer influence? (ie: Bullying, ostracism, etc...)

The social neuroscience of cannabis smoking
in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
First of all, cannabis smokers are not hop heads. If you care about politeness, why not show the example and calls things respectfully?
Second, there's substantial evidences that cannabis users may have enhanced social saliency and interpersonal communication skills: "Human studies have shown that marijuana heightens the saliency of social interactions (1), enhances interpersonal communication (2, 3), and decreases hostile feelings within small social groups (4)."
