For me, weed doesn't seem to negatively affect me at all. I find it easier to concentrate when I smoke and my visualization skills improve immensely. Honestly it affects everyone differently and if you want to keep smoking then there's no reason you can't also work on OBE and astral travel. My most vivid experiences in the astral occur when I smoke beforehand. Admittedly at first the weed would dull my senses and I'd kind of just pass out into 'dreamless' sleep but, after really working on meditating and coming to understand how smoking affects my thinking, I've learned to use the calmness and the positive feelings that smoking provides in my meditations, rituals, astral travel, etc.
People have differing opinions when it comes to drugs and magick. It's important that you make your own mind up about the issue and just work from there. If you don't think you can stop smoking then maybe you aren't supposed to quit or don't have to. Just try smoking and meditating at first, then work your way up to astral travel/dream workings etc.
The most important I can recommend doing if you aren't going to quit (or even if you do) is to meditate. The more you meditate, the more you learn about yourself, grow in power, find an inner peace, etc and all of this makes for easier astral travel.
