I've had a bit of experience with this, and I have a lot of friends in a similar situation. Personally I find smoking pot affects my dream recall, but having trained my dreaming memory it doesn't affect me as much as it did. Generally I'd suggest you quit if you are really interested in dreaming. If it comes to choosing one or the other, you want to give dreaming a chance (..all we are saying..) and have a fuller experience of it through lucid training etc., so you at least know which one you truly prefer.
The other day I was thinking out loud to a friend that maybe pot brings one's dreaming attention energy into physical reality using it up, but on the other hand it's a definite shift that makes it hard to remember things and so the conscious mind is sluggish in it's memory which is really important during dreaming and projection experiences.
Here's a post on my blog regarding the topic with some suggested herbs that may help counteract it a little, including a link to a more in-depth article: http://ilovelucid.com/questions-answered/what-are-the-effects-of-thc-on-lucid-dreamers/
But if you want to quit pot try smoking Damiana regularly instead, it gives you a blissful feeling if you keep smoking it and actually helps dreaming too..
