It's just a support network... peers that believe in you to do better things.

If you can't take criticism then you have every right to shut out people who are concerned about you and toke instead.

I personally felt bad about myself when I was using weed to medicate. What was freedom became something I couldn't escape from. Many people might not want to be where they are and want help to function. You never know if that person needs support.

On the other hand if you are functioning and know that you've earned what you enjoy, you can probably handle someone voicing concern.
