Befriended for smoking cannabis occasionally?

So I have a good friend, lets say around the 8 yr mark and were both 22, So since about one year ago

I started smoking weed on weekends, only a small amount it unwinds me like people say alcohol does for them (I don't drink at all) and has stopped my anxiety.. + the feeling is neat.

Now since my friend found out about this he has been so judgmental of me, he used to do it himself, if I make a mistake with something or bring up an odd topic out of the blue I can tell he is immediately thinking its ''drugs'' he even asked my friend we were with if he thinks its obvious I smoke by looking at me and he said no which shut him up, followed by telling me all his friends who started smoking weed are now stoner losers and said ill end up like them, I told him there's a big difference between a little bit on the weekend compared to 5 joints a day, months later I'm still the same then he sent me a study done on how people witch schizophrenia are likely to smoke pot and since then hasn't contacted me again, i spoke to him a few times but nothing on his half.

Update:

Question being what action do I take about his childlike behavior.

    In all honesty it sounds like you might be better off without him if he's going to be such a jerk about it.

    But it also seems like he is genuinely worried about you and your future. I have seen many friends start with weed and stay its okay and they are in control and then drop out of school and get dead end jobs to fuel their addictions, and I've learned to see a pattern. Maybe he does too? In this case I would recommend you to "take a break" from him for a few months, and then when you see each other again he can be reassured that you didn't become a compleat pothead. Or craycray schizophrenic.

    You can always pretend to quick and maybe take a 'T-break' and just start toking secretly after he is convinced you've stopped.

    There's also the chance that he had a bad trip last time he got high and that's why he's fully against it now, maybe of you could somehow convince him to smoke with you to show him that it's okay and nothing bad is going to happen to him.

    Hope this helps!
