Neither smoking weed nor masturbation reduces the effectiveness of the rabies vaccine.
Your intradermal 4-dose rabies vaccination given in June has already built long-term protective immunity, and these habits do not interfere with how the immune system responds to the vaccine.

Rabies Vaccination does not lose effectiveness because someone smokes cannabis or masturbates. Cannabis use, even several times per week, does not meaningfully suppress immune function to the point of compromising rabies vaccination.
