Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
As per the description of your symptoms, this painless scrotal swelling could be due to a hydrocele or a varicocele. Sometimes a chronic epididymitis can also cause a one-sided scrotal mild swelling. You need a proper physical examination, and if necessary, further investigations, in order to arrive at the exact diagnosis. So, I would advise you to see a doctor in your place for the same.
It is unlikely that the swelling is due to your marijuana use, however, it is better to avoid it since it can cause other medical and psychological complications.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
