Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
It is unlikely that the pain in your testicles is directly related to smoking weed. The pain can be due to various causes like orchitis (infection / inflammation of the testes), epididymits (infection / inflammation of the epididymis), hydrocele (accumulation of fluid in the testicular sac), testicular torsion, etc.
Since you seem to have significant pain (even on slight touching), I would advise you to get yourself examined by a doctor to find out the likely cause of the pain, so that appropriate treatment can be given. So, please inform your parents about this problem and see a doctor as early as possible.
Though this particular problem may not be due to smoking weed, still I wish to remind you that this habit can result in various adverse health consequences. So, please refrain from this habit. If you are having trouble quitting, you can also seek professional help form a counsellor or your doctor.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
