I don't have to get over anything. I don't see how being bothered by people stereotyping me means I'm the one with the problem. Or that I have some unhealthy obsession.

You are right - no one should tell you that you need to get over being bothered by the opinions that others have of you. That would mean that you should be concerned about the opinion of the person giving you the advice, which you shouldn't be (and obviously aren't).
I will give you one additional small piece of advice, which seems logical based on your response to my post: if you don't give a shit about my opinion, you shouldn't give a shit about why people think you are smoking pot.
