I think you should keep focus on dream recall to be sure, ADA I have no opinion on as it's not something I've tried myself.
As for the rest, I wouldn't recommend it at all, but yes, technically you could self-deprive yourself of sleep for a REM rebound... This is easily noticeable when doing all-nighters, especially more than one night in a row.
Can't stress this enough, I really wouldn't rely on this as a method for consistently achieving lucidity, because while you may be more likely to get (possibly vivid) dreams from REM rebounds, there's no guarantee you'll have lucidity from REM rebounds. Either way, sleep deprivation will lead to extra tiredness, which could mean you end up unable to focus on things while dreaming anyway and potentially having unsatisfying lucidity.
Sleep deprivation is something quite bad for me, so personally I would value normal sleep more than I would attempts at lucidity if it meant a choice between skipping sleep/having abnormal sleep or just having normal sleep. You will know yourself and hopefully you already have some experience with sleep deprivation to assess what effect it has on you. If your Marijuana still allowed you to sleep but without REM, I would still imagine it wouldn't be healthy to do it a lot in the long-run, even if it was just over the weekends. If your use of Marijuana is casual/not frequent anyway, maybe there aren't huge risks to you, but basically I would just say, be prudent and basically don't abuse yourself if that's ever at stake - that's what would be on my mind at least.
