Does Smoking Weed Affect The Throat?
Hello, I m 23 with a couple dental issues. Taking penicillin at the moment for an infection under a molar tooth, but I noticed that when I smoke even small amounts of weed, my throat feels tense and tight. No pain and my breathing is ok. I m just curious what it might be from. I also smoke cigarettes but it hasn t happened after smoking them. Thanks!
