hello
it looks like that you have developed a throat infection namely tonsillitis, which is causing your tonsils to enlarge.You will need antibiotics for it , you will also have to stop marijuana as it will only make matters worse. please continue gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day and meet your doctor for the prescription.
