Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query numbness in tongue while smoking weed and taking alcohol in combination with that is a very common symptom. Tongue remain numb for 3-4 days or might be 7-10 days after smoking weed depending on frequency and quantity of smoking weed taken. Once effect of that weed goes away tongue will resume its normal functioning.

I would suggest you to stop smoking weed if not immediately at least start discontinuing it. Drink a lot of water or juices. Exercise daily to get rid of this habit as it will improve your blood circulation

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
