What Could Gland Swelling After Reuse Of Weed Indicate?

I used to smoke weed a lot. Maybe 2-3 times a day. I quit for about 1month now. The other day I smoked weed for 2 days. Just bong hits. I now have swollen glands under my earlobe and right behing my jaw. Its not painful. But makes my face a little swollen. What could this be?

Lymph nodes react to something to which you are immune or something that irritates the immune system. Most people do not have any immune reaction to marijuana. Can be something other than marijuana in the cigarette such as a chemical. Or you might have more of a reaction to marijuana than most people. It's a bit of a scary finding and would be a reason to not smoke or have other interactions with it.
