Does Smoking Marijuana Prolong The Healing Time Of Tonsillitis?
Hi, I have tonsillitis and was wondering if smoking or consuming weed orally would prolonge my healing time and affect my antibiotics (clarithromycin). I would simply stop smoking if it were that easy, but I use pot to treat my depression and borderline personality dissorder. Thanks in advance for the help
