Is It Safe To Smoke Some Marijuana With Swollen Tonsils?
Swollen tonsils but no sign of infection, is it safe to smoke some marijuana? I have had swollen tonsils for the past 2 days, I have drank a lot of warm beverages and I have gargled with salt water. It hurts to swallow, but with ibuprofen it doesn't. Is it okay to take a hit or two out of medium sized bong? I don't smoke a lot, I just want to smoke a little bit to relieve my sore neck pains.

Hi. Marijuana is never a good thing to smoke, and never with a throat / tonsil infection. You may need additional antibiotics if the problem worsens.
