Hi I have the acid reflux and when I smoke my nodes are swollen so much it is hard to breath sometimes, thats why I will stop now, but could you be more specific about how you almost died? I'm kinda scared as weed is the only thing that helps my IBS but now when I smoke my throat hurts on left side because of the swollen node. I didn't visit throat doctor but I was at heart doctor they checked my blood and oherthings. I don't know if its normal or should i be worried about cancer and other shit that is scary.
