I have a sore throat. hurts very much to swallow. other than that, i feel great. i have been smoking weed a lot this summer. do you think thats why?

Probably!: Consider refraining form further smoking for the rest of the summer. If the pain remains as vivid, schedule a visit with your primary care physician for a thorough examination to rul anything else out.
