Ive developed gerd or acid reflux from swallowing weed smoke,if i get it cured will it ever come back if i smoke weed like i used to or even smoke weed at all,what will happen if i smoke weed while i still have it,or can i at least have edibles?

Its the smoke: Smoking anything causes GERD to worsen. The irritating chemicals, the heat and the toxins found in smoke can irritate the lining of the esophagus and cause the esophageal sphincters to spasm leading to reflux. Surprisingly, marijuana edibles do not worsen GERD. Remember that marijuana edibles are stronger and take longer to initiate a reaction- don't take to much.
