HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Since the symptoms are occurring after you smoke then it is likely that they are related.

Smoking marijuana can be associated with increased mucus production in some persons as well as coughing.

It would be best , as you suggested to try to stop if you are having negative effects.
I hope this helps
