Hello!

Thank you for the query.

You need to know that no medicine will completely cure hemorrhoids. Only surgery can do that. Preparation H can help with the symptoms and decrease hemorrhoids, but it wont make them disappear. So I suggest you to consult your doctor and consider surgery.
Weed is not contraindicated when hemorrhoids are present. It can sometimes help with hemorrhoids as weed can prevent from constipation. The other thing is if weed is legal in your area.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
