Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent attacks of migraines.
My response to your question is as follows.

Migraine is usually a chronic disease with recurrent episodes. The episodes can be triggered by a variety of factors like weather, food, anxiety, stress....
Smoking weed can precipitate an attack of migraine.
The recurrent attacks of migraine can be prevented by use of prophylactic drugs. The commonly used prophylactic drugs are flunarizine or beta blockers like propranolol.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for any further questions and I will be happy to answer and assist you.

Thank you
