To begin, I don't want anyone preaching to me about the dangers of drug use. Thank you.

So I've heard it's common to get sore throats when you're not accustomed to smoking, but I'm becoming concerned at this point. Last Tuesday my friends and I were smoking, and it was around the 10th time I've ever smoked in my life. The joint had been passed around the large group of people only twice and my second hit was the last of it, so it felt like the only thing I inhaled was pure burning paper. My sore throat began developing less than an hour after, and it died down a bit yesterday, but I was yelling for a good bit of time today and now it's back full force, so much that I can barely talk. I'm not sure if I simply irritated my throat or really burnt it, but at what point should I decide to go see a doctor?
