do i have a dry socket?

i got my wisdom teeth extracted on saturday. its now tuesday. i smoked a bowl of weed which i packed very lightly and the hole of the bowl was big. so it was basically like just taking a regular breath. i say this cause i know that your not suppose to cause suction. but now its starting to bother me a lil bit and it feels different than it usually did. am i just being paranoid cause im high or am i in the clear? has it been long enough to where i cant get a dry socket?

also the area it hurts is the tooth that was impacted. if that helps the answers.

If you had dry socket, it wouldn't just "feel different". It would be a very intense pain with a bad smell. You really shouldn't be sucking on anything tho until your extraction does heal, because if you do develop dry socket, it can take months to heal. If you do develop any new pain in the area of your extraction, you should see your dentist as soon as possible.

The heat of smoking can affect the socket, although you packed it lightly it could affect the extraction site. The chemicals in weed are bad too!
