I would not rely on weed for GERD if I were you. GERD causes damage that causes more pain at the least and can lead to permanent damage or even infection and death at the worst! You want to stop GERD if at all possible, not just mask its symptoms with a pain reliever/apatite stimulant.

My friend has very intense GIRD that sounds similar to yours (well, he used to). He has had great success with the Proton pump inhibitor Prilosec, which I believe is available in over-the-counter strength as well as prescription. Ask your doctor about this class of drugs. Proton pump inhibitors are more effective than H2 blockers and antacids can't even compare to them. They can relieve symptoms and heal the esophageal lining in almost everyone who has GERD.

The bitch of it is that he has to spend a lot of money (well, a lot to some people) on the drugs. But his life is as normal as anyone else's now. Before Prilosec he was in constant pain.

By all means use weed if you can find some... but you'll be wise to stop the symptoms now with a targeted GERD drug instead of hiding them. Otherwise you might end up in the hospital requiring a lot more then a bong hit.
