weed causes your heart to beat slower. In turn ur heart would compensate by beating stronger, this explains ur palpitations. Ur heart is not beating faster, it beats stronger. Drowsiness is a common side effect of Cannabis; fainting, on the other hand, is less common. You wouldn't have a heart attack caused by smoking weed.
I would advice you to stop smoking weed, this is a dangerous drug. Chronic marijuana users are at increased risk for neurobehavioural difficulties. Heavy marijuana use may trigger "amotivational syndrome",this means you may become lethargic. would lack interest in work, relationships, personal health or even sex. though stopping is hard because of withdrawal symptoms, it is doable.

You are an idiot for smoking weed in the first place. You can have a heart attach at any age in life especially if you abuse your body the way you obviously are. Surely if when you don't smoke you don't get these symptoms then surely it is caused by the smoking of weed. It is too late when you are in a mental Hospital behaving like a vegetable.

Anything can happen. But I would say that you are more likely to have a heart attack from smoking weed than not.

well if you stop (and congrats on that) smoking then the beating of the heart increases but after a few hours it is very unlikely that you had a heart attack because a fact is that if have 40 times more weed than your body you have a chance i doubt it. good luck

Some people have different affects from weed. It normally causes drowsiness, but my heart's never pumped fast with it. Are you sure it isn't laced with something? You should at least wait till you're an adult to do these things.

Marijuana increases the likelihood of a heart attack by a very significant amount. Better read up on that, and get your heart checked, and make a decision on whether it's worth it to keep smoking.

Yes you can..and if you do and survive it you may end up with some serious damage to your heart to the point where you wont be able to participate in alot of activites with your friends by the time youre 18....also remember many medical professionals feel that pot is a gateway drug to harder stuff...such as crack,heroin,meth....I've treated many drug overdoses on teenagers and Im sorry to say that a few of them I couldnt bring back and a couple of them were first time users to whatever drug it was...dont become a statistic...cause if you do you will completely break your parents hearts....

Of course it can happen to you! Stop smoking the weed, if you need help, get it, Go to the school counselor or some adult that will help you before you blow your heart away .

Thats common specially when you first start, keep it up and it'll get better, but alota people freak out there first time and end up having a panic attack like you might have had, its a head thing, just gota tell yourself its normal and it'll pass with experience and tolerance...

It's just the weed, man. That's why I stopped smoking. No control and rabid paranoia.
