Yeah, it sounds like a lot of your problem is simple panic, and anxiety like me. The weed will increase your heart rate, but if you can keep your calm, it's not nearly as bad as when you FREAK OUT about it, ya know?
Stay chill, and you should be fine. You're young, yes? I'm 35 and have a 'little' more to worry about when it comes to heart conditions.
Later,
Yea im only 16 when my buddy went to the ER he was making it worse by being stoned and watching the machine that was checking his heart rate.
Hey, hun. You can't respond to PMs, actually. It's a one-way system, basically, and we mostly use it for infractions and warnings and the like. There are a few members online who had one of the former "cafe" memberships, a paid membership, essentially, and they have PM capabilities. But other than that, it's a one-way system. I'm going to put my email address into my signature if I happen to be the one you were wanting to respond to. (Just a guess.)Quote:

Don't worry, hun. Not a problem at all. You're just learning the ropes, and I am, too. (I'm a new moderator.) No apologies necessary. I just want you to be taking real good care of your heart and not messing with that other stuff we can't talk about here. Bad news for the heart, those things. We want you to live to be 120! And if you take good care of your heart and mind, you can.
No need to worry I stopped all of that stuff long ago when I learned it could put lesions i think it was..? scars on your brain :o Can I say that much?
Heart racing doesn't bother me anymore, I accepted that a change in the heart rate is an effect of smoking cannabis and it only seems to happen for the first few minutes of while I'm high, then later I wont notice it. But I just don't want to over work my heart :(.
That exact reason gives us: "cannabis causes the most emergency room visits amongst teens" not true one bit..I believe it's alcohol..but either way..why would you go to the hospital because your heart is beating a bit faster? That's what marijuana does to you..it makes you feel different..(not the same as you usually do) Oh..my wow. Could you please give me the link to where you found the information about marijuana causing heart attacks? Thanks.Quote:

And remember what the government told us..In Marihuana lurks: Murder, insanity, and death!!! Stay away from the evil weed. Anyone on this website who has been smoking for the majority of their lives is lying to you when they tell you that they've never had any adverse side effects associated with cannabis. :thumbsup:Quote:

Here are some links about the increased heart-attack risk:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/664296.stm
And here's a good one about the fact that, even though weed contains more carcinogenic chemicals than tobacco, it isn't associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. They think that's because the THC has a cancer-inhibitive effct. (We already know that it seems to have that same inhibitive effect on certain types of cancerous nerve cells in the brain.)
