Yesterday I smoked for the first time in a while... some strong stuff too. I could fucking feel the vibrations of my heart in my ears. When I took the pulse it was about 168 beats per min, so i layed down next to the toilet cause I was already coming down with a sickness, but it wasn't bad.
I ended up throwing this high away by napping it off..Way too intense when just coming back to smoking after a few weeks.
Normal heart rate for someone who's teenaged or adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. A very athletic person has a slower heart rate, generally, between 40 and 60. Smoking weed raises your heart rate and blood pressure, especially right after smoking. Cigarettes do the same thing. That's why weed increases your risk of heart attacks and rhythm problems in that early after-smoking period. It's also irritating to the lungs, which'll also affect your heart rate.
dude ive had that before too where i can feel that in my ears and if im baked and do something physically active when i stop i can feel it in my headQuote:

A good heart rate *while exercising* is 120-160 usually, depending on your age and the type of training you're doing. If smoking raises your heart rate that much you should probably smoke less or talk to a doctor about it.
Cannabis does elevate the heart rate (usually in response to lowered systemic blood pressure). You can try some deep breathing exercises if your heart rate is slightly elevated but if it is 168 that is alarming - to me, at least. Be careful.
Additionally - if you are panicky you may THINK your heart rate is elevated, when it actually isn't. My husband often thinks his heart is going to explode when he smokes (that's why he quit) but I take his heart rate at those times and it is normal. Look at a clock and take your actual heart rate if you're in doubt.
Its normal. A side effect of marijuana is tachycardia which is an increased and sometimes irregular heartbeat. Its nothing too serious for a healthy heart.

I was having a panic attack and I was high when i wrote this and my heart rate was at about 140
