Normal heart rate, not sure. All I know is that's what chronic does to ya! I doubt it's bad for ya, but let's wait and see if anyone posts any scientific evidence on the subject :D
It all depends on your age,weight, sex and all that other good stuff.
But generally a normal heart weight for an adult is anywhere from 60 beats a minute to 100 beats a minute.
Here is something that tells you how to test your heart rate.
To measure the pulse at the wrist, place the index and middle finger over the underside of the opposite wrist, below the base of the thumb. Press firmly with flat fingers until you feel the pulse. To measure the pulse on the neck, place the index and middle finger just to the side of the Adam's apple, in the soft, hollow area. Press firmly until the pulse is located.
Once you find the pulse, count the beats for 1 full minute, or for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. This will give the beats per minute.
i always think my heart is gonna like jumpt out of my chest
That's called paranoia :thumbsup:
Only happens to me in some sketchy situation, but not every sketchy situation. It was more when I was a newbie.
well i still get high tho and i dont freak out or anythingQuote:

I recall my friend talking about how she was so afraid she was going to have a heart attack everytime she smoked weed. I tried to tell her it was just the chronic and nothing to worry about but she insisted on going to the doctor and asking them and even they asked her if she had been doing drugs :X.
By the way, does anyone know what kind of bud produces this effect, sativa or indica?

whatd she tell the doctor
On these new meds i've been checking out my heart rate, it's been around 100 when still lately. I have seen my rate before the meds and it was around 70. On weed my heart rate doesn't change much if at all. So I dunno anything about what's wrong with you. Maybe you have some anxiety, sativa's will agitate my anxiety and anxiety increases the heart rate so...
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:

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
For a short period of time, such as exercising (people can get anywhere from 120-180 bpm with exercising) 180 will not kill you, under normal and healthy circumstances. However, if you heart rate is 180+ for an extended period of time, say during a cardiac episode (heart attack, atrial fib, or ventricular fib), or an overdose of a particularly dangerous drug, yes, it very well may damage your heart to the point of cardiac arrest, or death.Quote:

Well usually heart rate increase isn't a big thing for me. If it does happen it only happens for about 5 mins..10 mins max. But most of the time my heart rate doesn't really beat all that much faster than it does when I'm sober and if it does then I really don't notice the difference.
hmm mine used to after my long breaks of not smoking.
smoking again, i'd get so jittery because my heart beat was racing so fast. then i got paranoid that my heart was going to explode, not anymore though. ;P
Yeah. My heart rate always increases after a long break from it haha.
