AND NO POT DOES NOT MAKE YOUR HEART RATE RISE...IT DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE, IT RELAXES YOU AND BRINGS HEART RATES DOWN. This GosToker person is probably a cop trying to perpetuate the paranoia in you poor folks by posing a someone who knows some facts. This person is no friend...don't trust him.

Heart Issues:
Because cannabis increases heart rate, it could potentially increase risks of heart problems in those at risk of heart disease. One study found that cannabis use increased the risk of heart attack in men over 40, but its findings were weak and based on a very small number of individuals. In a large study of 65,000 individuals in California by Sidney et al in 1997, cannabis was not found to increase mortality rates among users under 50.
