One of the lesser known facts about weed smoking is that within that first hour or two of smoking, your risk of heart attack increases by about five times what it normally is. You're also at greater risk of arrhythmias during this time. Although lots of people enjoy touting the fact that no one has ever died from smoking weed, the medical community knows that plenty of people have likely died from weed-smoking-initiated heart attacks. Only the official cause, of course, is a heart attack. But weed smoking does present some risks to the heart.

This part here is what scares me if I get high and may have a heart attack I would rather not get high. My friend had this happen to him also a few months back and he actually went to the emergency room he almost died that night his heart rate was so high and the doctors told him he almost had a stroke so he dostent smoke anymore
