If you ever experienced what he experienced, you would know. Its not just a 'racing heart'. Other things fall into play as well. One being extreme panic and anxiety. Palpitations, and the feeling your heart is going to beat out of your chest. Dizzyness, light headedness, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, etc..

Many people, I would assume, have gone to the ER after smoking cannabis because cannabis can, at times, bring on such symptoms. Some people are in such a panic when this happens, they actually believe they could die, and that is always cause for a vist to the ER, imo.

Better safe than sorry, right? (The heart is nothing to be played around with)

Two cents...
