I'm sure most of you know about this. I'v done some research, on Marijuana forums over the net, and have found this happens to 30% of people who smoke weed. ---- So, Whenever I smoke my heart starts going very, very fast, and it feels like Im going to have a heart attack or such. I mean, it feels like its beating right out of skin. Im just sitting there watching TV, and it feels like Iv just run the 100 meters. This will stay for around 2 houres till the weed wears off. Iv tried not having as much weed, and my heart dident beat fast when standing still, but everytime I walked or got up, my body would be so heavy and my heart would start beating very fast, but begin to die down when i sat down after 30 seconds. Does ANYBODY have any info on this? As I said befor, I'v searched this on google, and ALOT of people seem to be getting this problem. I really love the high weed gives me but Im affriad what will happen if my heart keeps going a-wall. Thanks for reading. Oh and sorry if this is all over the place Im pretty drunk
Yeah I've definately had this happen to me before, especially when I first started smoking after I had not done so for a long time. And it was good weed. I was worried at first, but I attributed the fast heartbeat to the fact that I was worried about it. Take hold of your breathing. Relax. You can control your heartbeat, and even if you can't...don't worry about it. It will go away soon enough...try not to let it ruin your high.
I get that sometimes. But not for the whole high. Like, sometimes, I'll get paranoid for a second, and it starts racing, but even after I'm not worrying about whatever I was worried about, it will keep beating real hard. So I just try to consciously slow my breathing, take deep long breaths, and just FEEL my heart. Get in touch with it, get to know it. After a little while of this (due to cannabis-induced time distortion, I'm not sure how long...I'd guess 5 minutes?), it starts to slow. The breathing helps a lot, and so does the meditation. I think it WANTS to slow back down to it's regular speed, but for some reason we are keeping it going fast. We just have to let it slow down on it's own, you know? Heh, sometimes, after doing all that and when I feel I have control over it, I'm almost afraid I will fuck it all up, in my bumbling human ways, and somehow make it stop beating. Like I've somehow turned an involuntary action into a voluntary one, but I don't know how to properly do it voluntarily. Haha, weed is a fun drug, lol. Ever consider the fact that your paranoia about it beating so hard is why it beats so hard?
ever taken a hit so big that it makes you caugh so hard that you puke, that sent my heart racing, but then after it subsided i started seeing double and i stared at a lava lamp for 3 hours, there was a movie on the tv underneath the lavalamp but i thought the lavalamp was more interesting at the time
I cant ignore it. Its like...hearts are not ment to beat this fast, for this amount of time. Its like running the 100 meters for 2 houres non stop. Im just scared, and I have quit smoking weed becuase of this
it could be going fast from the pot..then get faster cause you freak out..just relax and remember your ok and it'll slow down..
When will people realise that you cant die from weed! One of its effects is a faster heartbeat, it happens to more than 30% of ppl, you suually jsut dont notice it. I had one reall ystrong, i i knew it was storng caus i looked in the mirror and my jugulars were pulsating like crazy, but i knew its a non-toxic drug and so i forgot about it. I know someone who had a panic attack and vowed not to do it again (haha i scored so much free weed) jsut caus their heart rate was high. The only problem it can cause it like feingint.
i second that. sure, you can't die. but you can have a heart attack. hooray heartattacks! (i've got the damn "horray beer" red stripe thing stuck in my head)
yer, last regular aussi was chased away by the americans! lol But anywya umm heart attack = high probability of death. You wont get a heart attack from weed. If you could, so many people would have died from them. And the cause for such a heart attack death would be marijuana, and it would be well known. Marijuana makes your blood vessels relax, and so your blood pressure drops. your heart speeds up because of the low blood pressure. This is how i understand it to be.
Ok thanks for the info. That made me feel a little better, and made me think off buying a 25 and see of I can overcome this, but one thought keeps coming back to my mind is hearts arnt ment to beat this fast for 2 houres.
yeah this usually happens to me. i find when im high that my senses are so much more active and i can practically feel nearly every part of my body and hows it moving and such. i think its awesome
