I think it's the rush stimulating the central nervous system. But I thought weed was supposed to slow your heart rate, especially after a while.

Likewise, smoking also increases blood pressure and the heart rate, which means that the body will need more oxygen. The heart will have to work faster to obtain the necessary oxygen, which is in poor supply due to the effects of the carbon monoxide from the smoke and this will therefore lead to stress on the heart, which could cause angina or a sudden heart attack.

tl;dr version:
get your blood pressure checked

No kidding. I'm almost always sitting down when I smoke. I never thought about that before.

My heart sometimes races too. But guys, cannabis lowers blood pressure. Do you notice how when your heart races its kind of a light beat beat beat rather than a walloping BEAT BEAT BEAT?
