Yes, Marijuana damages the heart by making it work faster. This increased heart rate is as an associative symptom of anxiety, panic attacks, and paranoia which are the effects of Marijuana.

Re: Raising your heart rate does not necessarily mean damage. Caffeine and exercise will do this. No medical link between marijuana use and Heart disease have ever been found: this from the Santa Barbara Cardiovascular Group. The only benefit mentioned was marijuana lowers blood pressure.

Yes smoking can cause heart attacksSmoking accelerates the process of atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries), which can lead to a heart attack; and smoking can also increase the risk of blood clots, which can block arteries. In fact, in 2008 a study reported that smoking is the major cause of heart attacks in people under 40.

no. but it is normal for your heart rate to go up. if your heart stings hours after smoking the marijuana, than its probably not the marijuana doing it. it may be laced, but very unlikely. maybe it wasnt the marijuana, and its something else? dont smoke weed if your getting bad chest pains and you think the weed is causing it.
