Hey stix,

 

THe active compounds in pot will make your heart pound (palpitations/ increased heart rate). This is well known and is not dangerous (unless you got a bodgy heart). I find some strains will really get my heart going and others not so much.

 

Some strains of pot have particuarly strong effects in some areas such as pain relief, muscle relaxation, appetite stimulation, reduction or increase in anxiety, mood and others.

 

mixing with tobacco changes the way the drug is absorbed into the body and also the high. the nicotine has stimulant effects, giving you a real rush with mixed cones especially. Nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure. try smoking all green, or just with a tiny amout of tobacco.

 

beware of residues in the bong or funky ash. THis would indicate some thing foregin on the pot

 

hope this helps

G'day Stix. Some smokes I've had over the years have made my heart feel like it's trying to jump outa my chest. Scary when the sweats and shit are combined with it. It's undignified to crawl outa someones house on all fours. Edited April 6, 2011 by auntynorm

I have never smoked any weed that slowed my heart rate. I'm pretty sure this has never been proven to be an effect of THC.

 

"quote"

One of the most consistent effects of cannabis intoxication is an increased heart rate. For this reason alone it would not be normally recommended for patients with cardiovascular problems. However, THC also acts as a smooth-muscle relaxant, relaxing the walls of the arteries, which can result in lower blood pressure and increased blood flow to the tissues[ii][iii]. The effect taken together is analogous to a car changing down a gear.
