General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Rapid heart rate can happen with marijuana.

It is a transient response and the rate will return to normal spontaneously.

Nothing much to worry and it does not indicate any disease condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
