Will Eating Brownie With Marijuana Cause Fast Heartbeat After 4 Days?
Hi - I ate a brownie with marijuana in it 4 days ago and now it feels like my herat beat is faster and heavier. I have never done marijuana in my life, this was my first and last time. It felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest which made me paranoid, even though I was told that my heart beat was relativly normal. What does this mean?

Hi,
What you experienced was a common effect of marijuana intoxication and has nothing to do with eating a brownie. Please do not worry. It was not due to a heart disease and you will be fine if you remain off marijuana. Many people believe that marijuana is quite harmless, but it is not so. There is enough evidence to show that it increase one's risk of developing psychosis and anxiety disorders.
Best wishes.
