How much could your heart rate accelerate if you smoke weed?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not to be flippant: But it will accelerate just as much as it needs to. The theoretical maximum heart rate for a 30 year old is in the range of 190. If your heart is going much over that, you need to see a doctor.

Marijuana : May increase catecholamines and cardiac workload increasing your heart rate. Studies showed that it won't affect the heart of young healthier users. In older persons it may placed them in higher risk if history of coronary artery disease present. 2013 analysis in american heart journal showed no significant increase in mortality between thc users in heart attack survivors.
