Marijuana is a stimulant. Depending on what type you are using. Your central nervous system is comprised of the sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems. A chemical introduced to your system with sympathetic properties (ie: Marijuana, Cocaine, Pseudoephedrine) will increase heart rate, pupil dilation, blood pressure due to vasoconstriction, and lengthened sense of time.

You're heart rate gets jacked because you are actually taking in a stimulant. Just the bodies normal response. If you're a guy that can't handle a cup of coffee...then weed may not be for you.
