Is racing heart, heart beating out of you chest, something that marijuana does to some peoples bodys, or is it all mental and in theyre heads? what is a way to stop your heart beating out of your chest. low dose? or xanax? or could good old meditation solve the problem?

well of course the easy answer is that its both physical and mental, as those things each affect eachother..
if you think its nothing serious, i bet you can slow it down a bit by controlling your breathing, but if that consistently happens i don't really see the point in continuing to smoke. cut it down some, or a lot..
xanax would do the trick, but its not a good thing to rely on.. by the time it kicked in, the feeling probably would've passed anyway

Physical and Mental are interconnected. Your brain is physical, yet it house your fourth dimension, ma'an. The MENTAL.
Just sayin'.
Why are you asking though, I could give you a real answer if I knew that question.

Sometimes I can't donate plasma when I'm really high because my heartrate is way off. Sometimes it's below what they require, and sometimes it's above, depending on the type of weed I smoked. I try my damndest to moderate my heartrate before they check it too, it's probably a lot of both.

Marijuana is known to accelerate your heartbeat a bit, so I guess you have nothing to worry about. I often have this happen to me after smoking a joint, taking deep deep breaths help a lot.
My bro thought he was dying when he first smoked pot, and 5 minutes later he was sleeping like a baby!

Best solution: get a vape
I am a very non-anxious person. I never get stressed out and I never have panic attacks. Still to this day, even with a tolerance, if I bong enough weed fast enough, I will get a terrible body load.
It is a super uncomfortable feeling, and I sometimes have uncontrollable muscle spasms. I haven't had this happen in a long time.
I can get waaaay higher with a vape than with a bong, but not get that super uncomfortable body load I get when I'm too high with the bong. The high just feels a lot cleaner, and less paranoid and edgy.

Well... A short answer is this:
You don't need to smoke a whole joint to get the good effects of MJ. Really, I only need a couple of hits and I'm DANDY like Kim Deal.
You could also subscribe to the idea that MJ is psychedelic, and try to adjust your set and setting accordingly.
I stole this from our very own Experiencing Mushrooms portion of the website, The Psychedelic Experience Forum provided that link, and many more that could apply to chilling out while on a psychotropic, like MJ, yo. (Direct Link., The Psychedelic Experience Must Reads)
"The key to good first trips is set and setting. Don’t plan on going out while tripping the first time, that would be very stressful. Plan to stay in, rent an IMAX DVD if you get a chance, they are excellent. Plan on listening to music, it’s amazing (Blue Man Group blows my mind). Just enjoy the experience in a very low stress environment. Having a couple of other people tripping with you is cool, but know them well.**" Just Sayin'

Also, be aware that smoking MJ will make you a lot more aware of whats going on inside your own body, if you pay attention
I've accidentally paid attention to much once and freaked out thinking I would never be able to sit up from the lotus position once! I thought that my spine was just to straight and rigid (which, of course, it was at the time) and I'd be stuck in Lotus FOR_EVER!!
Which in hindsight might not be that bad.

It's not very abnormal, but maybe smoke smaller amounts at a time to avoid it. Also if you're toking on a bowl, space out your hits, no reason to smoke it all at once! When your heart starts pounding you need to focus on your breathing, breathe in deeply and exhale as much as possible, repeat.
