Addiction Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hi,

Cannabis can cause both palpitations as well as anxiety and psychosis. Initially it is reversible on stopping cannabis but with continued use, many people find that the symptoms do not go away even on stopping cannabis completely. If you resume cannabis now, it is quite possible for you to have palpitations again as before. I would advise you to be very careful and avoid cannabis as much as possible as you seem to be prone to such adverse effects.

Best wishes.
