Why does THC speed up the heart rate? Is this bad for you?

Why does THC speed up the heart?  Does it speed up everyone's heart?

Is this bad for your heart?

I know that cocaine is terrible for your heart...so I am wondering if THC is bad as well.  If anybody knows the science behind all of this...please help! thanks!

anybody have any insight?

I know that in a lot of users the heart rate is sped up about 20 percent.  Is this bad for your heart?  What happens to your blood pressure as well?
