High blood pressure and heart rate after smoking marijuana

I went to a buddys house and smoked marijuana the other day. I took my blood pressure right after and it was high at 150/90 with my heart rate at 150 beats per minute.... My blood pressure is usually 120/80 with a heart rate of 60-70. And to top it all off I had to ride my motorcycle home after smoking weed. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack on the way home and couldnt catch my breath..... Now I am having lower back pain... Is it possible that I damaged my kidneys from this exposure? My blood pressure is back to normal but im worried I damaged my kidneys now....
