why is increased heart rate considered dangerous when it comes as a side effect of drugs (ie cocaine, marijuana) but considered beneficial and necessary when caused by aerobic exercise?

Question

I’ve even seen “increased risk of stroke” caused by this increase in heart rate. Something is not adding up here, why such a big difference?

Answer 1

You can slow down or take a break if your heart is going too fast from exercise, but chemicals are going to keep going until they’re out of your system.
