Hi i read your query very carefully.
You suffer from PAC and smoking marijuana will make them worse. One of the major mechanism of PAC is triger activity of atrial muscle and this activity is increased by the consumation of alcohol, caffeine or drugs. So i suggest to stop smoking it.
Hope it answered to your query!
