What Causes Heart Murmur?

I have a stills heart murmur (innocent murmur). I was wondering if it would be okay to smoke marijuana. I’ve done a lot of research and it says that it could raise your heart rate and I originally have a fast heart rate anyway. I’m afraid I’m gonna be nervous about doing it so my heart rate would be high because of that plus the smoking part I was afraid it could lead to a heart attack. I’ve put a lot of thought into it I’m just trying to find out if it would do any damage.
