Hold those hits in!

[Oneironaut]

Well, I've been noticing lately that I haven't been getting as high as I should be considering the quality and quantity of the weed I'm smoking. Yesterday I found out the problem. I had a long shift at work, so I brought a little bowl and some weed with me. There's one bathroom at work you can only get into if you put a butterknife in the keyhole, so I went in there to smoke. There was a smoke detector, so I decided I would hold my hits in until I didn't breathe out any smoke, and I would only take little hits so I wouldn't cough. I took three little hits in there, and when I got back to work I was feeling niiiiiiiiice. The fact that I held each hit in for a good 30-45 seconds must have been the key factor here. You don't need to hold your hits in that long, but don't just breathe them out 5 seconds later like most people I smoke with. Hold them in, and you will get a lot more bang for your buck.

[BUZz UK]

It's also a lot worse for you. However, I've been having a similar problem to you, so I'll try it out and report back...

[deadfan420]

Yeah I try to hold my hits in for as long as I can without coughing. It seems the lower I run on my weed stash the longer I hold in my hits. Just trying to savor it.

[BUZz UK]

Ok, i wasted that one a little, but i do feel higher...

I'll have ot have another :stoned:

[goonin out]

i think i've gotten into the habit of swallowing once or twice when i hit- it helps me hold it in longer.

[BUZz UK]

nope, second thoughts, i'm caned...

[Mountaindewzilla]

The swallowing thing helps a lot. I also leave some lung capacity and inhale more after holding it for a bit.

On monster hits (gravity bong or whatever) sometimes I will drink something while I hold my breath... it helps ALOT on cached monster pipes and shit.

Orange Juice is pimp as shit :jointsmile:

Off topic: Those ice cream Tid-bits things are like glaciers when I am high. They kick ass.

[KingsBlend420]

Yea I swallow every time I take a hit and then hit it again and then hold it for like 6-12 seconds. Works weelllll.

[Maggz]

I always hold them in for a minimum of 15 seconds. Sometimes I hold in hits for a minute straight..usually when I'm using the vape. I always hold in my hits, bongs, pipes, joints, blunts OR vapes.

[cannabis campbell]

Ill try it lol, but i would hate to do doing that far years imagine the state of your lungs hmmmm

[Jesta]

IS THAT WHAT MY LUNGS LOOK LIKE FROM WEED???

[goonin out]

weed irritates your lungs and passageways but it doesn't completely fuck em up like that

[Mountaindewzilla]

Hopefully law will change and good control studies will be conducted :D

[Jesta]

weed irritates your lungs and passageways but it doesn't completely fuck em up like that

That's good to know, but smoking bud still causes tar to build up on your lungs.

[sam44]

yea but most people dont smoke weed nearly as often as you would cigs

[goonin out]

really? i never heard of that. i'm sure its very small traces to the point where you probably shouldn't even worry about it. i'm real amped up on the fact that there shouldn't be any additives in my bud and i hate when its compared to smoking ciggs apart from always using rolling papers and blunts which are the only links i can figure out between weed and any other harmful man-made unnatural substance i guess. there's no wrong way to smoke though of course :stoned:

besides, when you swallow it usually goes straight down into your stomach

[fifka101]

that doesnt work since almost 99% of THC is absorbed in 5 seconds.

DUDE, it must be contagious this time of year! Yesterday, i went to my gf's rocky horror practice and i smoked out of her little bowl outside, but this time i held in the smoke when people exited the building, and i was feeling very nice when i sat back down inside. Holding it in makes a world of difference!

[orangeman]

Now you are suppose to hold your hits in at least longer than 3 seconds regardless to what anything says I know the longer you hold it in the higher you get. If 1-2 or 1-3 seconds works for some one else good, but I know exactly how high I like to be and for some reason that doesn't do it for me... That's one thing they have tried to prove that I just cannot agree with, 5-8 seconds is good, works great. I swear to GOD I hate when some one says "Yeah but guess what! 99.9% (ZOMG) of the THC is almost instantly absorbed within 3 seconds the exact second it enters your lungs!!!" lol like are you really looking at your lungs to be able to tell? How the hell do you really know that? But anyways 30 seconds is way too long lol.

Also Cannabis Campbell that's a funny picture haha.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

From information I read (which I believe to be a reliable source upon reading, don't know where though), THC is absorbed instantly in the lungs.
In my opinion whether you hold it for a few seconds or a minuet, the effect from the cannabis will be the same. Its other tings that make you feel 'higher', like oxygen deprivation and such.

So the very second you take a hit you blow it back out lol?

[YouAintKnow]

Yeah its called a ghost hit.

[pixel]

i used to spew out the same rhetoric as the ppl above, and then finally i started thinking on my own and tested this out myself

i have to be honest, i got legitamately higher for longer when i held in hits for 7 seconds than when i held them in for 3. i did it over 2 weeks, half a week was 3 seconds and half was 7 both times. i got much higher holding for 7

"99.9% of thc is absorbed instantly" - this is damn near impossible for just about ANY vapor in the world.

[Divestoned]

back in the day I heard it took 13 seconds to absorb thc in the lungs.

Dive:stoned:

[MacWQ33]

This is such an ongoing debate...yet still no 100% clear cut answer.

When I first started smoking, it was a 'fact' that holding it in longer got you 'higher'. I never even heard about the '99% instantly/3-5 seconds' until I came here. I have still yet to see any facts or scientific evidence to prove this, but I have seen many people on here say it...I don't get it...where did this come from LOL?!?

It's hard to say what the truth is really...I usually do 3-5 seconds if I have weed to go around, but if I only have like a bowl, I might do 5-8 just to 'make sure' I get high. I would never hold a blunt hit in for more than a few seconds though.

Anyway, in my opinion, instantaneous absorption is a little far fetched, but 3-5 seems to make more sense.

THANK YOU! I also did a similar test, that's why I came up with the conclusion that that THC absorbed instantly thing was just bull shit.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

So the very second you take a hit you blow it back out lol?

long enough to make sure all the smoke is in my lungs, a few seconds. Its not like I count, but not longer than about 4 or 5 seconds from taking my mouth from the bong.

[JaMakin07]

strange thing, i felt the same way a few days ago, i was smoking a pretty decent amount and not really getting as high as i thought i should, the next day i decided to hold in the hits as long as i could, using the same pipe and same amount of weed and i was definitely 10 times higher , i keep that shit about "blah balh instant obsorb blah blah" but now i hold in all my hits super long and i get super high HOLD YOUR HITSS!!!

[Rutherford The Brave]

I only hold them in a few times each session, like the last few hits usually if im smoking a lot (joints or blunts or something), and like the last 2 hits in a bong session, jsut because it fucks up my lungs otherwise. i cant box as good when i hold hits in real long, it leaves my shit fucked up for like a day, just coughin and shit... I smoke the kind of bud that has people coughin and i dont cough anymore because of the amount of resin already in my lungs, but when i just smoke normally it doesnt impair my lung capacity or give me a cough, when i hold in lots or all of my hits it just kills my lungs esp. on bong rips, you will cough so fucking hard it will blow you away if you hold hits off of a big bong in too long haha it just fills your lungs up so much...

[LegalizeTheGreen]

I am sure that you can scrape more high for your weed with longer hits, but think about it, is it really a good thing to get in the habit of not only holding your breath, but to combine it with breathing in carbon monoxide (it replaces the O2 you breathe in) and carbon dioxide for a 10-15 smoke session? it just seems like the negatives outweigh the positives in terms of air deprevation, but i guess if you dont really care about health, and just want to get high, go for it.

for me, i hold the hits as long as they are comfortable, which is usually 3-5 seconds max.

[JaMakin07]

rutherford is right, try holding your breath after hitting a roor

[The Hippie]

I find following this method gives good results when the chronic is under par. Take your nice smooth hit. Don't hoot it back quick, but don't drag it on forever, let it brew nicely. Once you have a full nice hit, take a quick suck in of air, almost like a tiny joint puff just to clear any last bit of smoke out of your mouth. Hold it comfortably. I find holding it until the piece is passed off to the next person is plenty, don't over-do it so your next breaths are gasps. 10 seconds I would say is a good ballpark. Then simply exhale at will.

Happy smoking and remember, make sure theres a lighter before packing a bowl.
~Bryan~

[AsianStoner420]

Based on my research he did a "Ghost Hit". But in my opinion he's trying to choke himself to death in the bathroom.

[rexx66]

wouldn't a vaporizer be a good way to end this, it doesn't give off carcinogens so you can hold that hit as long as you want.:stoned:

[Its a Plant]

Actually holding it in or not doesn't matter. You get just as high. What ever you feel from holding it in can be chalked up to the oxygen deprivation lol...

Honestly, it takes 1-2 seconds for something like 92% of all THC to be absorbed into the lungs..all that's needed is a simple inhale, pause, exhale...

Holding it in any longer means your only harming yourself with all the carcinogens you're SUPPOSED to exhale after a couple seconds.

True story! :jointsmile:

[NightProwler]

as your blowing out, breathe back in before the smoke leaves your mouth. repeat that like 3 times. the re-enterance of the smoke helps.

or you can blow your hits into a bag/ baloon. but dont let the hit sit for too long cuz it gets nasty

[4twentE]

I could see holding it in for a few seconds, but trying to turn your face blue is a bit much. But thanks for the reminder. I should get back into the habit, or at least try it.

[Oneironaut]

I definitely don't think what I felt was oxygen deprivation. Oxygen deprivation doesn't give you cottonmouth and the munchies like that. People keep saying the lungs are extremely efficient at absorbing THC out of all the chemicals in cannabis smoke, but I just don't see any good evidence for that. Does anybody have any proof? I must say I'm rather skeptical that virtually all the THC can be absorbed by the lung tissue that quickly.

True story! :jointsmile:

but these carcinogens aren't cancerous...so I'd rather hold it in and feel MUCH higher than I would if I only held it in for a few seconds, plus then I wouldn't cough, and if you don't cough you don't get off..

...I DO get higher if I hold it in longer, plain and simple.

[TallCoolOne]

stopping exhalation also helps. Like clossing yer mouth too early as the smoke is trying to get out.

[thNk.m0rbid]

yeah im with "Its a Plant"... well this thread is dumb.. no one has a true answer.. i honestly think that the whole holding your smoke in for longer then 5 seconds gets you higher is total bullshit too lmao.. it's more then likely you not getting enough oxygen so you feel "more higher".. that's all, not cause THC is flyin around in your lungs for 30 seconds not knowing where to go magically, so you gotta hold your hits in longer to get the THC to absorb?? umm no?? :wtf:

lol, what makes this thread dumb if noone has a true answer?? I have anecdotal proof from the 7 years that I've been smoking pot that it indeed does intoxicate me more if I hold the hit in, that's enough for myself..and there's also several others who have concluded the same thing...so no, it's not bullshit, pal..

This is what I was talking about...it's said time and time and time again...and it's not that I don't believe it, it sounds like something that could be accurate, but I've still yet to see anyone provide even a link to this information. I've
tried searching and have come up with nothing science-based...just more people stating it...which doesn't say much IMO.

I'm so confused as to where this "fact" came from. It's funny though...it's always a different percentage that someone says...85.3%, 92%, 95%, 99%, 99.9%...and absorption rate...instantly, 1-2 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds.

Did everyone that has heard this hear it from this site? Outside sources? I've never heard anything outside of this site, so I dunno, maybe one person just said it, and some people followed and some didn't? Just trying to get to the bottom of it.

I want the truth and nothing but the truth! LOL!

umm no.. or you "feel" like you're getting higher cause the lack of oxygen mixed with smoking weed? you don't kno for sure why you're getting "higher"..

[Markass]

umm no.. or you "feel" like you're getting higher cause the lack of oxygen mixed with smoking weed? you don't kno for sure why you're getting "higher"..

after a few minutes the 'lack of oxygen' is going to be gone because you've been breathing more clean air than smoke? yeah pal, I can certainly tell the difference between a lightheaded feeling and being stoned :wtf:

I've distinctly established the difference in feeling for my own self between, simply inhaling and exhaling, and then holding it in for several seconds...you don't seem like your intelligence level is high enough to comprehend what I'm saying so I think I'll stop trying to explain it to you now..:thumbsup:

yeah inhaling.. then exhaling.. and holding it in for several seconds.. still could be from no oxygen to the brain just making you seem higher when you really aren't.. you aren't a scientist.. just some person who smokes weed with still no proof you're actually getting "higher".. yeah you probably do get higher from holding in the smoke so every.. little.. bit.. of THC gets absorbed in the lungs.. but not THAT much of a difference will even happen.. nothing noticable like OMG I HELD THE SMOKE IN MY LUNGS FOR 10 more seconds.. IM BLAZED.. umm no?.. still no proof on the whole "99 percent of the THC absorbs in the lungs within 3 seconds".. but what if there actually IS proof that, that is true? which i think there is logical proof somewhere about it.. i don't think some kid just randomly made that up for the fun of it, if that's true then you're totally wrong.. iunno, no one even knows at this point..

[TheGreenReefer]

damn dude im always holding my hits in.. i have noticed that on my first blaze of the day(always the best hellz ya) that i can just take maybe a rip or two.. at the most. and be just as high, also without ruining your other smoke sessions. well just hold that in till you feel your eyes gettin all high then blow it out. Also if you swallow while holding your hit in you will take some from your lungs and put it in your stomach, not a good thing to go. i sometimes burp up smoke when i do that

[Nick Hooper]

@greenreefer:

Could you elaborate on why having smoke in your stomach would be bad? I don't see the harm... i don't see why it would be good or bad, really. Your stomach might be able to take out some of the goodieness as well for all i know, lol.

[TheGreenReefer]

oh well i didnt mean its like bad for you but i was thinking taking the smoke out of your lungs makes you not as high... like i have seen kids who are trying to be cool or w/ever but they still dont want to smoke so they take a hit and swallow it so it looks like they are smoking. its just annoying to me i wish they just wouldnt smoke so i could get more haha shit

[Its a Plant]

but these carcinogens aren't cancerous...
LOL..uhhhh dude...carcinogens actually MEANS cancerous...that it promotes the development of...dun dun dunnnn..CANCER. :thumbsup: So yes, holding those in gives them time to be absorbed in your lungs and actually harming you down the road.

And mac, I KNOW I've seen some actual proof of this otherwise I myself wouldn't have believed it. I'll try and find it if I remember, but I'm pretty sure Beachguyinthongs is the one who provided the link.

As for all you holders...lol, well, you all sure can convince yourselves you're just as high when the truth is REALLY out there. :jointsmile:

[cannabis campbell]

Certainly is..

[Its a Plant]

Lol yeahh...see all that dark smoke? That's all the carcinogens you people are inhaling. :jointsmile:

[BobBong]

Mmmmm Carcinogens

[pixel]

here's a fascinating question, why do you care if someone holds their breath for longer? it's their lungs, let them do what they want with it. no reason to get preachy.

and by the way, i've been searching around the internet for awhile now looking for "proof", and all i've found is forum posts. still waiting on that proof..

[Buddha Man]

shyyt i love when u hold hits and they dont come out hahaha i dont think it very healthy doe

[Markass]

LOL..uhhhh dude...carcinogens actually MEANS cancerous...that it promotes the development of...dun dun dunnnn..CANCER. :thumbsup: So yes, holding those in gives them time to be absorbed in your lungs and actually harming you down the road.

Those who smoke marijuana have no higher risk of developing lung cancer than one who smokes nothing at all...so says a population study that I've read in the past, indeed that's what carcinogen means but thousands of people don't die from lung cancer from pot every year as do those who smoke cigarettes..strange

[suhl]

holding your hits in isnt going to get you higher. it will feel different, in the same manner you feel slightly different if you hold your breath for 20 seconds compared to breathing normally. there are carcinegons, and it that means technically they can cause cancer. it never has though. coffee also has carcinegons as well as many other things you come in contact with on a daily basis. however, holding your hits in is going to make you get a smokers cough pretty quick. basically i dont think it is severely bad for you and will guarentee it wont give you cancer, but it has been scientifically proven that it doesnt get any more thc into you and therefore doesnt get you any higher, so stop being like well fuck all that i know it. it is called being light headed you nimrods.

[Juggalo k00kie]

I always hold them in for a minimum of 15 seconds. Sometimes I hold in hits for a minute straight..usually when I'm using the vape. I always hold in my hits, bongs, pipes, joints, blunts OR vapes.

La Coka Nostra is the shit, i love Ill Bill, Necro's wack though

back on the subject, i hold my hits for about 5 seconds, which a friend told me is how long it takes to absorb most of the THC, holding it any longer only makes you feel higher 'cause of oxygen deprivation

[SantaClawz]

You can get high without weed, just take in a deep breathe and hold it for 30 seconds, exhale quickly, rinse and repeat. You will feel light headed, and im a firm beliver that, that is the sensation that your are feeling to think you are higher then from just enhaling.

And for me, swallowing gives me heart burn >_<

[horror business]

I simply inhale, take a gasp of breath, and slowly exhale, while sometimes re-inhaling or french-inhaling to get the smoke that I breathed out.

A point to consider, that no one has brought up yet, is if all the THC gets absorbed within the first few seconds or whatever, then how does a person receiving a shot gun from another person get high?

[HighTillIDie]

that doesnt work since almost 99% of THC is absorbed in 5 seconds.

thank you, i am glad i'm not the only enlightened one... the cannabinoids and thc get absorbed almost instantly... you are actually getting higher off of the lack of oxygen... like a hypervenilating hit...

[HighTillIDie]

lol because on a real shotgun the other person does nothing but blow unsmoked smoke through the blunt or joint... like an assisted inhale... but noone of the smoke should be going into the blowers mouth...

do you know how to really shotgun?

[horror business]

I don't use such remedial techniques to get high, since I'm a daily smoker, always smoking high quality marijuana. I know that a real shot gun is blowing unsmoked smoke through the blunt or joint.

I'm talking about the (in my opinion) fools where one person takes a hit, and then exhales into the other persons mouth. It gets them high. That's the point I wanted people to consider. Don't question my knowledge.

it doesn't get you high... try it

usually the people are already high, or will continue to smoke normally... i figured this out through research when i was twelve man, i used to have a girly friend that loved to do this to me... i never got my weed satisfaction ;)

and please don't get so defensive... i am sure you are far to advanced for shotgunning, and your weed too good

that being said i shotgunned a very attractive young lady last night, and i would again in a heartbeat

[propolys]

I think I remember reading on Erowid that 99% of the THC is absorbed within the first three seconds, though I could be very wrong.

Personally, I think that this cannabis-community-fact is relatively accurate. Holding in your hits for longer than 15 seconds will probably just lead to black lungs and cancer.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

thank you, i am glad i'm not the only enlightened one...
This was pointed out on page one, then again on page 2. All by separate people.

[McLovin]

i hold it every hit to get as much out of it as possible. ill evaporate bud hookah hits by holding my breath til i start getting dizzy..now THATS a trip.

[Juggalo k00kie]

holding hits isn't smart... i want to keep my lungs alive as long as i can, even if it helps just a little

[melodious fellow]

i often hold it in for at least 30 if not a min.... that way i can smoke anywhere and never breathe out any smoke... just take small hits

[coledog855]

Anyone find it kinda ironic that in one of the greatest drug movies ever, there was a scene where barbie inhales, then "shotguns" into boston george's mouth? It doesn't get anyone high, so I guess that kinda shows that the producers don't know all that much about drugs.

I'm talking about Blow, btw

[ScaryMissMary]

I always hold my hits in for about 5 seconds. Im gonna try the 7 seconds thing a little later tonight. My dumbass ex would take a hit and blow it right back out. He never wanted to hold it in cause "it burned."

Hahah! wow you could hold yur smoke longer than him? That must've been embarrassing on his part haha. It doesn't even burn my chest anymore..still cough like a dog with the waterfall but other than that it never burns.

[swanman8907]

I always take a small inhale at the end of a hit and slowly blow the smoke out and I've never had trouble getting high. I see no point in holding the smoke any longer if it's obviously unnecessary, for me at least.

[chuckin deuces]

while it may only take 5 seconds to absorb thc(something I've never heard of and would like referenced) through the lungs, just like with nicotine, thc's affects are amplified due to a lack of oxygen reaching the brain. If you hold in the smoke until you breathe clear, you've not only gotten all the thc out of the hit but you've cut off oxygen to your brain and replaced it with thc for 10 seconds or more. I love playing one hit chicago on the last quarter of a blunt, especially with 3 or more heads. Trying to hold that smoke in while the blunt goes through row is hard! But when you leave the bake you feel like a new man :stoned:

[roffelmeh]

try ghostin a gravity bong hit, lol

[chuckin deuces]

you guys never played one hit chicago? gg try in out man you'll get caked, especially if your in a small confined space (CLAM BAKE!). I remember at a party a couple weeks ago me and like 5 dudes all threw 5 and stuffed into this dude's jeep. we blew 5 nice boys in this dudes car and we all agreed that if you asked to put the windows down you had to drop out all together. i was cheeked all night, drank some brew didnt even get drunk, just stayed high lol.

+ THC isn't the only thing in weed....

Maybe holding longer helps more CBD/CBN to be absorbed.

I have a volcano though so I can cheat - breath in... hold...
>> and then breath out into the bag

Rinse and repeat - no smoke just some CO2 and water - I can usally breath a bag about 2.5 - 3 times - with a Volcano this will seriously fuck you up.

Recycle - the possibilities are endless ;)

you can use a plastic bag or the neck of your shirt to do that. a fitted cap works good too.

omg i want a volcano but they're so expensive! does anyone here have a vaporizer pipe?

yea if you hold it in then you get more CBD, which is antipsychotic and thats alwaysgood
