How long should you hold in the smoke?

[DeMetto]

I've heard many things like all the THC is absorbed after 5 - 8 seconds.

Personally I like to hold it in as long as I can but I find myself smoking alone alot more than I used to and I get mad as I watch my joint slowly burn away as I'm holding in.

When i dont hold it in long i get a shitty high and it doesn't last long or, get this, ill forget im high! i always hold it in for about 5-10 seconds and i get a nice not-in-this-world high and i LOVEEEE ITTT! :stoned:

if i don't hold in for more than 5 secs, i don't get high for the first few minutes but then it hits me all of a sudden and it lasts about the same time

[so out of it]

i just never completely let out all the smoke i just take the rip, inhale really fast, get ready to next rip, make some room by puffing, then take another rip and repeat until bowl or jay is caput.

[so out of it]

oh yeah then when its done you already feel high and let out a huuuuge cloud

[t3h stonerer]

my friends always ghost their hits. i think it's kinda pointless. i just hold mine in for about 5-8 seconds.

Well I usually hold in for about at least 5 seconds if I can. But I know what you mean watching it burn away, sometimes I find I don't hold in as long as I should, but I figure since its just me, I can get more weed smoke and THC then if I was with others and they have the joint.

jus try an sniff up the smoke comin off the end of ur joint, jus dont take a full hit in ur lungs so u got breath, and no smoke is wasted, either that or dont smoke hooters, go make a bong or cone then if u want hold it in as long as ya want, jus need to light and smoke, im fuckin ripped, laters

[sMOkeY bOB]

i bean smokin for ages so i dont even really try and hold it in still get stoned of ur nut!!!!! :stoned:

I usually hold mine in as long as possible. I've always loved takin' a rip..hold..exhale..instead of taking in some fresh air after hit, take another one. So I'm just breathing it as well as smoking it..*wink wink* I used to do this all tha time, I remember at one point I blew out the smoke I had and maybe 10 seconds later I was coughing my ass off. Someone said "whatsa matter? Virgin lungs?" I just replied, " If you mean I have virgin lungs when it comes to breathing oxygen...yes. Im not used to breathing it too often. No dumbass, of course I have virgin lungs...you've only known me to smoke pot for oh...7 years now!! Geez..."

If you really don't wanna see it burn then make a parashoot. They are wicked. One of my fav ways to smoke weed, and man does it get you fucked.

[mightymarijuanabuds]

all the THC is absorbed in 10 sec or less, exhaled smoke contains no thc.. so yes 'ghost' or shotgun, ot whatever ya wanna call it hits are pointless

holding it for longer doesnt do anything but give you a headrush from oxygen deprivation and perhaps a placebo effect :D
