Hold your hit in or not?

[Markass]

I've read that you get higher if you do, and I've read that the THC is absorbed instantly and it's pointless to hold your hit in? Anyone know which is the most beneficial to do?

[JDiz]

dude, there's so many people on both sides, here's what you do: Take a bag and smoke two different times but same amounts. First time smoke it like you would a cigarette, then next time hold that shit in as long as you can. If there's no effect for you, then why bother.
Personally I hold them in as long as I can, because for me I feel the effects more. My buddy absolutely hates smoking and for him holding the hit in does nothing for him. So really just try for yourself bro! Happy smokin! :)

I hold it in not till I turn red but I hould it in

[shoi]

dont need to hold just need to make sure u get it all in to ur lungs, i always take a breath after the hit to pull it all in then breath out right away

The THC is abosrbed almost instantly, and a normal breath is about 3 seconds, so by the time you breathe out naturally it'll all be absorbed. Holding it in allowes the tar in the smoke to stick to the lining on your lung, making you cough, and making it harder for the THC to be absorbed.

FYI a well rolled joint has the highest THC transfer rate as far as i know, so smoke joints.

Well, what really made me ask is because I read that you basically harm your lungs more than you have to by holding it in, and you've replied with exactly I wanted to know..thanks.

[myselfandi]

I prefer to not hold it in

[sheist]

i believe holding it in feels more effect because holding it in means ur suffocating ur self (oxygen deprevation).. far as i kno 90% thc is absorbed instantly so the left oversmoke would be the impurities.. what ur feeling is probaby the impurities being absorbed combined with the suffocation..

I hold it in for like a second. Holding it in for long will do nothing. Inhaling deeper will though.

[NextLineIsMine]

as long as you dont exhale it before its all in your good, like buddah luvaz said I like to hold and choke on it if its a mammoth hit just for shits.

[Inferius]

you keep saying thc is absorbed instantly, but theres more to it than thc. How do you know other parts of the high don't take longer to absorb?

[orangeman]

I've read that you get higher if you do

No.

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

I hold it in for about 3-5 seconds. I just take deep breaths, give it a few secs, then blow out.

I don't go overboard and hold it in in an attempt to "get higher."

[krauser]

ehhh i hold it in a long freakin time so that i feel lightheaded anyway, lack of oxygen or whatever. even if it doesnt do anything i like to hold it in

I think you hit the nail on the head here

[YouD0nt]

I only sumtimes hold my hit in, like someone said before, its awesome ghosting a Hum0ng0 b0ng hit 0nce in a while :stoned:

[iluTaxina]

I usually hold it in a couple seconds.

[iwantmyownplace]

ditto..

[misk]

i always leave room for a breath after i pull a pipe, and i inhale deep, then exhale like 1/3 then inhale again, hold for a bit, then exhale

or if im really bored ill recirculate the air from my mouth to my nose, certainly gives me a nice headrush

but i smoke green, so no nasty tobacco in ther, i find i can hold the biggest cones i can pack with no dramas.

because THC is the chemical in the plant that gets you high.

[Zoosh]

3 seconds with a deep inhale.
Maybe taking one toke holding it in then taking a second then exhaling.

[darthvader1984]

I do both sometimes i hold it other times I don't

[Weasel]

i was told when you cough it opens up a spot on your throat and when you hit it the smoke goes directly in your system from passing over the raw spot on your throat. thus making you higher. Is this not ture????

[OniEhtRedrum781]

i like to hold my hit in regardless of whether or not u get more THC, it just gives me more piece of mind
