the age old qustion?

how long should you hold in your smoke...does it matter:jointsmile:

5 sec

2-5 seconds. THC is absorbed almost instantly, and holding your smoke in is just adding extra tar and carcinogens to your lungs. I'd advise releasing about 2-3 seconds, as you'll get about 80-90% of the good stuff in that time. If you hold a good 5-6 seconds, you'll get that tiny extra bit but at the expense of your lung's health. Some people will tell you they get more stoned holding it in as long as possible, but that's just because they get a head rush from the lack of oxygen (which really isn't good for you). And that headrush only lasts a couple minuets anyway.

hey thanks for the repsonse....gandalf....would love to toke one up with you....have a great weekend....:jointsmile:

all of the studys done about that are accurate if you're smoking low potency cannabis, scientific test on cannabis cannot by law use high grade stuff, that works if your smoking mid grade but if its good shit, to maximize thc intake you do have to hold it longer.

as long as you can:jointsmile:
