need quick help with a medical question!

hey all.....just a quick question regarding taking back smoke...ok so i tend to take back a toke on a joint and keep it in my lungs for as long as i can :rastasmoke: it has always been my thinkin that the longer you keep it in your lungs the more you absorb the quicker you get baked....however a friend of mine said not to do this as it doesnt help to get you higher quicker but simply increases the amount of tar and other waste to settle in your lungs....just wonderin whos right and if keeping it in my lungs for as long as i can does really help things along

don't overtoke...little sippi hits work better....:stoned:

lol ill giv that ago but in my eyes you can neva over toke lol....u dont happen to know about weda or not keeping it in your lungs or cooking it as ive come to know it as a) gets you any more baked then just taking it bak then breathin it out a second later or b) if cookin it gets more shit in your lungs and ach dus more harm then gud?

Over 30 yrs ago I was taught the 20 second rule. I don't hold it any longer than that.

MM

i never dont really get stone faster f i hold the smoke in but if you take many short pulls very fast its lethal..at least it works with me...

im not quite sure why but ive just been out n tryd that short sharp toke method and it defo dus seem to have a much more potent effect..i worder y that is any thoughts?? :/

As far as I know, your friend is right. I've heard that about three seconds is all the time it takes for the active substances to get absorbed and after that the risk is greater than the benefit. I don't have a source to cite tho.

In terms of you getting higher with sipping breaths, this is completely unfounded, but maybe additional oxygen helps the substances absorb more effectively? if you're holding your breath you might get slightly hypoxic and hinder absorption. Scientists?
