Myth or True, Holding Cannabis smoke in before exhaling?

So i was into an argument with this fellow in my JavaScript class, and he says that holding cannabis smoke in before exhaling has no effect, and that really your just killing yourself by holding your breath. Hence preventing Oxygen from going to your brain. I suppose this could be true but i feel like an extra few seconds makes a difference. Even though THC is instantly absorbed as soon as you take the toke, hence the heat. I still think holding it in may get you that extra bit left? I have been smoking for almost 7 years and I have found it seems to help.(he claims this is from lightness of the head, even though most only hold for a few seconds) I would like to know what you people think though?:stoned:

it defenetly mAKES a difference, specially if you hold it for 2 long and start coughing aLOT, thats like !!!BAM!!!



PS. all ya people who download songs through the internet, download THE CLASH- POLICE AND THIEVES listen to it really high and enjoy it as much as I am right now!!!



peace

It does make a difference, especially if you took a large hit, the smoke makes it's way down your lungs also you can inhale after you held it in for like 3 seconds or you could just let it flow out slow and then inhale some back in.

when i take a fat hit i cant hold it now cause i got my throat operated on like tonsils and adnoids, so it goes through my nose and burns if i hold it in through my both
HAA

I hate to say this, because your all gunner have ago at me, but your all wrong!

THC is the phycoactive compound in cannabis, and is absorbed almost instantly by the lung lining.

Holding it only covers your lungs with the tar, and if you dont hold it in you can almost completly exhale all of the carcenogens (sp?)

THe reason you feel more stoned is because it makes you cough, and as you cough the avioli dialate, which actually doesnt make you higher, just you get higher quiker.

SEriously, dont hold it in unless you want serious health re-procussions...

I think this has been on the home page as a daily factoid too...

I know i am right, no matter what any of you say, because a good friend of mine is lab tech and hes one of the people who have been studying cannabis for the government in England so they can decide where to place cannabis on the class list....

Well I had nothing to support my statement I just felt like holding it in got me higher quicker but I'll take your word on this one.

Whats the best amount of time to hold it in for? I always feel like I waste it when I exhale immediately, like it didn't even get fully in my lungs yet. Like those hits where you open your mouth right after and slowly exhale.

So what your just sposed to inhale like a cig where you just inhale and then exhale no holding in?

i thought it was ideal to take a big hit then just inhale a little normal air, then hold all that for about 3-4 seconds, then exhale.
