I've searched for this and have yet to find a straightforward answer and evidence to back it up.
Is THC absorbed in the first 5-7 seconds of inhaling or is this a myth? If it is true, why would shotgunning and hotboxing work?
In my experience, I feel it is a myth, however, since so many believe it, I feel as though you know something that I don't. Please Explain. :)
its true the thc is absorbed almost instantly, if you want me to find the daily factoid i will
the reason you feel a slight extra buzz from shot gunning and hot boxing is, not entirely, but mostly oxygen deprivation
Daily Factoid: Donā??t hold your breath. The fat-soluble THC-9 is absorbed by the lungs almost instantly. Exhaling immediately after inhalation expels most of the carcinogenic compounds.

I dont really think about holding it in i just inhale and exhale normally like breathing or the same as i would smoke a cig
but some people say you get more stoned the longer you hold it in...
which is bullshit
I disagree, my experience is that if you hold in your hits, you do in fact get higher. I've smoked by breathing normally, and i've smoked by holding my hits in for about 15 seconds. I got much higher on the Latter, and surely I know the differents between oxygen deprivation and being high. I have been smoking for over 10 years.
Also, that theory does not explain why the age old activity of hotboxing in your car gets somebody who isn't smoking high. Or how shotgunning a hit to somebody who isn't smoking gets them high aswell. Surely oxygen deprivation doesn't last 3 hours and gives you the munchies.
Daily factoid isn't going to do it for me, there are plenty of myths about smoking marijuana that many believe is true.
Yes, but as its already been explained, its not through your lungs absorbing more THC, its the fact your depriving yourself of oxygen, nothing else.
But hey, 15 seconds? I wonder how much tar you have on your lungs... to be perfectly honest i wonder how much longer your lungs will work buddy...
your life... your death
Enjoy it
Oh well we're all going to get lung cancer anyway lol
Ahhhha. No, were not. It's been proven that the smoke from cannabis doesnt cause cancer. It actually help to prevent it by controlling cell division.
Then again, i smoke cigs, as do alot of other people, so yeah, i guess we will all die eventually, but i'd rather not die from a lung full of tar ;)
Lmao yeah i put tobacco into my joints anyway i have to
So your saying if i just smoke weed i wont get lung cancer Lip?
