Coughing gets you more high

I don't think it's true. I don't think you need to cough to get high, you need to inhale thc. If you cough in the process then so be it.

Your brain associates 1 and 2 and thinks that if you cough you get very high, even if you cough for another reason. And getting high is a lot mental. If you think you're gonna get destroyed, you'll get higher.

Agree 100%. Usually when you take monster hits, you cough. Usually when you take monster hits, you get very high. Your brain correlates it to thinking you get higher.

Also you don't get as much oxygen which might get you light headed.

yup it does work, its all about pressure of blood. when coughing, ur blood is going up to ur brain.

haha whenever i cough really hard it seems to kill my buzz alot

I try my hardest to never cough

I impulsively reject the placebo effect, so I don't believe in that "if you cough you get higher", because I don't see the logic behind it.
I believe as long as the smoke has gone in your lungs, there's THC somewhere in you and you're higher than a sober person is.

you dont have to see logic behind a placebo. If someone THINKS they are gonna get higher because of the fact that they just died coughing thats all they need, and we all know thoughts aren't always logical :-p.

Im gonna have to go with no as well.

It's not rocket science, when you cough(especially after you've been smoking a while, or even better, on a daily basis) it means you took a hugeee ass hit.

Huge ass hits = Being very high

Well a lot of ppl I've talked to about this subject say it is actually due to the physicality of your body. They say that when you cough, you open up unexposed parts of your lungs--those unexposed, and probably healthier, parts of your lungs will absorb any smoke or THC that has as of yet been unabsorbed, and will, in essence, get you higher.
