I hold my hits until I start to hear my brain cells explode. But that's just out of habit. I don't recommend it.

Trust Jack, holding your hits for excessive amounts of time is only oxygen deprivation providing a placebo effect.
About that absorption of 95% within the first few seconds, it sounds totally right to me too.
Still yet, that's absorption by Area, not Volume...
That's 95% of the smoke that has a chance to be absorbed in your lungs... Smoke hanging around within the middle space (volume) of your lungs won't get to come into contact with the lung surface (area) for long enough for all cannabinoids to be taken. But for the bit of smoke that touches the Area of your lungs, yeah, 95% of that much sounds right.
Big hits with a thick cloud of smoke are wasteful. Think of it like cutting the smoke with air for an efficient absorption ratio. So, take an average inhaled hit, hold it a few seconds, and blow it out. The "less is more" philosophy.
i agree with everyone here. i have some friends however that always get me to play what they call "baseball" where you have to hold in your hit til the pipe comes back around to you. i always thought it was geigh.
baseball, spff, i remember people doing that when i was a lot younger, i always said hell no, just blew my hit out and called them idiots
the less is more theory, i dunno, i don't believe in holding in the smoke forever, but something about a big ass bong rip gets me a lot higher, holding it for a second or two
No 30 seconds is plain stupid. 10 seconds is my limit when i hold it. But a lot of THC is absorbed pretty quick so holding it in just damages your lungs.
you hate it when people blow out thick smoke? that's weird, you hate weird things.
Holding it makes all the difference in the world about how high you get. I couldn't imagine holding it too long unless you're highly concerned about the adverse physiological effects. It's pretty normal for your lungs to feel kinda numb or tingly and wheezy after inhaling concentrated thick smoke. You'll be fine.

I never hold smoke in for too long.
However sometimes when I smoke with people they do. But if that's how they want to smoke it then thats their thing.
