You would have to refrain from having your turn to find that out.
Everybody takes a big hit but the lungs can only absorb so much at once, then the rest is exhaled.
people die from second hand cigerette smoke. Proven fact. point that out to your doctor friend

Whats left over in the second hand smoke is what matters though. Yes people die from secound hand cig. smoke all the time but thats because the shit that's in it now how much THC i left in a hit after exhaling it is a different story all together. :smokin:

There is only so much THC that your body can absorb when you inhale a hit, a large portion gets exhaled in your smoke so why couldnt somoene else breathe that in and get buzzed?

Any feed back.....I need the money....but above all I need the truth (LOL)

unfortunately you are wrong, thc is absorbed by the lungs almost instantly upon inhalation, everything exhaled is mostly tar

If second hand smoke doesn't get people high, why does it get my dog high...?

Second had cig smoke does not kill. That is as false as any marijuana propaganda you've heard. The internet has plenty of info on how these stats are skewed. Don't get me wrong....I know smoking is bad...and annoying for those that don't.

As far as the topic at hand. Well, here's how I see it. The answer is both a yes and a no. I know for a FACT that directly inhaling someones exhale "can" get you high. It's all in how much the person has absorbed. Sure, someone mentioned that THC is absorbed right away...BUT, it is possible to have a high enough volume in your lungs that a portion of smoke is not absorbed. Haven't you ever taken a big hit and when you blow out the smoke is still thick? That's the type of hit you can blow into another person and they will feel it. Sometimes if I take too big a hit I'll kick a little out and breathe in again to break up the smoke inside. Much better than choking out the whole thing. So, my opinion is that it is totally possible to exhale at least some THC.

As far as a concert goes, I agree with the doc...only because of the volume of fresh air around you. But if you're a few people in a car or tent you most certainly can get a second hand high.

The bottom line is if you take in a hit the only way you can absorb all the THC is if every particle of smoke touches the surface inside your lungs...and that is just not likely unless you take tiny hits and hold it in a long time.

Oh yeah, one more thing. A "shotgun" in my neck of the woods is when you take the wrong end of a lit joint or blunt into your mouth and blow....the other end is in the recipients mouth and they inhale. That shit gets you really fucked up!! Akin to gravity bong hits IMO.

as far as im awear the thc burns at a verry low temprature maybe thats why we get allot more stoned of bongs because the thc is cooled in the water so less burns away before it reaches ya lungs :) ive never got stoned of hotboxing a small room once again as far as i know the only thing your feeling is lack of oxygen.

i have to agree with u on this one:thumbsup:

hey i got a idea......

why dont you get your doc. friend and stick him in a car with you and like 5 other bud smokers you know and just blaze hard with him in the car and let him answer it for himself....

my opinion is this.... your body can only absorb so much smoke (thc-9, etc.) in a single toke, the rest is exhaled.....
it wouldnt be but a fraction as potent....
but it WOULD get someone a buzz
