It really depends. if im by myself i dont really hold it in too long, but with like 3 or 4 friends i hold it in for like 10secs or so. depends on the hit also.

ok, here we go; im bout to time one....
22 seconds!
Holding it it for more then 5 seconds is just oxygen deprivation, it doesn't get you higher. Like it was posted 95% of the thc is absorbed within 3-5 seconds. I always hold it for 5 seconds, personally.
After 7 seconds you're just holdin' your breath, but maybe oxygen deprivation might help enhance the high somehow. It might be fun to smoke and use O2 at the same time.....hmmmm....I'll get back on this one.
It's a myth that holding a hit gets you higher. If it "does" theres two simple explanations:
1] Oxygen Depravation, which is not a good thing.
2] Simply, placebo.
As Rogue said, 95% of THC and active cannabinoids are absorbed by the lungs instantly. A natural breath is about 3 seconds, so this is all you have to hold it in for.
Also, holding hits in just coats your lungs in tar, and it's far more unhealthy for you than blowing the hit out naturally.
Getting high of pure Oxygen is awsome.
Went to a fest in summer and they where doing O2 ballons, this mixed in with the hige of da the green, was fucking out of this world.
But when me and lads get together(usually about 12 of us), we hold the smoke until the spliff gets back 2 us.
truthfully i dont really take a hit and immediately start counting to see how long i hold my hits in...but i would guess somewhere around 5 seconds
Hmmm a lit spliff and oxygen?doesnt really seem that safe!
LOL!!...I believe you were experiencing NO2...Nitrous Oxide...I don't think its really good for your brain, I am pretty sure its considered an inhalent (never a good thing). And they really had that just out in the open at a festival? lol.Quote:
