Hold those hits in!

yeah im with "Its a Plant"... well this thread is dumb.. no one has a true answer.. i honestly think that the whole holding your smoke in for longer then 5 seconds gets you higher is total bullshit too lmao.. it's more then likely you not getting enough oxygen so you feel "more higher".. that's all, not cause THC is flyin around in your lungs for 30 seconds not knowing where to go magically, so you gotta hold your hits in longer to get the THC to absorb?? umm no?? :wtf:

lol, what makes this thread dumb if noone has a true answer?? I have anecdotal proof from the 7 years that I've been smoking pot that it indeed does intoxicate me more if I hold the hit in, that's enough for myself..and there's also several others who have concluded the same thing...so no, it's not bullshit, pal..

Honestly, it takes 1-2 seconds for something like 92% of all THC to be absorbed into the lungs..all that's needed is a simple inhale, pause, exhale...

Holding it in any longer means your only harming yourself with all the carcinogens you're SUPPOSED to exhale after a couple seconds.

True story! :jointsmile:

This is what I was talking about...it's said time and time and time again...and it's not that I don't believe it, it sounds like something that could be accurate, but I've still yet to see anyone provide even a link to this information. I've
tried searching and have come up with nothing science-based...just more people stating it...which doesn't say much IMO.

I'm so confused as to where this "fact" came from. It's funny though...it's always a different percentage that someone says...85.3%, 92%, 95%, 99%, 99.9%...and absorption rate...instantly, 1-2 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds.

Did everyone that has heard this hear it from this site? Outside sources? I've never heard anything outside of this site, so I dunno, maybe one person just said it, and some people followed and some didn't? Just trying to get to the bottom of it.

I want the truth and nothing but the truth! LOL!

umm no.. or you "feel" like you're getting higher cause the lack of oxygen mixed with smoking weed? you don't kno for sure why you're getting "higher"..

after a few minutes the 'lack of oxygen' is going to be gone because you've been breathing more clean air than smoke? yeah pal, I can certainly tell the difference between a lightheaded feeling and being stoned :wtf:

I've distinctly established the difference in feeling for my own self between, simply inhaling and exhaling, and then holding it in for several seconds...you don't seem like your intelligence level is high enough to comprehend what I'm saying so I think I'll stop trying to explain it to you now..:thumbsup:

yeah inhaling.. then exhaling.. and holding it in for several seconds.. still could be from no oxygen to the brain just making you seem higher when you really aren't.. you aren't a scientist.. just some person who smokes weed with still no proof you're actually getting "higher".. yeah you probably do get higher from holding in the smoke so every.. little.. bit.. of THC gets absorbed in the lungs.. but not THAT much of a difference will even happen.. nothing noticable like OMG I HELD THE SMOKE IN MY LUNGS FOR 10 more seconds.. IM BLAZED.. umm no?.. still no proof on the whole "99 percent of the THC absorbs in the lungs within 3 seconds".. but what if there actually IS proof that, that is true? which i think there is logical proof somewhere about it.. i don't think some kid just randomly made that up for the fun of it, if that's true then you're totally wrong.. iunno, no one even knows at this point..

damn dude im always holding my hits in.. i have noticed that on my first blaze of the day(always the best hellz ya) that i can just take maybe a rip or two.. at the most. and be just as high, also without ruining your other smoke sessions. well just hold that in till you feel your eyes gettin all high then blow it out. Also if you swallow while holding your hit in you will take some from your lungs and put it in your stomach, not a good thing to go. i sometimes burp up smoke when i do that

@greenreefer:

Could you elaborate on why having smoke in your stomach would be bad? I don't see the harm... i don't see why it would be good or bad, really. Your stomach might be able to take out some of the goodieness as well for all i know, lol.
