This doesn't sound right.
According to these reports 90-95% of the THC is absorbed within 3-5 seconds. Now if I were to vaporise a bud and hold the vapor in for 3-5 seconds and then exhale, I get a huge cloud of vapour ( THC, terpines, etc ) expelled from my lungs.
If I hold it for 50 seconds( with vapor you can do this), I get very little coming out when I exhale.
If all the THC is absorbed after 3-5 seconds, then what the hell am I exhaling?

Just because a doctor said it, it doesn't mean it's true.

This thread and you remind me of the government and how they try to twist test results. The results you just posted are saying that the other 5-15% of THC is smoke that never entered the lungs. Smoke that either slipped out your mouth while hitting it, smoke that stayed in your mouth because you took a huge hit and didn't think to leave a couple seconds of breath to clear your mouth/throat, smoke that sat in your throat for the previous reason. Or could be something else. Holding a hit for 50 seconds is ridiculous. You are cutting off oxygen to your brain and probably doing more damage than weed will EVER do. If this other 5-15% of smoke is so precious to you then try taking a big hit, blowing like 1/3 out, inhale again, blow 1/3 out, keep doing that until you are blowing no more smoke. This is probably just as bad as holding it and letting the tar coat your lungs but at least your brain isn't being deprived of oxygen! You damn fool.

i wonder why people like this idiot never get banned, and others do for the dumbest reasons lol, this guy shouldnt even be on here.

infuckingpossible when you inhale a damn joint right, you'll know what I mean.
Joints or Blunts or any kind of delivery system will get you baked if you are in fact smoking the grass of the heavens.


Ever sucked dick for coke? HUH? BOO THIS MAN! :jointsmile:

[quote=ProToker0622]"Cannabis smoke is usually inhaled deep into the lungs and held there for an extended time, in order to maximize absorption of the active compounds. While cannabis users in North America often retain the smoke in their lungs for up to a minute or longer, preliminary laboratory data suggest that the retention of almost all of the cannabinoids in the inhaled smoke may occur after a considerably shorter interval (less than half a minute may be sufficient).399,487 By contrast. prolonged retention of inhaled smoke is not common among cannabis users in either India or Jamaica, although deep inhalation techniques are typically used.412,534 On the basis of the present data, then, it would appear that under optimal conditions, a smoker may absorb up to one-half of the THC available in the cannabis material. Under most conditions however, both social and experimental, considerably less of the THC actually enters the physiological system[n]

The lack of standard administration techniques generally renders detailed or quantitative comparisons quite tenuous, both among experiments and between laboratory and social situations. "

You guys are so touchy. I think the above statment says all results seem a bit random, no matter who or where you are.
I say inhale less, hold it for longer, and don't use tobacco.

well, supposedly, joints don't allow much thc to get into your lungs...
some is lost on the paper, or the excess smoke when you not hitting it... bong is most efficient way to smoke, you get like 80% of available thc from a hit.

This probably explains why the waterfall got you fucked up, but not the joint...
me, personally, i'll hit the bong or bubbler

this may sound stupid but it could be the way your inhaling?? the other day i rolled a couple fatties for me n my buddy, and well he hasnt smoked too many times. He said he never smoked a joint. so anyways we fire up the dank and bout half way through im feelin it pretty nice and we finish it and hes like man im not high. im like alright.... well lets smoke the other one... same shit he said after he aint high im like you do kno how to inhale right like its not something you need to learn and he says he was doin everythin right, but iunno cuz if he has like 2 bowls hes cheeched outta his mind

fuck that was long for me time to get high ... .. er

o.0 97% actually.. but i'm not gonna pick at bones lol..

yeah i'm confused dude... cuz if you get high smoking other ways it's not like a paper should or even could effect that... gotta be either shitty weed or user error... well possibly a placebo effect (they can work both ways) if you were really convinced it wasnt' gonna get you high in the first place...

or... perhaps, maybe you were smoking with alot of people... a normal (cig sized around) joint, can get two people good and high... but the more people you add to the rotation, the more it takes away from the first two's high...

tightizzle.
