twenty seconds is to much, thats what leads to loss of brain cells.
holding for 3-5 seconds is perfect becuase within the first 3 seconds 9x% of the thc is absorbed by the lungs.
atleast thats what I heard from my health class from a stoner teacher back in high school.

it only seems like you're smoking more because you have more hits off of a blunt as you would off a bong but then again, you don't as much from a blunt as you would in a bong. and plus the hit is smoother and cooler thus you take yourself a killer rip.:rasta:

No, I don't think it wastes weed, unless you use it in a wasteful manner; however, that can apply to any method of administration.

The reason why people think it wastes weed is because people usually get only one or two hits off of a bowl. But keep in mind that those hits are huge compared to a hit one would get from a pipe or a bubbler, or a joint/blunt/whatever. So really, you're getting the same amount as you would if you packed the same sized bowl in a pipe and took 5 or 6 or more hits... just you're getting it all at once instead.

personally i think gravity bongs waste the least amount of ganja. its like 1/3 - 1/2 of a bong bowl and im high as hell for at least 3 hours

none of my buddies nor i smoke joints anymore because of our tolerance and how much it wastes

THC and other cannaboids get filtered 30% more than the tar does, thats why it wastes weed... unless you drink the bong water everytime lol. bongs only get you more high because you can smoke like 10 times as much, it may feel better on your lungs but you are doing more harm than good.

things do not waste weed
people do, the only wasting is when someone lets whatever amount of smoke not in there lungs of course which usually isnt alot
bongs and joints get you the same amount of high, it all depends on how big a hit you take, in a way you could think joints get you less high, because there a bit harsher which could lead to taking a smaller toke, but any way you do it your getting the same amount of high as long as your smoking the same amount of weeed.
some people i hear saying bongs eat weed, which isnt true, its all dependant on the person smoking
hopefullly this helps some people
