I been trying to blowing it out after a few seconds, I have to say that the effect is similar :( or :) I dunno which :O

Instead of holding it in for a few seconds try to ghost the hit. Basically, try to hold it in so long that when you finally exhale there's almost no smoke that emerges.
Option b for testing is taking a full hit, then running madly about your house waving your hands above your head until you can hold it in no longer. But needless to say, this is a bit on the kooky side.
So in response, yes it works. but only because of oxygen dep.
Holding your hits for over 5 seconds don't do you much of any benefit. The only reason it would feel like you got higher is because you are holding your breath for a long amount of time and then feeling light headed afterwards.
Its a pretty easy way to pass out if your a beginner.
I continue to stand by this. The longer you hold it in determines how high you get from that hit. Over 10 seconds though is pointless lol.
No I'm pretty sure that holding it in doesn't actually get you higher. I agree with ganjah the only thing holding you breathe does is deplete you of oxygen and make you feel lightheaded. Your lungs probably get all the thc they're going to get out of a hit as soon as you inhale.
I was told just the other day (forget who it was) that 97% of the THC is absorbed into your lungs in under three seconds. After that you're just messing up your lungs with tar.
not if your using a vape...
At the molecular level, ion exchange is almost instantaneous. You don't have to hold in a breath to get the oxygen, do you? When you hold in your tokes you only expose your lungs to more pollutants.
I jsut gave you +rep because your knowlege of ion's rocked my can hard.
Yeah, i want to believe the 3 seconds thing, but the fact is, i firmly believe htat holding it in for a bit longer DOES have an effect, and ive been smoking long enough to tell you that it definitely is not being lightheaded or oxy depravation (unless youre a 90 year old with emphysema, 10 seconds shouldnt give you lightheadedness -_-) It may be that the other psychoactive components in bud, CBN and CBD, take longer to absorb. who knows... i usually hold them in between 5 and 10 seconds.
yea i dont think so cause when i first started id do that and nowi just blow it out right after i inhale and im getting just as baked
This is interesting, a battle between science and personal experience. Has no one tried to melt their head into their body through extremely large bong rips held for the maximum amount of time possible?
I still stand by the idea that holding it in works. If the Catholic church can reject science, then damn it so can I.
you may have a point because are ions relevant to smoking cannabis? does thc absorb through ion's? I don't think so, but I don't know shit.:angelsmiley::chainsaw::toilet_claw::rambo::S 3::rambohead::s4::madnoel::S4::rastabanna::bluekni fe::cursing::thumbsup:
I don't know if it does or not, but out of habit I have always held it in for just a few seconds. When I first started I held it in much longer, but now I just hold it in for like 3 seconds or so. I should try not holding it in at all and see what happens.
Would be cool if we could get some scientific data on this issue (links ;) )
5 seconds
ROTFL! that made me laugh, yeh from my experience I don't get anywhere near a full hit unless I hold in between 5 and 9 seconds.Quote:

Seeing people smoke spliffs like fags makes me weep.
:hippy:
hahahhahaha... HAHAHAHHAHHA
"seeing people smoke spliffs like fags makes me weep."
I know what you mean, but the fact that it was unintentional is the funny part.
you know it's all a matter of preference. I love holding in a big cloud off my vaporizer. Pipe's I tend to hold the smoke in for a second. Bong rips I'm exhaling right away and joints I tend to savor and enjoy, with quick exhalations and long deep holding in.
A natural breath will do it, but any longer than 5 seconds and your wasting good smoking time. After 5 seconds theres nothing there to be absorbed.
An ion is just a molecule that has lost or gained an electron. THC is a molecule so it transfers from the smoke to your bloodstream instantaneously when you take a hit. Like others have said, within a couple of seconds the THC is absorbed. When you hold your tokes longer, pollutants (tar) remain in contact with your lung tissue for longer than necessary.Quote:

i personally hold it maybe 3-5 seconds and exhale
but when your smoking your arent breathing in pure oxygen. its not like your taking a big breath of oxygen and than holding your breath, your taking a big breath of smoke. lots of people like to totally empty there lungs before a hit too, than inhale all that smoke, and hold it. thats a long time without some good ole o2Quote:

Good Point:thumbsup:
I always argue with my friends about this since they hold it in for like 5+ seconds when I tell them that it does nothing else for you after the first couple of seconds since it all gets absorbed almost instantly. I'll be sure to tell them what you said above next time.
Judging by responses on this thread, even IF it's true you'll probably have a hard time changing their minds. People seem rather set in their smoking beliefs...Quote:

true but theirs aren't even really based on anything
