I heard that coughing after taking a hit forces the THC into the alveoli in your lungs, somehow.
Thats only what I heard.

it's called PEEP or positive-end expiratory pressure. it recruits alveoli from your dead space and forces them open.

its a concept of lung physiology that is used in intensive care units (ICUs) to help get oxygen into the blood in lungs that are very old or sick.

some high genius also figured out it works for thc. or maybe some even higher genius figured out it worked for thc, then invented a mechanical icu ventilator thinking it worked for oxygen too. or maybe i'm high.

This is pretty retarded. Good weed makes you cough. Coughing doesn't do anything on its own. Now what about the effect of burping up smoke?

burping up smoke removes it from your stomach. to burp you have to increase your intrathoracic pressure (you have to bear down a little, like you're going #2) and that will have a similar effect to coughing.

this explanation i'm not as sure about though.

aint good weed unless you choke

My brother-in-law swears by it. lol. I don't know, seems to work...forces it deeper in your lungs I suppose.

I thought when you cough it forces blood to your brain? i know i have taken some serious bong hits and coughed and been high as fuck.

I think the key thing here is, doing it because you took a big ass hit is ok.

Being a lame ass and forcing yourself to cough every time you take a hit, makes you a poser. Fuck posers, quit being lame.

Just hold it in and let the smoke go to ur brain......?
