Hold those hits in!

IS THAT WHAT MY LUNGS LOOK LIKE FROM WEED???

weed irritates your lungs and passageways but it doesn't completely fuck em up like that

Hopefully law will change and good control studies will be conducted

That's good to know, but smoking bud still causes tar to build up on your lungs.

yea but most people dont smoke weed nearly as often as you would cigs

[goonin out]

really? i never heard of that. i'm sure its very small traces to the point where you probably shouldn't even worry about it. i'm real amped up on the fact that there shouldn't be any additives in my bud and i hate when its compared to smoking ciggs apart from always using rolling papers and blunts which are the only links i can figure out between weed and any other harmful man-made unnatural substance i guess. there's no wrong way to smoke though of course :stoned:

besides, when you swallow it usually goes straight down into your stomach

that doesnt work since almost 99% of THC is absorbed in 5 seconds.

Well, I've been noticing lately that I haven't been getting as high as I should be considering the quality and quantity of the weed I'm smoking. Yesterday I found out the problem. I had a long shift at work, so I brought a little bowl and some weed with me. There's one bathroom at work you can only get into if you put a butterknife in the keyhole, so I went in there to smoke. There was a smoke detector, so I decided I would hold my hits in until I didn't breathe out any smoke, and I would only take little hits so I wouldn't cough. I took three little hits in there, and when I got back to work I was feeling niiiiiiiiice. The fact that I held each hit in for a good 30-45 seconds must have been the key factor here. You don't need to hold your hits in that long, but don't just breathe them out 5 seconds later like most people I smoke with. Hold them in, and you will get a lot more bang for your buck.

DUDE, it must be contagious this time of year! Yesterday, i went to my gf's rocky horror practice and i smoked out of her little bowl outside, but this time i held in the smoke when people exited the building, and i was feeling very nice when i sat back down inside. Holding it in makes a world of difference!

Now you are suppose to hold your hits in at least longer than 3 seconds regardless to what anything says I know the longer you hold it in the higher you get. If 1-2 or 1-3 seconds works for some one else good, but I know exactly how high I like to be and for some reason that doesn't do it for me... That's one thing they have tried to prove that I just cannot agree with, 5-8 seconds is good, works great. I swear to GOD I hate when some one says "Yeah but guess what! 99.9% (ZOMG) of the THC is almost instantly absorbed within 3 seconds the exact second it enters your lungs!!!" lol like are you really looking at your lungs to be able to tell? How the hell do you really know that? But anyways 30 seconds is way too long lol.

Also Cannabis Campbell that's a funny picture haha.

From information I read (which I believe to be a reliable source upon reading, don't know where though), THC is absorbed instantly in the lungs.
In my opinion whether you hold it for a few seconds or a minuet, the effect from the cannabis will be the same. Its other tings that make you feel 'higher', like oxygen deprivation and such.
