Holding it in

[elemental]

I read somewhere that holding smoke in doesn't make a difference - all THC is absorped almost immediately. Is this true? Because it's a lot easier on the lungs to just exhale normally and not try to hold it in.

I don't think that's true because when you ghost you hold it in till there is no smoke, but that could just be the smoke and not the THC.

I personally don't really hold it at all. I tend to smoke very casually and still get very very high from the same amount as my smoking buddy.

yes its true. you get most of the THC (think like 95%) in the first 3 secs of holding it in

i always get much much higher when i hold em in, i dont think that stuff about the thc being absorbed in like 1 second is true

It's very possible you're higher from the repeated lack of oxygen to your brain.:thumbsup:

any boost in your high from lack of oxygen would go away in like 5 mins, and i always get really high for longer when i hold my hits

Hmm mixed response. I'll have to experiment.

I and many others on the boards believe THC is absorbed almost instantly into the lungs, holding it only promotes the chances of bad tings happening IMO. However others will disagree.

i normally hold the smoke in for about 3-5 seconds, but sometimes when im out at concerts or in public i ghost hit it so people cant smell it or see it
