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 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.

Bad things?

take some ghost hits and ull tell a diff.


hit it hard as hell and to the point when u breathe out theres nothin comin back out and youll tell a difference

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

but really i cant tell much a difference in the highs

When I first started I would hold it in for about 10 seconds. And to be honest, after realizing that one does not need to hold it in for so long, I've had much more clean-feeling highs. In other words, much more enjoyable. Plus, you get a better after-taste of the herb (given that the aftertaste is good, which it usually is if it is well-cured - of course, that is not for all strains. Some strains have some weird and gross aftertastes! But don't gip yourself out of the awesome aftertaste of that Strawberry Cough, baby!).
