i dont think the bag makes much difference though, you could just be getting an initial boost from the oxygen deprivation, or it could be a placebo affect.
Very good point, sir. Actually 2. You beat me to both of them! Excellent +rep!
I'm kinda high :smokin: anyway, the majority of the studies, whether government, or NORML always seem to use low grade stuff, like avg of 2.5% in which most of it would absorb rather quickly. But even so, from long periods of time ago, it was common sense to hold smoke in for 30 sec or so. I personally hold for 30 and I do indeed do notice a difference. This is not oxygen deprivation however. Swimmers often hold their breaths for much longer than 30 seconds and do not experience oxygen deprivation or a loss of brain cells. That takes more than a minute... so other than possibly absorbing more toxins, I don't think its that bad. Who the hell smokes that shit they study anyway? Therefor studies = rather biased.

Anyway, I don't think your balloon is doing much, other than oxygen deprivation though. You said you are inhaling and exhaling and repeating... how many times? Each time, the balloon contains more carbon dioxide and less oxygen. Not too good bro.
