Inhaled Smoke?

Yes, if you're going to smoke a substance please do take the time to separate the myths from the facts about its health consequences.

MYTH: MARIJUANA KILLS BRAIN CELLS. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.

FACT: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

I hate to beat a dead horse but, yeah THC is absorbed in the first couple of seconds so really only have to hold in the smoke for a short time. Anything longer is just oxygen deprivation. On the other hand, if you ever smoke saliva you HAVE to hold it for at least 20-30 seconds because the active ingredient is absorbed so slow.

On the other hand, if you ever smoke saliva...

That just gave me a funny mental picture of someone trying to smoke their own spit. I think you mean salvia.
