Four 500 ml big, thick hits

[Reefer Rogue]

I would've expected you to have been high, maybe couch locked, maybe giggly, hungry, happy, sleepy?

[Acouwaila]

well, that would PERSONALLY leave me feeling pretty fucking good. Um, id prolly be sinking into the music a bit more. And also appreciate the smaller things in life a bit more such as hangin out outside with an appreciation for natures beauty.the only answer to your question is. what does the world see as healthy that actually is good for you or healthy? its what you make of it. YOU. put that in your anti-marijuana article.

I fully understand the argument for not wanting your lungs to ansorb more smoke than they have to, and definitely not wanting to "force your lungs to absorb all the smoke so you do not exhale smoke" as someone said,

but I do not buy the oxygen deprivation argument. There are plenty of athletes, especially swimmers ( I was one) that often hold their breath for over 60 seconds at a time without fear of oxygen deprivation causing brain damage or anything else.

But yea, don't fuck up your lungs "ghosting"

I'm not talking about holding your breath. I'm saying, that getting up while inhaling isn't healthy because oxygen rushes throughout the body making you feel dizzy. That's why he's getting those blackouts. It's really not good for the body. Ghosting the hit also doesn't help him either.

the reason they arent deprived of oxygen is because while they're holding in a breath of pure air, we're holding in a breath of thick tarry smoke

eh, i only hold it in till I can't when I don't have alot of weed left.

The swimmer definitely takes in more air in that one big breath than the toker does in that one big hit, but the toker is sitting on his ass while the swimmer is using ALOT of O2 and much faster, yeah?

I guess one could exhale completely and then inhale just smoke until they ran out of lung capacity (some head shops sell gas masks that do this) but most people release a carb and suck down some fresh air before their lungs are filled to capacity, yeah?

So unless you are using a gas mask, holding hits, even up to 45 seconds or so (who the hell does that anyway?) shouldn't cause oxygen deprivation, it will just fuck up your lungs, yeah?

any pulmonologists?

Take a two-liter gravity bong hit up to your full lung capacity and then hold it and do a weighted apnea dive down to 200 feet. That will get you really stoned right before you die.

Well... remember that the smoke contains carbon monoxide (CO), which binds to hemoglobine more than 200 times strongly than oxigen... so, while holding a lungful of smoke the CO is binding (and thus busying) the hemoglobine, and even after you exhale the smoke, the CO remains bound to the hemoglobine. So, the available hemoglobine goes lower and it diminishes the O2 transportation rate, causing oxigen deprivation.

[melodious fellow]

Supposing one is releasing the carb and getting some fresh air, how long do you think it takes for true "oxygen deprivation" to occur?

What do you think the short term and long term side effects would be?

I greatly respect your scientific opinion on all things weed Coelho

peace

Well I completely forgot I posted this thread and was surprised at all the replys.

The answer to how I felt after hitting these four 500ml bucket hits in short succession is not that good.

You see I don't feel all that good when I smoke weed. I can almost say I really don't think its that much of an enjoyable experience for me. A lot of people report it giving them a relaxing pleasant feeling. I almost report the opposite. Thoughts come in and out of my mind rapidly and often with high intensity. Then when I try to remember what I just thought - poof - I cannot. My memory disappears. I feel a general anxiety.

I have tried to enjoy it and given it many chances - but I just do not.

There are people out there that would be in the same group as me - having experienced similar things when smoking marijuana. My question is why? Why the complete dichotomy in thoughts between those who enjoy and those who don't?

What are people's answers and speculations?
