...lol that's wrong dude......but i won't spoil it....but yea dude i dunno if you will even want to quit after your first time.....

I hold mine for 15+, don't know if it helps any extra but thats just the way I do.

A lot of people say that it doesn't matter if you hold your hit, doesn't get you any higher.

But... thinking about it.. if the smoke is there longer, your lungs will absorb more thc. People get high from shotgunning, so your lungs cant possibly be absorbing all of the thc if you exhale 2 seconds after taking a hit. I've held a few hits so long that no smoke came out when I exhaled... it gets me higher.

Hold the smoke until you cough your ass off. If it's your first time and you do it right, you should cough pretty hard. After awile, try to get your highest w/out coughing because coughing makes your eyes cashed as a mothafucka!

You definately get higher holding it in. I just don't know what the "ideal" time is. You see, thc will be absorbed into your lungs at some rate, at some point there will be much less thc in the smoke, and therefore you are getting thc deposited at a low enough rate, that the "highness" will be marginal. I don't know how long this takes, so I try to hold it long enough that I'm past that point. 15 seconds works out well for me. I've heard 3 seconds, but that doesn't seem to work nearly as well. It probobly depends largely on the size of the hit you've taken, and the size of your lungs. I've done the no smoke exhale too, it has a name, maybe ghost hit? I can't remember for sure, and I'm too lazy to look it up.

[slipknotpsycho]

the "ideal time" is supposed to be 15-17 seconds....and of course you will get more thc if you hold it in longer...no one's ever it any other way....but most of the thc is abosrbed rather quickly so it's just personal prefrence and wastefulness per person that will say how long to hold it....if you're going to be smoking alot i'd say you don't have to hold it in as long (and hell if you are with a bunch of people and don't wanna get ragged on for being weak then you might wanna only hold it for two or three seconds....) but if you're by yourself or only have so much then i'd say hold it in for 15 seconds or more....

Thanks for the info slipknot

[Jake0steve]

Ya, me and my people always debate about the holding it in thing, but that seems pretty accurate.

Oh ya, and mono repin I love your icon, The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie.

[RidingHigh]

how old is the thread maker?

[mono repin]

Thanks jake0steve. I dig that movie as well obviously. Meet so many other stoners just quoting lines in everyday life. It seems only the stoners have seen it?!?!

[Jake0steve]

Ya, only the stoners have seen it where I am too. Noone else has even heard of it, but every stoner I ask say its a great movie.

I think stoners might even appriciate more than non-stoners. But its a great movie for everyone to see, and great soundtrack I am listening to now.
