This might be kind of stupid but I donno.

The surface-to-volume ratio of the inside of the lungs is HUGE. Transfer of substances across the bloodstream is almost immediate. Holding it in more than a second or two really does nothing to increase your high, and only allows more tar to settle in your lungs.

thanks i was never sure

Lol yeah until i saw ppl on here talking about how bad it was i always use to try and hold it in, now i hold it in like 5 seconds, then exhale...

same advice, I've experimented and read a lot on the subject. Holding it for a sec does help with absorbtion, but anything longer than a five count is worse for your lungs than any benifit you would gain. ( I hold for three at most, my lungs be smallish)

sum times i do sumtimes i dont....dun care.....but i wouldent be suprised if holding it in wasent very good for you.

Yeah I remember seeing somewhere that 95% of the THC is taken in within the first five secs, so that's what I do.

i hold it in for maybe 2 secs. Unless i have like 1 hit then i just take in as much smoke as possible and hold it in as long as possible.But yah as mellow said the way to get stoned as possible is to take monster fuckin hits that make you cough

[NextGen]

Why can people get stoned from second hand hits? If there's no thc left why why?

[420ultimatesmokage]

the way i see it, the lung works by diffusion. gases move from high concentration to areas of low concentration. there must be some sort of a equalization of thc concentration between the blood stream and air. when it is closer to an equal concentration the rate of absorbtion will slow or stop so it is not possible to absorb all the thc but this is just an idea i came up with and can not say weather its true or not.

I hold my hits in for a few seconds. I hate holding my hits in really long. It makes me cough sometimes. If i roll a doob then i usually just smoke it like a cig.
