Avoiding Coughing Out

[NeoPariah]

They say you don't get off unless you cough, but coughing out still can be a pretty crappy experience. Here's a little trick I use: Exhale slowly through your nose. It's easier to control the impulse to change that exhale into a cough that way. But doing it more than once or twice ruins your sense of smell for the day.

What tips and tricks do you have for avoiding coughing out?

Two words: small hits.

Just smoke it nice and leisurely, esp. if you're alone.

i hate coughing gives me a bad start on the high and ruins it

the "don't get off unless you cough" phrase is a myth... try having a massive coughing fit when youre sober.. you feel really lightheaded after. its not being "more high" its just being high combined with lightheadedness and the high dirtier that way

yeah i dont understand that myth, why would it make you higher if you cough your lungs out?

All coughing does it dialate the avioli and you feel the high quiker, but not a stronger high.

To stop coughing take small hits, and exhale slowly, and if you feel the urge to cough, try your hardest to surpress it cos once you start it takes ages to stop coughing.

just smoker smaller ammounts until the effects of the cannabis kick in and it will numb ur lungs up.

coughing can get you higher actualy, it opens these things called ephilaries? or something like that in ur lungs and when u cough the marijuana enters them and gets u higher.

how can it enter your lungs better when ur coughing out air... how would that make you higher.. i know what ur talkin about i felt it myself but its only for a few seconds especially if i stand up fast or have a bad coughing fit i seem to get alot more dizzy.. but it goes away fairly fast

Coughing is good. When you cough it forces the aveoli in your lung to expand, along with your actualy bronchial tissue. This means that there is more surface area for THC and other chemicals in mary to enter your bloomstream.

The first hit you take should be so big that it makes you cough. You will get higher from your later hits, because you coughed.

Exhaling (and inhaling) through your nose is bad. Marijuana smoke contains more cancinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke, and your nose is a much less protected area than your throat. You will get those red lines in your nose that old men get (bursted capillaries) except you will get them much earlier in life.

Unless you want a grandpa nose, don't mix nose and dank.

Exhaling slowly through your mouth is the best way to get the highest possible off of a given hit of smoke. Holding the hit +5 seconds also maximizes this. Take as much fresh air behind a hit as possible. While holding, try to suck more fresh air into your lungs. Even if you think you can't, suck the tiniest bit more. Sit straight up. Put your arms in the air, and then take another tiny breath on top.

This will help to expand the size of your lungs over time, and will help to better absorb the smoke because fresh air triggers chemical exchange between the aveoli in your lungs, THC does not.
