THC Absorption?

[420purplehaze420]

I disagree, my experience is that if you hold in your hits, you do in fact get higher. I've smoked by breathing normally, and i've smoked by holding my hits in for about 15 seconds. I got much higher on the Latter, and surely I know the differents between oxygen deprivation and being high. I have been smoking for over 10 years.

Also, that theory does not explain why the age old activity of hotboxing in your car gets somebody who isn't smoking high. Or how shotgunning a hit to somebody who isn't smoking gets them high aswell. Surely oxygen deprivation doesn't last 3 hours and gives you the munchies.

Daily factoid isn't going to do it for me, there are plenty of myths about smoking marijuana that many believe is true.

beleive what you want mr suspicious but sitting in a hot boxed car does not get you high alone, could sitting in the car with someone who is smoking get a non smoker addicted?

420purplehaze420 Reviewed by 420purplehaze420 on 07-29-2006. THC Absorption? I've searched for this and have yet to find a straightforward answer and evidence to back it up. Is THC absorbed in the first 5-7 seconds of inhaling or is this a myth? If it is true, why would shotgunning and hotboxing work? In my experience, I feel it is a myth, however, since so many believe it, I feel as though you know something that I don't. Please Explain. :) Rating: 5

Lmao yeah i put tobacco into my joints anyway i have to

So your saying if i just smoke weed i wont get lung cancer Lip?

Well, if its just pure weed, then yes, BUT, then again, some people get cancer and never smoke at all in their life, so its no sure fire way.

But i smoke it all day every day and im putting my faith into it.

From the research ive done on cannabinoid receptors, THC, cannabinoids and free radicals i do belive that cannabis DOES prevent cancer.

1 thing i can say that is definat though i that if you smoke cannabis you will never get a brain tumour.

THC and certain cannabinoids kill the glioma cell in the brain, which is the onl cell cannabis kills. It's also the only cell in the brain to turn cancerous and its not used by the brain for anything which makes me pissed when people say "If you smoke weed you'll become stupid" because that proves they dont know what they're talking about.

Yes, but as its already been explained, its not through your lungs absorbing more THC, its the fact your depriving yourself of oxygen, nothing else.

But hey, 15 seconds? I wonder how much tar you have on your lungs... to be perfectly honest i wonder how much longer your lungs will work buddy...

your life... your death

Enjoy it

I don't know where you get your information, Lip, but i've actually tried many of these things and came up with my own judgements, i've also talked to many people who have been smoking for over 50 years. Science always changes, and not much is actually known about marijuana compared to tobacco or alcohol. People used to think Bongs filter out tars in the smoke when a study done by norml shows that it actually filters out the THC as well, so you have to smoke more herb to get the same level of high. Anyway, nobody has yet to show me anything past the daily factoid that tells me I am wrong.

With that said, I have noticed very little difference in my lungs from 10 years of smoking and I've been swimming all my life. I've never heard of anybody dying from smoking marijuana, I also wonder about the amount of tar in my lungs, but I doubt holding your breath for a few seconds significantly damages them. Don't agree? show me a medical study.

How do you smoke weed then Lip? from a bong?

[LIP]

Nah, i smoke it in pure joints.

Rain man, i now have to break your world of happiness, and tell you that you are SO wrong, its unbelivable.

Cannabis is the most investigated thing in the world, nothing else has had so many studies.

Now, you said up there that bong;s also filter out THC? THC DOES NOT BREAK DOWN IN WATER. It's only dissolves in alcohol, or fat.

Why post your opinions? We dont want opinion, this is for FACT.

Please, whatever you say, think about it first.


Have a nice funeral... Maybe they can use the tar from your lungs and re- serface a road.

[LIP]

Right, Im not gunna post anymore in this thread or it'll turn into a flame war, i can just see it happening now.

Point is THC is abosrbed almost insantly no matter what anyone thinks...

The studies are right, you are wrong

Peace and fucking :thumbsup:

Contrary to popular impression, waterpipes don't necessarily protect smokers from harmful tars in marijuana smoke, according to a new study sponsored by MAPS and California NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). The reason is that waterpipes filter out more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired effect. The study does not rule out the possibility that waterpipes could have other benefits, such as filtering out gases, but it suggests that other methods, such as the use of high potency marijuana, vaporizers, or oral ingestion are needed to avoid harmful toxins in marijuana smoke.

Edit: I am not looking to start a flame war, I am simply after the truth. If you think I am wrong, fine, but explain to me why and show me some actual evidence that I am. Don't just make something up because you think it's right. I am trying to dispel myths here, not argue with folks.

Now, you said up there that bong;s also filter out THC? THC DOES NOT BREAK DOWN IN WATER. It's only dissolves in alcohol, or fat.

The water did trap some THC, as well as other psychoactive compounds, however, most of the THC present in the marijuana passed through the water pipe unchanged.
