to hold it in or not...thats the question

[Inferius]

Bobbong your quote says THC is absorbed almost instantly, they always reference THC, but aren't we all forgetting that theres more to weed that gets us high than THC? It's not the only cannabinoid. Show me a study that say all of the cannabinoids are taken in almost immediately after inhalation, and i'll blow my hits out after 3 seconds. But until then, I always feel higher if I hold for at least 7.

5 seconds. The reason people claim to get higher from holding in hits for large amounts of time is due to oxygen deprivation. Like some1 already said 95% of the thc is absorbed pretty much instantly after inhaling. DOn't let anyone dictate how you smoke, hold your hits or not, it doesn't bother me, all that should matter is that you get high...

Well I agree, THC, CBD, CBN, THCV, what ever the cannabinoids may be that enters your bloodstream I do believe they are absorbed almost instantly but just because it says that doesn't mean that there isn't more cannabinoids to be absorbed. Thats why I hold it in my lungs for more than 3 seconds and if you ask me it does make a difference.

Actually, THC is the primary phycoactive in cannabis. [Delta -9 - tetrahydrocannabinol.]

The phycoactive compounds including THC are absrobed almost instantly, so you should inhale, and exhale as you would if you were just breathing normally. 3 -5 seconds tops, any longer than that and as Bobbong said i think, you'll be holding in tar.

People think holding it in gets them higher, but it doesnt. 2 simple words for it.

Oxygen Deprevation, and or Placebo.

But each to their own... if people want to hold it in for stuopid amounts of time then start planning your funeral now.

yeah i hold it in for as long as i possibly can, because i do belive it gets me more high. thats my opinion whether you agree or not. btw my throught is fine

[EsotericStoner]

Smoking period isn't very good for you.. your better off eating it.. doesn't mess up your lungs and gets you high for a longer period of time.. But then again if your buying your herb from the "street" I wouldn't suggest eating it.. There's no telling what kinds of pesticides and other chemicals it may have in it...

Listen to him. Holding the smoke for too long makes your lung absorb all the useless compounds in the smoke. It's not worthy. If you're smoking good weed you'll get stoned holding it or not.

i cant smoke v well and i always cough so to prevent this i take small hits and keep breating in after i have taken the hit, when ive breathed in enough for all the smoke to go into my lungs it usually takes 2-5 seconds to come back out anyway. it works for me but are u supposed to smoke like that?

[partyguy420]

ahh... to tell you guys the truth... when i was doing meth, and smoking weed while i was coming down... i would just bring the hit down into my lungs, and then exhale realy fast, like i was tought to do with shards... when i do smoke weed now adays, i hold it until im abouts to start coughing...
