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

[someuser]

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.

Again, can anyone who 'preaches' this way of thought provide the STUDY or ABSTRACT that was done to prove this theory with instantly absorbed phycoactive chemicals.

If holding in the smoke longer then 7 secs yields no further result and increases 'damage' then I surely want to know... I just not going to take a stoner's words for it as gospel though

5 seconds is just fine.

I just hold the smoke in for about a second and exhale slowly. The slow exhaling causes most of the smoke to stay in the lungs for a couple more seconds, and by the time all the THC is absorbed I've basically completely exhaled my hit.

Nice, i was with the majority:

"Take many huge hits and only hold in for 3 seconds or less."

Thats about right for me, and apparently about 50% of everyone else. Peace out peeps.

:thumbsup: :stoned:

It's common knowledge, to people that actually understand it. You quite obviously have no idea at all. Sorry, no offence, but its true.

Hold it in, doesnt bother me!

In a completely unscientific study, me and my friends tried this over the course of three nights. We found no difference between ~4 second and ~10 second, but if we held our breath between hits to the point where we were being oxygen deprived, the oxygen deprivation boosted us a little.

Like I said it was biased and unscientific. But I'm convinced.

i take good hits and hold em all for like 5 seconds, u get high as the sky

[SantaClawz]

Anyone ever swallowed a hit?

[slipknotpsycho]

Anyone ever swallowed a hit?

i used to do it by accident all the time...

[SantaClawz]

Yeah, me too and it would give me real bad heart burn. I think smoking weed is why im addicted to TuMs.
