It's a myth that holding a hit gets you higher. If it "does" theres two simple explanations:

1] Oxygen Depravation, which is not a good thing.
2] Simply, placebo.

As Rogue said, 95% of THC and active cannabinoids are absorbed by the lungs instantly. A natural breath is about 3 seconds, so this is all you have to hold it in for.

Also, holding hits in just coats your lungs in tar, and it's far more unhealthy for you than blowing the hit out naturally.
LIP Reviewed by LIP on . How long do you hold your smoke in. I normally go pretty long, but i just held it in until i almost suffocated and am pretty high for a single hit Rating: 5
