Holding in hits

[slipknotpsycho]

Well, I'm kind of undecided on the issue. At first I thought that the reason people said holding the hits in makes you higher, is really just because it makes you light headed, not actually higher. But then again, if you just inhale and exhale quickly, a shit load of smoke blows out, and shotguns get people high, and that's the same smoke you are exhaling into their mouths, so, it seems like a waste to blow it out.

Usually, I'll hold it in for 15 seconds if I'm watching a clock, just because I heard by that time all the THC you're going to get has already been absorbed.

Sometimes, if I'll take too huge of hit, I'll have to cough it out almost instantly.

ummm.... not around here, a shotgun is done wtih fresh smoke, either by putting your lips over a cherried bowl and blowing, or sticking a joint/blunt in your mouth backwards and blowing....

yer round ere to give a blowback you put the joint in ur mouth backwards and then the other person puts there lips bout 1 inch away from the roach then the person with the joint in there mouth blows while thre otherperson sucks all the air coming out of the joint


oyea lol 4gotte, i loke to hold in ma tokes it DOES get me higher no mater what scientific bullshit you tell me i know that it does lol

anuva thing i like to do is take a toke inhale blow it away take a toke inhale blow it away and keep doing that cause your not ever taking a breath of just fresh air while your doing that but each time you inhale your getting bout 60% weed 40% oxygen i like it better than just takng loads of tokes wivout blowing out cause you can do it for longer you dnt get out of breath and it gets u mashed

There is NO advantage of holding the smoke in, inless your on a suicide mission.
Your just depriving your lungs of oxygen making you go light headed, the longer you hold it in the more damage your doing to your body.
THC is absorbed in the lungs INSTANTLY, as i say there is no added effect from the cannabis of holding it in longer.
Personaly i dont, i just inhale and exhale.

Take note, this is correct.

i would agree with this but holding in hits fucks me up twice as much otherwise, and its not from being lightheaded, because its last the whole high. is there any real way to tell if thc is absorbed instantly? plus ive gotten high off people blowing smoke from their lungs into mine so yeah. actually thats the only way mine friends gf smokes and she gets more ripped than i do.

The verdict should be that anyone holding in hits does not know what they are doing.. and if anyone is losing brain cells from weed its from this.

For the people who think holding in their hits gets them higher (which it doesn't), there's still no good reason to hold in your hits. Why? Because you only get one pair of lungs... you can always buy more weed.

does anyone have any proof at all that THC is absorbed by the lungs instantly or are you just talking out of your asses?

[IllusionalFate]

Conventional wisdom is that holding in the smoke increases the effects felt. Recent research shows the opposite; it causes more harm to the lungs without increasing the amount of THC absorbed. Studies done in Australia indicate that 95% of the THC in cannabis is absorbed in the first few seconds of inhaling. Holding in the smoke longer just allows more tar and other noxious chemicals to be absorbed.

95% is abosrbed instantly. The other 5% is abosrbed within 3 seconds. A natural breath is 3 seconds. No need to hold a hit, at all. An one who argues with that is arguing with fact, and showing their ignorance.

The only thing holding hits in does it cause oxygen depravation, which might answer some of the questions about why "potheads" are dumb.
