How long do you hold your hits in?

[JunkYard]

5 seconds at the most. When I was younger I would try to hold it in as long as I could, but it didn't get me any more stoned, it just made me a little dizzy from lack of oxygen to the brain.

I've found that many small hits work better than a few enormous ones, too. Your lungs can only absorb so much, so when you take really big hits, you're in effect just wasting your smoke.

i usually in hale and exhale with in 3 seconds my lungs cant hold in this much smoke for 2 long

Your smokin like a freight train. LOL

Your smokin like a freight train. LOL

best kind. or im not gettin high. BIG HITS!!!!:stoned:

iv heard holdin it for 6seconds is the best. but it all depends on wat kinda bowl i pack and how it hits me. sometimes i can hold it for the 6 seconds but other bowls jus fuck me and i gotta blow it out right away but really ur still gettin stoned either way. and coughing even helps ur highness(advice from Snoop Dogg)

Does anyone else like to zero?

What's this "Zero" you speak of??

[marvelous22]

Any hit after 5 seconds or so is pretty pointless. You don;t get more high.

i dont know if this really counts but my goal to make a weed hit good is if i cough, and i hold my tokes in for about 5 seconds dont really need to any longer SALVIA oin the other hand you should hold it in for longer, about 10-15 seconds any longeer will just give you lung damage

Hold your salvia for 30 and your weed for 3 seconds boys'. After 3 sec. 95% of the thc is absorbed by the lungs, anything longer will just coat your lungs with more tar. For those of you saying it gets you higher, it's the lack of oxygen to your brains!

quotes from the Marijuana Medical Handbook(1997)(ed rosenthal):

" Marijuana smokers should probably abandon the practice of deeply inhaling and holding their breath.Studies have shown that this does little to increase thc absorption, but may substantially increase the respiratory hazards of smoking."

" Another difference between marijuana and tobacco is that tobacco smoke tends to penetrate more deeply into the lungs.For whatever reason, marijuana smoke tends to concentrate in the larger,upper air passageways of the lungs and throat, while tobacco penetrates to the smaller,lower passageways.One result of this is, apparently, that marijuana doesn't cause emphysema,a progressive degenerative disease of the lower lungs that is linked to tobacco smoking.On the other hand, marijuana may be more apt to irritate the throat than cigarettes"

When I try to hold in my hit, I'll exhale and then I'll gag up smoke somehow.

Kinda gross.


Thats why I just rip the blunt, do the cloud (or ghost inhale) and exhale.
