Kids Not Holding Your Smoke In

First off, ive heard of studies that after about 4 seconds your lungs dont take anymore THC into your bloodstream. I wouldnt discredit them.

Second, why hold it in and thouroughly coat your lungs with more tar? To try and get a bit higher? Ok...

Third, it deprives your brain of oxygen, and being smokers we should probably get as much o2 to our brain as possible lol

And finally, its annoying, bad for you, and takes a bit of the fun away from smoking when everybodys just holding their breath... i see no point i get just as high

Since im a cigarette smoker im all about coating my lunges with hash oil;)
Holding my breath underwater probably kills more brain cells then holding hash hits in 10-15seconds.

not necessarily... this thread kinda annoys me too, holding in your hits has no serious effect beyond 3-4 seconds... I don't see the point of pushing this anymore.. if you are on a self-destructive path thats your own business......

personally i hold it in for about 15-20 seconds and then blow it out, the head-rush that i get makes me way more high

Found a .2 in one of my medication jars. Holding it in for all the sober pot heads out there, 30seconds max

once again I must point out that the transfer of gasses in breathing occurs as you inhale and exhale, very little is absorbed while holding in,

If you want to get the most out of your hit, take long controlled hits hold i for just a couple seconds then slowly release,

so your saying for the past 20 years... I have not been high?... :) seriously.. I have done the test myself.. and there was no difference in smoking like a cig or holding it till I passed out.. (well cept the passsing out part)
Ha, brought back some memories. bout 30 years or so ago, I had a z of Columian Red, rolled 2 fatties, and the neighbor and I proceded to smoke them as we breathed, toke, exhale, toke, exhale....normal breathes...but we basically hyper-ventilated with weed smoke. The last thing I rmember ws "floating" back to reality and being extremely fucked up. Ah, to be young, dumb and full of cum again, instead of chubby, gray and bald!!

Im just tired of people wasting my weed, letting it out after 1-2 seconds and not even coughing.
Totally ageed! I'm 54. My son and his friends, (who are all mid to late 20's), smoke the nugz like there's no tomorrow. Nothing worst than breaking out some of the top shelf nuggets and have them smoke it like a cigarette. I used to hold my hits in for 20-30 seconds, but since learning absorption for THC is much quicker, usually 3-5 seconds now.

smoking it like a cigg does work great but I do believe the extra 3-4 seconds is worth it. anything after that you're just kiddin yourselves ;)

you could choke yourself for 20 seconds and get a head rush too. any difference? i agree a 2-3 second hold is fine but there's no need to take suicide hits every time the blunt is passed waiting for it to get back to you

20 seconds can be seen 20different ways between 20 different people.
Holding in a hit 20seconds can be a delight if its greens.
Holding in a hit 20seconds with the last .1-.2 of your .5 bowl can be hell because its all ashy and burnt out.
5-6hits in a bowl if your smoking 2-3bowls, can equal a smoke session 15-20 minutes of smoking weed.
Then tomorrow you smoke 2-3 bowls every hour. Then you realize you gotta smoke more, or hold them in. And I don't have more money then brains, so I just hold them in a couple extra seconds. If you readpage two you can see that I called 10-15 too far(unless its hash).

i notice a huge difference... im not gonna hold it in when smoking a blunt but if i take a bong rip i hold it in as long as i can... and i could smoke a whole blunt to myself smoking it like a "cig" and i wouldnt get as high as if i took one fat bong rip and held it in....

Same thing with me bro, the bong is amazing.
Blunts you can hold in too, but that shits harsh as fuck.
I smoke cigars while riding a bike sometimes so none of that shits a problem. 24Inch Lucky 24 Diamond back.

I think the only time when holding a hit in is stupid is when there isn't any smoke. Then it serves no purpose.
But if you have a fat ass dense smoke cloud you can just hold that shit in for 2 extra seconds(min) and get a way better high.

i have put this to the test, it has also been scientifically proven that holding you hit in does not put a larger amount of thc in the blood stream. Holding your hits in tars up your lungs a little more and makes you cough harder, which sends more blood to the head, which gives you the head rush and makes you think you're getting higher. I hate when my buddies hit the joint too hard, hold it in then hack for five minutes afterward. Take smaller hits, you will get just as high without letting everyone in a half mile radius know what you're doing. Taking big rips is more of a tough guy competition between highschool aged kids. Remember those days, if you couldn't milk the bong up, clear it, and hold it in, you were a vah jay jay!

I don't believe that holding it in more than a few seconds doesn't get you higher. Aside from practical experience, logic would tell you that a quick inhale/exhale doesn't let all the THC in the smoke have time to interact with the lining of the lungs and be absorbed.

Same thing with cigarettes. If you don't smoke tobacco on a regular basis, try holding a hit in for 5 or so seconds versus just inhaling and exhaling . You WILL absorb more nicotine and get a nicotine buzz briefly

Ehh holding it in a few seconds will in fact make more thc be absorbed.. you also might get some good Oxygen Depravation going.. but still you cannot say holding it for .1 second is the same as holding it for lets say 4 or 5
so your saying for the past 20 years... I have not been high?... :) seriously.. I have done the test myself.. and there was no difference in smoking like a cig or holding it till I passed out.. (well cept the passsing out part)
AND IF IM WRONG. YOU STILL GET HIGHER from holding it in.. ^^ regardless of what your getting HIGH from. tar, no air, thc.. still high
