If you exhale a hit, and you still see smoke, are you wasting THC?

Like one of those big ass bong hits, where it's milky white...and no matter how long you hold the hit, it still comes out smokey. Would that be just too much THC to absorb?

the consensus from a family of tokers is.... small hits more often and dont worry about holding them in. is there a difference between four small hits or two big hits of one hit wonder bud?

Yes you are loosing THC. Each and every time you inhale a gas you only absorb 20% of it through your lungs. You waste 80% of what you breath in (thats why smoke looks well smoky when you exhale). To counter act this some like to use a gas mask.

no you absorb 99% of the thc in the fitst second of inhalation, so really holding your hits has no added benifet, or so i was told in rehab years ago..

I never really thought about that but my friends and I always take super big bong rips. I read somewhere that less smoke can equal a better high though. Who knows?

I'd agree with you all, when you hit a fat ass bong rip the hit probably went down to your toes so when you breathe out its just the result, cant possibly absorb all that smoke. But i rap my bud usually, even though the bowls always an option, w/ some dank. But smoking blunts i can get foreal 45-50 hits chillin with it, I guess they're smaller hits, but none the less effective. buff breathe buff exhale, and you don't normally blow out alot of smoke. Like i said- effective, effecient is the name of the game. But no matter, i'd be rippin the bong if mine was still around

I heard after 8 seconds its 90% THC, Thats why i feel light headed after a bong rip is b/c i'd be breathing out air that came from my toes lol, no joke

when i vape i hold it in and slow-count to 15...
'want maximum cilia absorption, and plus the extra lightheadedness from the little bit o' oxygen deprivation is fun.

What if you take a hit, hold it and do a bunch of pushups or something. So that your body tries to pull in more oxygen quickly?

we used to hit the bong, hold the smoke in, down a pint of lager, then down a shot of a spirit and then fall over.....lmao....the things you do when your young!!! No smoke left after that, and an almighty spinnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm currently learning about how lungs evolved the way they are, and how they work. I don't know why my bio teacher would lie about such a thing...In the end who really knows. I'm sure no ones done a truly scientific study on this concept.
