When smoking marijuana 4 medical purposes.Will it affect me the same holding a hit in long compared to short? - Yahoo! Answers

just do what you want and quite worrying about it its a buzz kill

Do your own controlled study and you will find that holding it in for longer durations gets you higher.

I personally hold it in for 42 seconds each hit and I get hella lit quite quickly.

I agree that holding the hit in for as long as you can is the way to go. When I first started smoking I didn't think that it mattered, then later I researched it thoroughly and found out that it's best to hold it in until it makes you cough.. as this opens some kind of small ports in the lungs that absorb more thc. I first heard this from a dude I used to know who was a respiratory therapist at the local hospital... who also happened to be a mega stoner

So... I've heard that when the THC goes in your lungs most of it is absorbed instantly so it doesn't matter if you hold it in or not. Also i've seen that taking smoke from one mouth to the next gets people stoned too so that kind of throws out the first idea..

Does holding in the smoke longer really get you more stoned?

I'm stoned.. I probably sound like a idiot

well some people it depends on lung capacity i have ashma so you would automaticlly think my lungs are shit right? wrong.. i can tokenchoke with the best of them.. i can hold it for just over a minuite and get totaly on the moon fried so yay i guess so

Just do what feels right.

For me its 5-7 seconds...after that its not worth it

...I heard somewhere its because your body starts getting starved of oxygen so takes more in?

studies show that 95% of cannaboids are absorbed through the lungs in the first 5 seconds. anything else is various tars and carcinogens from the plant or baccy that it is combined with. google it people! i know its for conversation but there is a scientific answer that isnt really open to opinion, except for the factor of smoking experience.
If i held smoke in i would never be able to run or play footy!

fucking awesome....

actually it does not matter if you hold in the smoke, when intaking smoke we will have it act as the oxygen in the air for this demonstration, basically what happens is that when "air" is inhaled the oxygen (only about 20% of air) can only be absorbed to about 8% of the total of what you take in, so basically your lung cells only can hold about 8% of the oxygen in the air, same with the smoke and thc. its science believe me

Well I've heard that you only need to hold it in for 5 seconds to absorb almost all of the THC but from personal experience if I hold it in until I almost puke 10-20 seconds I get waaaaay more fucked up than a normal hit. Smoke on brotha smoke it however you wanna smoke it

This question has many opinions, I don't know if there IS even a definitive answer. I just smoke, I don't count how long I hold in the smoke.

I am pretty sure inhaling all of the air in your lungs, then blowing out is a good way. I always hold in my hits but I dont really care any more. People say when you cough it gets you more blazed, but im pretty sure you are just like hyperventilating(spelling?) yourself...Damn that took way to long to type... just got off work now im blaaazed.

^ I thinking coughing gets me more blazed, either way In my opinion if your not coughing your not hitting it hard enough haha.

hold your breath for as long as you can, you get dizzy too
after thc is absorbed there is no reason to continue to restrict oxygen from your body.

lol i can take a huge bowl of kush, ghost the entire thing, and not cough
i dont think it is cause im not hitting it hard enough

if you turn blue and pass out you're holding it in too long.

Doesn't work

Actually, holding a hit in... and letting the smoke expand into your lungs and brain... the longer you hold it in the higher I get.

But that's my opinion. and I think it applies to everyone else... pretty sure anyhow.

I mean, if you just inhale a hit.. and immediately blow it out.. your not going to get as high as lets say someone that holds it in.

Well, who knows really, I think maybe that if you were to hold the hit in longer.. you may be able to get higher sooner than someone

who takes a hit and immediately exhales it back out.

That's my take on it.

peace
