gotta cough to get off

personally i think coughing gets you higher.. always wondered this myself

bump

I don't really think so.. I think it could be higher thc content in a strain which coincidentally has the smoke expansion

the only thing gonna get you higher is more thc in your blood stream , i dont see how coughing gets more thc into your blood stream .

No it doesn't.

Maybe a coughing fit cuts down on oxygen to the brain resulting in a feeling of getting higher

Coughing increases your heart rate briefly , so you tend to get a rush from the hit all at once rather than it coming on more slowly

does anyone know if coughing does affect you being high or not?

Maybe, however this is precisely where we need actual reproducible Cannabis studies on administration pathways. Physiologically when you cough you inhale and briefly force exhalation against your closed epiglottis ending with opening the epiglottis and expelling the air forcefully. During the force exhalation phase against the closed epiglottis you mechanically increase pulmonary pressure it's possible that there might be increased exchange at the alveolar level.

But to rule out the other gas changes during this same event it would require actual THC blood tests in study and control groups.

So the answer for now is maybe.

Usually a coughing fit happens after you take a huge hit, bigger the hit, the more thc. G bongs will do that to you. Just a heads up for anyone who cares, 44 north bottles fit a 18mm bowl perfectly, and you get a little vodka
