Could you get more out of weed if you breathe out you nose.

wow....thats almost as stupid as the people who think that putting glass in E pills cuts the stomach and helps the MDMA get absorbed.

Haha, Avporx true man, thats absolutely as crazy as that glass bs.
 
I would think it makes no difference. But my dad thinks it get's you higher. He also thinks it gets you higher if you hold it in for like 40 seconds though.

He's right about the 40 seconds. If you don't hold your hit long enough that your exhalation has NO visible smoke at all, then you're wasting cannabinoids.
 
when i smoke i used to basically hit the pipe then breath through my nose to bring the air in my mouth down to my lungs. i still do that but now simultaneously inhale through my mouth and nose. im sorta convinced using nose makes it easier to bring all the smoke into your lungs. im not talking abouit directly inhaing through the nose though, just pulling air through your nose to inhale also.

Do you have a source for this?

I was always under the impression that holding a hit in for 3-7s is plenty for maximizing dose while minimizing lung damage. THC is a molecule that gladly crosses the alveolar gas-blood barrier.

There are some molecules in smoke that take longer to diffuse, that you ideally don't want to be absorbing ANY of.

UC Davis did a study years back with THC absorption ending around the 7 second mark.

I think the most effective way to inhale is to take the biggest hit you can take without choking it out, then let a bit out, hold it, let a bit out, hold it etc till its gone. When you let some smoke out then hold it it causes little microscopic tears in the lining of your lungs and more thc gets in..

Using this method with a volcano I'd expect 99% bioavailability.. lol :0

I didn't say anything about nose exhaling/inhaling..

Just that if you slowy exhale and exhale/hold it, on and off you WILL absorb more thc,, I saw it in some medical sciency type book dealies.. 4 real tho.

I can't seem to find this study. Can you?

I recall reading something that MAPS published claiming that 80% or 90% of THC is absorbed in the first 14 seconds, but I can't find the study I'm thinking of either.

Either way, it's worth holding your breath an extra 30 seconds even for that last 5% if you ask me. Cannabis ain't cheap, and a 5% savings is helpful.

An extra 30 seconds? Oxygen deprivation isn't good, that's mainly what you perceive as "5% more THC", my assumption anyways..

After I got my wisdom teeth out, I could only take hits through a bowl THROUGH MY NOSE!!

Shit!!!!! Burned like a mofo, was probably a dumb thing to do, but it killed the pain and I only did it for 2 days. I feel as if I got more high from smaller hits.

As a side note, I almost always french inhale my hits, and it makes a noticeable difference.

yo thats a horrible idea. that can cause a dry socket which is blood clots, this can cause death.
 
I don't think that the whole it's no good after 2 seconds is really true. I've taken second hand hits and they were pretty decent. As for the nasal deal. I have no idea. Every little bit counts :P.
 
as to the THC time absorption.. I always find it better when I hold hits for 20 sec - cleared than when I take little drags, regardless of what the biologists have to say.
 
Try not to do that too much

Smoke passing in and out of your nose over an extended period will give you some big bold nose capillaries later in life
 
I thought that breathing the smoke in and out like glassass said was the best way to absorb thc while reducing negative side effects of oxygen deprivation. If I held my breath for 40 seconds after every hit I think I'd pass out. Also doesn't that kill mad brain cells? I can just see a circle of people passing a blunt huffing and puffing with blue faces lol.
