It’s Science, people!!!
How many times have you heard:
"HOLD IT IN as long as you can!"
or
"WTF, you just exhaled—you wasted it!"

And I’m over here thinking…
Wait a minute. I'm a f***ing science genius, and something ain't adding up. So I looked into it. Turns out, when you smoke crack, the drug gets absorbed into your lungs super fast. Like, within seconds. The alveoli (those tiny air sacs in your lungs) do their job almost instantly.

You could hold that smoke in for 10 minutes, it won’t make you higher. It just makes your lungs hate you more. The “rush” isn’t about how long you hold your breath. It’s about how fast the cocaine hits your brain usually 8–10 seconds after inhaling. That’s it. Mission complete. Holding it in longer? You’re just inhaling extra carbon monoxide, tar, and toxic garbage. Congrats, you didn’t get more high, you just got more lung damage. So no, bro, I didn’t “waste it.” My lungs just aren’t trying to file a restraining order.

MYTH: Busted.
Science wins. Stay safe. Stay smart. Don’t fall for street logic.
