Does holding in cannabis smoke affect how high you get?

[LOGan1314]

If i hold in the smoke as long as i can till it's gone and i'm coughing my ass off do i get higher than if i just inhale enough for it to reach my lungs?

If the smoke is making you cough, hold it in your mouth for a few seconds before inhaling.

And yes, it does make a huge difference. People will tell you 5 seconds and most of the THC will get absorbed, but I think the longer the better.

We've had these conversations in the past. I think it's better suited for a number of our mega threads which can be found in my signature.

General consensus has been any longer then 2-3 seconds is simply depleting your body of oxygen, ultimately harming your lungs, although producing a more cerebral effect (due to lack of friggin oxygen and smoke where air should be).

I stopped holding in hits ages ago. breath in, breath out, repeat.

Anyway, UTSE as this has been discussed to death in the past.
