Does taking deep breathes and holding the smoke in really make the weed effects stronger?

I've heard all over the internet that it just puts more tar in your lungs, but so many people I know swear by holding smoke in as long as possible.
 
I believe that holding the smoke in for long is quite pointless, the majority of the chemicals are absorbed almost instantly. Maybe not blow it out straight away but holding for a second or two will most likely be sufficient. Just my opinion.

^ i wouldnt want to be holding any legal high in either.

Why do people always say 'if its not working hold it in longer etc' when referring to vaping not being effective
 
OP; if youre being a sook, why dont you join the hippy vapers group?


(expecting some posts about people crying i said that)

'oh its cleaner and you can get higher' how can you get higher? The high is way different & doesnt have any bite to it

so many people are pretty retarded

at 3-4 seconds you have absorbed all the possible THC from that hit

any longer and your just causing your lungs unnecessary damage
 
Salutations Cyberius,

I try not to ever hold any smoke: i vaporize!

Also, as i just tried to point out elsewhere last night, the VaporGenie allows me to relax at will between two successive tokes (in contrast to a smoked joint that would simply continue to burn once lit)... By the way, using this specific device i can garantee that those who like the toxic "kick" of smoke can still end their inhalation with combustion if they must!

One way or another i don't suppose it would hurt to ingest a soy lecithin capsule 30 - 45 minutes before inhalation and that's exactly what i've started evaluating on occasions since Christmass or so:

My guess is i should have a better idea how that works after a few months, maybe more, maybe a lot more. I'll have to find out for myself in my own good time (as i often do)!

^^ wtf are you a vaporgenie salesperson or something

evry time you post about it, it comes out sounding like an advertising spiel

as for the lecithin thats basically a waste of money if your thinking it potentiates smoking weed

it potentiates only with certain methods of cooking cannabis
 
Yeah wtf at your post. Whats the point of vaporizing if youre going to combust it anyways?
 
Salutations Mysterie,
Salutations YeahButNo,

...are you a vaporgenie salesperson or something...

The proper answer to that is going to be No and Yes: no VaporGenie ties but yet i like to actively promote vaporism when an opportunity shows up!

Euh... While i think of it... Isn't this web site dedicated to HARM-REDUCTION, after all???

So, i'd strongly suggest that all additional questions relative to my own person should be posted in my presentation thread, as one can naturally imagine. Right?

...it comes out sounding like an advertising spiel...

Maybe it's intended to sound as such.

=D

...if your thinking it potentiates smoking weed it potentiates only with certain methods of cooking...

I bought a bottle of soy lecithin to cook, actually. But i also happen to have read elsewhere about swallowing a capsule a while before taking a vape so i'll just try it and see what comes up anyway. It's all good should our experiences reach a same conclusion as that which you've share with me above, i only revendicating the sacred right to make my own mistakes. Oh and please don't worry about my money, i'm sure you've got enough of your own private problems like almost everyone else!

Life's too short. Don't be worry, be happy!!

Re-read as formulated and then you'll be able to post a question i can reply to, i guess!... But that's me, of course.

Allow me to refer you to our Bluelight User Agreement (BLUA), more specifically the 11th prohibited use of this public forum:

Advertisements are not necessarily welcome here (keyword: necessarily. If you've already cleared it then disregard this post in its entirety.) Product placement and advertisement take away from the legitimacy of this website as focusing on harm reduction. Granted, that was your initial reasoning for posting what you have several times but it was kind of dumb to imply that you're advertising anything around here.

I just figure I should try to educate a Greenlighter that shows promise before running them off by reporting any solicitation, price discussion or advertisements posted here on Bluelight. :)

Taking a bigger first hit will get you higher for sure. As for holding it in, i just find that my body sorts itself out. Sometimes i unconsciously hold in a hit for longer than others probably because i am more relaxed or want to get higher than other times if that makes sense. With Crack, i would eventually end up holding the hit it for a long long time, but crack smoke may be different .

I think holding it in makes a difference with weed, because it definitely does with other drugs. If i hold a bong rip in for 10 seconds then exhale into my girlfriends lungs (lol yep) then she still gets high, so there must be cannabinoids in the smoke even after exhaling which leads me to believe you can only absorb more by holding it.

The intensity is dependent on the concentration rate/time, so the only way to get a high with 'bite' as you call it, is by concentrating a large amount of vapor to be inhaled instantly, like sticking the vaporizer tube into a bong.

I actually am new to smoking weed, I've only really gotten high twice out of the 3 times I've done it. I just want to know if that is really true.

The most common way of using marijuana is smoking. Smoking is also the most expedient way to get the THC and other chemicals into the bloodstream. When the smoke from marijuana is inhaled, the THC goes directly to the lungs. Your lungs are lined with millions of alveoli, the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. These alveoli have an enormous surface area -- 90 times greater than that of your skin -- so they make it easy for THC and other compounds to enter the body. The smoke is absorbed by the lungs just seconds after inhaling.

Marijuana - How It Works


If someone wants I'll try and pull up hard data on this but I don't feel up to the task at the moment.

At the end of the day, whether a person chooses to hold in their hit boils down to a personal choice. Most of the beneficial, psychoactive compounds in marijuana will be absorbed by the lungs mere seconds after inhalation, but it's not 100% absorption. It's top-notch efficiency but not 100%. If you hold smoke in longer, you will receive a negligibly increased amount of cannabinoids than you would if you immediately exhaled as if you were breathing. The catch is that you'll be steadily upping the damage inhaling smoke does to your respiratory system with every extra second that you hold your hits in.

Also worth noting, placebo effects work wonders for making a user think something's going on that isn't, and the cognitive effects of oxygen deprivation is so akin to intoxication in that many people mistake it for intensifying their high.

That's what I was going to add to this. "You've gotta cough to get off" is a phrase I've heard countless times.

When I started smoking, I thought holding in my hit for 10+ seconds was getting me higher, then when I started smoking more, I realized I was just getting really light-headed. Now, I cringe every time I see my friend cash a bong pack in one massive hit and hold it in for 30 seconds. Hold the smoke in for 2-3 seconds and you'll achieve the desired effects.
 
Salutations Jibult,

Product placement...

Ah yes, i do re-use photographs without restrain so this could look like what you seem to refer to indeed. The thing is i simply found a solution that works for me and wished to share relevant information but perhaps there's a proper way to do that, so please don't hesitate to reformat this data if it's desirable/possible at all, so i get a better understanding of what's acceptable and what's incompatible with the board's goal(s)!

Relatively to coughing issues i've determined that my preference clearly goes to moisturizing the cannabic vapor so it doesn't feel as dry. The best results i got were from injection of a tiny amount of cold fog into the cannabic stream but i yet have to try with warm water vapor, actually...
