how long do you hold your hits?

Usually not very long, 6 or so seconds at most. I'd rather spare my lungs than go all the way to get the extra 10% of cannabinoids I might be missing out on. .

The longer you hold it in the more chance or lung damage. However when having a sesh with a few mates or w/e then generally longer, while I down some beer or something =D
 
Yeah, coughing pretty much makes the intro to my high just shit... so I exhale usually after about 5 seconds - unless i'm short on weed and looking to make my bowl last longer.
 
No longer than 10 seconds. To be honest I uesd to hold them in for as long as I could and I notice no difference in high...
 
Just realized I never answered the question. I generally hold hits about 6-8 seconds, but I never actually count it out or anything. That j's still burning, I'd waste more not sucking on it than trying to ghost a hit.

now i know a lot of people say in 5 seconds all the THC gets absorbed. however if you are a smart pothead you notice a difference if you hold for longer. i usually hold for 15-30 secs depending on how i feel.

and as we all know THC is not the only thing in weed that gets you high. is anyone informed as to how long the majority of other chemicals take to absorb?

discuss and try to sound smart

I don't have a source to cite but in a growing book I read that over 90% is absorbed in the first 3-5 seconds. After that it's much slower absorbtion up to 60 seconds if I remember correctly.

So in my opinion, holding your hits 3-5 seconds works great. You DEFINITELY do more damage to your lungs holding your hits in for longer lengths ie. 30 sec, 60 sec..

I would rather just throw a tiny bit more weed in the blunt than emark on like a two-hour mission of smoking a blunt by waiting 30 seconds between every hit lol.
 
10 seconds if im bout to choke, 15 secs if im not about to choke lol. i like to take 2-3 smaller hits at one time and hold it all in, so i dont cough. i have a pretty big lung capacity, but i find if i take too big of a hit, my lungs hate me for about 20 seconds after i exhale
 
I usually hold in hits for 10-20 seconds, which I find is enough to mostly ghost hits, which is good enough for me. It used to hurt but now it doesn't since I smoke like that all the time and smoke several times per day. I can definitly understand why people wouldn't hold in their hits so long though.
 
if it tastes better it will not remain in my jar for longer than the poopie..... if its good i smoke it up way faster than schwag just because i hate smoking schwag.
 
I've tried various amounts of times experimenting with this and my conclusion is that I agree with the above post a while back that lack of oxygen gives a headrush, but I find maximum effciency at around 7 seconds.
 
5-10 seconds when I'm thinking of it, otherwise just a few seconds.
 
You would all be amazed at how LITTLE damage you have actually done to your lungs..

Believe me if Pot caused black lungs and damage they would be parading them around on the news like no bodys business. But it simply isnt true..

Odds are over years of smoking you will do around 2-5 % damage in terms of capacity etc etc..

But the smoke is actually shown to have BENIFITS to the lungs etc.


So chill thinking your fucking your lungs big time, your not.

:-D
 
I forgot to add... (classic stoner move)

That i only hold in my hits for around 3-4 max... after that its just pointless ! And you are leaving the negative effects of burning plant matter and carcinogens in your lungs to do their nasty work. IF you chill and just leave it for like 3-4 seconds you will notice the high is the same and FAR less damage.


The damage is ONLY caused due to the properties of smoke..
