how long do you hold your hits?

3-5 seconds.

I've found no definitive source that has convinced me that holding for TOO long is important, or the opposite, so I simply hold long enough to get a good taste of the weed and time to feel out the hit, then I slowly breathe it out.
 
Back in the 70's you had to hold it in for long as the THC levels were so low. Nowadays we are trained to hold it in from our forefathers of cannabis past and we just carry on the tradition.

Honestly some good modern smoke hits so fast I dont usually worry about holding too long. I still get high :)
 
thomwin, when you smoke all day every day the loss of cannabinoids has quite an economic impact.
 
Depends how much weed I have, if I have a few grams just 5 seconds or so, but if it's the last of a bag I hold it in for as long as I can.
 
i normally go 5 - 7
i heard on the NORML show just the other day dr. earleywine saying that 3 seconds is enough..
since then i have been trying taking bigger faster rips.. and i'm stoned enough that i typed that last sentence like 3 minutes ago.. lol.. ;)

BUT I REALLY DON'T WANNA...

ok enough.

I generally don't try to keep count of how long I hold it. Whenever I toked in my room, I'd hold it longer or until I saw there was nobody outside that might happen to see me blow out a sploof.

Otherwise, it's usually less than ten seconds, I'd say on average about five seconds.
 
4-5 seconds and you basically get full effects, no need to ghost boys although sometimes i do ghost and i may actually get 10% higher but for every day smokin i wanna keep my lungs in somewhat shape, so i will miss out on that 10%

I don't really hold it at all. I remember doing that when I first started but, I don't really think it does anything worthwhile. I get the logic behind it but, in the circles I smoke in no one holds it in and we get high no problem. The whole act of holding it in as long as you can is just unnecessary but, that's just my. 02

Me too. I don't get any more high when holding in lungs full of smoke till I choke to death than just inhale and exhale prolly only holding in for few seconds. I smoke good green so I am gonna get high regardless.

I have to say that the increase in potency is definitely there but not quite what people think it is. Weed is about twice as potent on average, but superstrains were around then for sure, just not quite as widely available. Either way, THC is apparently absorbed very rapidly into the lungs, and after about 3-4 seconds you only stress your lungs and reduce their elasticity.

Of course, I can no longer source this :(
 
About 5-7 secs? enough time for the smoke to reach the bottem of my lungs, the only noticable difference for holding in hits longer for me, was a fatter head rush and that isn't always nice ;)
