Kids Not Holding Your Smoke In

it sounds almost like your hyperventilating yourself and that's why you feel like you get higher. See, now what your doing isn't really holding it in, because your exhaling and bringing in fresh oxygen, which isn't the same as just taking a hit and holding it in for 10 seconds. Releasing some of the C02 and bringing fresh oxygen into the lungs helps with absorbing more. Once the cells absorb oxygen or THC they stop absorbing anything else until it can release the C02 and other things it needs to release.
He is. What he doesn't get is that its the friction of the smoke moving up and down your lungs NOT sitting in the lungs. You don't get higher holding your breath. And like I suggested in my first post, just hold your breath AFTER you blow it out because its safer, why wouldn't you want to do the healthier thing?

Not contesting the "healthier thing" part at all b/c i believe it is wise.

Does the holding in of a cough move the air inside the lungs creating friction? i would think so. Not as much as exhaling imo, but....?

Just thinking biology and science, not harm reduction.

if you want to keep doing it nobody is stopping you, you're not gonna convince the rest of us that are sitting here stoned as fuck and don't hold their hits in, we're quite happy with the way our lungs feel with the way we hit and the way we feel after, and science proves time and time again that we absorb the vast majority of everything we'd want to absorb in the first 3 seconds.. anymore than that is personal preference and not necessarily recommended.... you wont get so much higher that others will be missing out, maybe you get higher one hit earlier than others, big deal, I say take that extra hit and forget about damaging your lungs...

How does this make any sense, and who the hell shotguns hits.. thats like middle-school era..

you probably thing you're getting higher cause your brain needs oxygen.
i'd rather just blow out my hits and not hold that shit in and pack a new bowl then try to conserve and take the chance of getting extra toxins in my lungs.
psh

Lmao I told my friend yesterday while we were smoking he reminds me of a newb ass pot head who doesn't hold his hits in. Lmao he held his bong rip in for like 10seconds then straight out puked!! I already got the bong hand off so there wasn't a party fowl.
Im not complaining anymore haha, his eyes got all red and shit and he was coughing while spit was hanging from his mouth. I was lmao because the first thing he said was that he was more stoned then he'd been in a couple of weeks. We smoked like two and a half grams in less then 15minutes.

Im cool smoking how I do. Im not tripping on anyone.
Sometimes it is fun just to hold it in... 20seconds isn't too long. I mean Im able to hold my breath under water for maybe 1min 30seconds. How can 20seconds of smoke be bad? Also, when its too much thats when I like to breath with the smoke, Im comfortable with weed smoke instead of cigs. Im cutting back on those lately. They've been tasting kinda like paint remover.

Oh yeah btw I have a pipe too, im not always smoking out of the bong.

My wife and I had just enacted a "no exhale: policy since we're now at the red line down to 5 pint sized jars left and only 1 week left before goin' into 12/12 for this cycle. Holding in does work.

5pints? Maybe 2-3oz per jar? Only about 10weeks to go.
Even if you just wait until the bowl gets passed back to you to blow out, its a hole lot better then letting it out within 3-4seconds.
By the time someone gets the bowl, finishing what their saying then lights it a good 10-15seconds goes by(sometimes even longer!).
After 15seconds you can still blow out alot of smoke that wasn't absorbed! Thats why I've been saying its such a waste.
Good luck to you, making it through your growing period without running out of weed.

lol dude, just because you blow out smoke doesnt' mean there are lots of active cannabinoids left in that smoke..sometimes smoke is just SMOKE.

There is no point in arguing with you, cannabinoids are active in marijuana smoke. If there is smoke, then there is cannabinoids. There is even cannabinoids in the air when your done smoking. Probably not enough to get you high, but enough to alert the neighborhood that someones smoking weed.

your logic doesn't make sense either... that's like saying 100% of smoke is cannabinoids.. if you did your research you would know that only a certain percentage of the smoke is actually cannabinoids, and the lungs absorb 90% of that within 3 seconds... sorry you think that 10% is worth SOO much more that you're willing to shut down your mind towards the scientific perspective...

he is right according to lastest reasearch published the lining of the lungs can olny absorb so much instantly of anything so holding it in helps get you high but the lack of o2 getting to the brain kills cells...

Whenever I smoke with a certain group of friends we always hold in our bong rips till it gets back to us. (3-4 people)

What the hell? Now your putting words in my mouth. I never said once that 100% of smoke is cannabinoids.

My logic makes perfect sense. Same logic behind there being 20% THC in weed, if there is weed there is THC.

Anyone who thinks I am killing brain cells is pretty much retarded, some divers hold their breath for 2minutes+.
If im holding in smoke for 10-20seconds i'd probably be killing more brain cells with a shot of whiskey.

Exactly! Thats all i've been saying, is that the lunges don't absorb 100% of THC instantly! So in that case, the longer you hold it in the longer you get high.
