Does it matter how long you hold it in?

Ive always been told to hold it in and now its just a habit, but now ive heard that it doesnt really matter whatsoever.
 
I have always heard you should hold it in, too. I'm curious to know if it matters now, too. . . I hope we find out!
 
Sure it does. When you hold it in as long as you can, when you exhale you hardly see any smoke right? Your lungs supply oxygen to your blood (blue blood) that then runs through your heart and then to the rest of your body, including your brain. Pretty simple if you ask me.
 
THC is completely absorbed within 5 seconds of inhalation.... Sure you do get higher if you hold it longer, but its because of oxygen deprivation not the THC.
 
For me, its better to hold it in for about 3-7 seconds.

If i just inhale and then exhale immediatly, i dont get as stoned... But if i hold it in for a few seconds, sucking in more air, i get a bigger head rush.

This is right on the money. Been in the medical field work/school for years now had a 420 friendly professor last year in one of my medical classes. We auctually discussed this topic and this is almost excatly how he explained it to be. Hes been a Pulmonologist for 17 years so im gonna take his word on it :)
 
Ok so that answers the question right? Holding it in longer gets you higher. Rather its oxygen deprivation or more thc going into your blood stream. The fact is you get higher. Thats what we are all after.

Why is it I only see you when I'm watching King of the Hill? This makes it like 4 times in a row. Lol
 
You do get a little more THC into your blood stream which is why the high will last a little longer and might be a little stonier usually in some cases but this does depends on a lot of variable ,body fatn tolerance, amount smoked etc...
 
i use a medical inhaler for asthma. it directs me to "hold it in as long as possible, up to 10 seconds".

that's all i know.

Yes but the inhaler doesn't have toxins and tar producing property such as marijuana which your lungs absorb after 5-6 seconds. And im talking about the leaf material not the actual CBG, CBC, CBL, CBV, THCV, CBDV, CNCV, CBGV, CBGM, THC the stuff that gets you high has never been linked to any respitaory problems. One of the reason i mostly smoke hash still harsh on your bronco tubes and lungs but less impurity's.
