Got into a discussion/debate with some people during a smoke session. Someone noticed I dont hold my hits in for longer than a few seconds and this other dude (who coincidentally is the no weed havin mooch of the group) held a hit in till his face just about turned blue:lol:. So I'm wondering, how long does everyone hold it in for?

I hold it as long as I can comfortably hold my lungs inflated without clenching my throat to do it... of course expelling before triggering a massive coughing fit, though. For me, this is somewhere between 3-5 seconds probably.

Vapor I'll hold a little longer, often clenching to keep from coughing because it tickles so bad...

thats hilarious, I think I've done that same thing before. The passing out that is, not the rapping. Although I think I might be able to kick some rhymes better than that dude..Biggie Smalls he aint

I think I heard the same type of thing somewhere along the way. I bet that would be another good thread. The myths heard along the way associated with weed and smoking. Similiar to like...If you masterbate too much you'll get hairy palms..:o

Holding in your hits does nothing people think they get higher this way, they actually dont you know why you feel a bit more buzzed when you hold in your hits?? Because you are depriving your brain of oxygen.

This is what we inhale
78% nitrogen
21% oxygen
0.96% argon
0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water, and other gases
It takes less than a second to absorb these gases in the lungs. The same goes for marijuana. It just takes another 5-15min for the effects to hit you. Come on people we learn this in High School, and I graduated 24 years ago. All you do by holding your breath is kill more brain cells
But for the fun of the conversation, I usually hold my hit 2-5sec, depending on how adventurous I feel. As I smoke 1-2 grams a day I dont normally care. But if it is my last bong hit, I will hold that shit till I am bleeding out my eyes.lol
Now u dont use all those gases, Here is what u exhale
78% nitrogen
13.6% - 16% Oxygen
4% - 5.3% Carbon dioxide
1% Argon and other gases
So depending on the size of your lungs you only use 4-5% of the oxygen you inhale. duh!

It doesn't take long. I just don't want this to happen again.
Hits the blunt (0:44) then hits the floor!
I thought he wasn't going to recover at all!!:shock: Glad he did though.

I hold it for a few seconds, but the best part for me is the slow lingering exhale and to me that is where I can really taste the flavor.

I have read, it only takes a sec or 2 for the lungs to get outa the smoke what you want, but there is more to it than just that, flavor intensity is almost as important as thc levels to me, cause if it tastes like junk, I won't smoke it, I gift it...lol

Peace

I watched a guy drop to the floor who held his tokes in because he was just about to go unconscious due to lack of oxygen! More than a few seconds is craziness!

nobody should be holding their breath more than 10 seconds when smoking weed. I heard it takes like 8 seconds for your lungs to absorb the good stuff in a hit of weed, so thats usually about what I do....5-10 seconds.
I would think it does get you higher to hold your breath for a few seconds with weed smoke/vapor in there, to me it seems like the more time weed smoke is sitting in your lungs, the more blood passes through your lungs with said weed smoke, and the more blood that passes through your lungs then the more THC is actually put into your bloodstream. But loike I said I heard this entire process doesn't take more than about 8 seconds.
idk, just my theory. I know when I just blow my hits out immediately, Im not nearly as hgih 15 minutes later than I would be had I given my blood more time to actually pick up the THC.
