The optimal amount of time to hold in a hit is around 3 seconds, most of the THC is absorbed by your lungs within 3 seconds. Anything longer and you'll just be holding in tar and other substances from the combustion.

"According to Steve Liebke’s 2001 ‘A Cannabis User’s Harm Reduction Handbook,’ “Take small, shallow tokes or pulls. About 95% of THC in cannabis smoke is absorbed in the first few seconds so breath holding is quite pointless. All it really achieves is a far greater amount of tar being deposited in the lungs.”

that's what I figured tbh 8 sounded a lot like overkill I don't think people realize just how small ur lungs are, blow a full breath into a shopping bag its hardly any air space
