How long do you hold the smoke from grass in your lungs?

(That's you, personally.)

As long as I can.

As long as I feel like it. Depends on how stoned I'm going to get.

In smoking games I could always hold it in until the pipe made its way back to me (Up to a minute I guess). But when I'm smoking casually just a few seconds.

Depends on how high i feel like getting at the time at least 15 seconds for shure but longer if i want.

HIT BONGS NOT KITTENS

A few seconds....I doubt that holding it longer gets you much higher, it probably just makes you cough more.

doesn't it take about 40 seconds for all of the thc to be absorbed into your lungs?

90%+ of the THC is absorbed into the bloodstream in the first 3 seconds. The resulting oxygen deprivation from holding it in can enhance the high though. Blowback squeezees for all.

I'm pretty sure you're right on that, but...what's your source? I might need to quote it someday.

And what's a "blowback squeezee?"

I really don't remember my source sorry! As for the blowback squeezee...well the blowback is when the joint is turned around and blown through, into another person's mouth. Some people call it a shotgun.

The squeezee is when another person squeezes the smoker's chest while they hold a breath until they pass out or exhale. For extra effect someone often pushes on the chest from the front while another squeezes the diaphragm upwards.

Enhance the high? Oxygen deprivation is nothing like being stoned IMHO. I hold it in for about 5 seconds or so to 10.

If one hit doesn't do it for you, you'll probarly take another regardless of how long you are able to hold it in.

To get HIGHER, just take BIGGER hits, this can be trained.

until i cum :P

As long as I can because sometimes I start to cough and i can't hold it in.

Sorry about my choice of words 6C. It makes sense almost in my mind. Holding the hit for longer does have some effect though.

if it isnt nuggets then 4 or 5 secs,if its nugs then about 10 or 15.

A couple seconds....

It doesn't get you higher if you hold it in forever.

But it makes you look like a big man! Until you collapse on the floor.

i readsomewhere that after 5 seconds, almost all THC is gone from the smoke, meaning its pointless to hold it in longer.

Which is a great thing, since brain cells start dying at 6-7 seconds.

i hold in till i cant do it any longer...

but thats only if im with other people .....

but if im alone then i just hold it in for 5 sec. i heard that thats as long as it takes

accually brain damage starts occuring at about 2 minutes and a half of no oxygen.

at about 5 seconds all the oxygen in youre lung has turned into carbon dioxide

I fing the{3/4 seconds and allthc is absorbed" intriguing, But I must have DOCUMENTATION!

I only hold it in for about 5 seconds, but it really doesnt matter, because smoke stays in your lungs even after you exhale. If you dont believe this, think about a time when youve burped and had smoke come out of your mouth, even like a minute after your last hit.

i take big hits so i can only hold it for like 8 seconds.

yea, 5 sec. sounds about right....unless you want to be big an mocho and impress the women...

There's so many stupid drug myths surrounding weed that it makes my head spin. I don't know where people got the idea that most of the THC is absorbed in 3 seconds (I've heard that High Times said so, but where the fuck do you get information on that? The government doesn't fund studies like that and who would bother doing it themselves?)

I'm pretty sure that the longer you hold it the higher you get. Still though, I used to be all hardcore and I'd hold it till I coughed my ass off, but really, there's not a whole lot of difference between doing that and just holding it for 5 or 7 seconds or so.

Really I just prefer not to hurt my lungs so I let it out quicker.

If it's a small toke I'll hold it really long, but if I'm hitting some huge bong I like it smooth so I hit it huge and blow it out in a few seconds. This way the harshness of all that smoke is covered by the water. I find if I hold bong tokes for a long time they really hurt my lungs and the water doesn't help that much. But if I blow them out fairly soon, it's so smooth and nice.

I dunno though, if I was a yankee and had shitty weed that could cost me jail time, I'd be more inclined to make the most of it. As it is, living in Vancouver, I'm not too worried about getting 110% of the THC out of every bud. I'd prefer to just enjoy it and be wasteful.

Ass long as I can!

well, i believe in getting everything out of my grass, since im a cheap bastard, so i (1) smoke water pieces and (2) i hold the smoke until i start to get those black and white swirly things on the edge of my vision...they come riught before you pass out.
