Bootcamp-QA: Will You Get Higher If You Hold In Your Hit?

[came2getbusy]

used to hold my hits for fun but now i just hold for about 3-5 secs same high either way for me though

[havinagoodtimefour20]

lmao it has nothing to do withe depriving your brain of oxygen, it all has to do with the fact you are keeping smoke in your lungs so long that every bit of resin is sticking to them, not great in the long run, if you can hold ur breathe normally then you can do it with weed in your lungs.

[spincen]

hold it in for 3 seconds and all the thc will be absorbed then exhale no more than that because it will do much more damage to your lungs

[Stiffoo]

i find that taking a full hit and instead of holding or exhaling right away if you try and inhale as much oxygen as you can on top of your hit then exhaling normally, it gets the job done the most efficiently for me

[guitarMaster666Poop]

Holding in smoke getting you higher ? Get that superstitious shit outta here. Gas-exchange only takes a second, if that. Anything otherwise can go fuck itself.

[sunsweetsuitable]

ive been in the middle of this argument for years. i believe holding works better. like i can get more smoke to every part of my lungs instead of taking a hit and immediately exhaling. always seems a waste and never gives that i got high feeling

[ayhoup]

THC is absorbed instantly when inhaled from what I have read, so holding it in i believe is a lil bit worse.

[reechard420]

Just inhale until you cannot possibly draw in more air, and exhale slowly. It works. Obviously if you hold your breath for an extended period of time it will make you light-headed. 3-4 seconds is all it takes.

[PhattBudz]

i hold my hit about 3- 5 seconds never longer

[REAPER3fitty]

5-7 seconds is all it takes to absorb the thc

[SarahLee1]

The reason why less smoke comes out when you hold it in longer (more than like 7 seconds) is because its being absorbed into your lung tissue. Def would not recommend

[Ch0colat3Cr0wn]

FUCK use to always hold it in for 6-8 seconds everyone smokes it like a damn cigarette then found out couple of weeks ago i didnt need to hold it that long, w.e

[SkateGeek27]

All I do is take a nice deep breath after my hit and then slowly blow it out.

[Kingace85]

of course you will get higher the longer you keep smoke inside, the exchange between the smoke and arterial blood occur after diffusion principles. trust me i know! the equilibrium constant varies for each substance that you inhale. peace and enjoy yourself from a medstudent

[BakedRangs]

I held my smoke in once I exhaled nothing came out, only thing different was a sore throat.

[smartpartssalmon]

and the reasoning they used at the end is the real reason why u feel higher for a few seconds after holding a hit in.

[smartpartssalmon]

[MrDaajman]

its a waste to not hold it in, take 3 hits and hold them in at least 20 sec each, then sober up and take 3 hits like smoking a ciggarette and watch i bet u will get high but not nearly as high, i remember moments when my stash was running low and this method helped me thru the rainy days.peace

[thatsfornoobs]

thumbs up if the recontamination list is all purple

[noobhealz402]

@thatsfornoobs What? Recons that are contaminated? You mean recommendation???

[thatsfornoobs]

@noobhealz402 i dont know what i meant!!! ahh mindfuck! i cant figure it out lmfao

[robbysharolaid]

These questions are so typical, people must be high while they ask these questions haha

[thatsfornoobs]

@robbysharolaid were ALL high, idiot.

[robbysharolaid]

@thatsfornoobs What got you all butthurt?

[thatsfornoobs]

@robbysharolaid Saying "people must be high when they ask these questions" implying stupid questions are typical of stoner's.

[robbysharolaid]

@thatsfornoobs Chill, getting mad is bad for your high bro.

[thatsfornoobs]

@robbysharolaid Never was mad.

[352vagrant]

I would like to point out something for the guy who described in great detail that THC doesn't block oxygen absorption into the blood, thats right. Unfortunately the not breathing part tends to/holding your breathe. The intended meaning of "oxygen deprivation" here is that you are holding your breathe while holding your hit. This is why you get people who smoke incense and say they got high, because between holding the hit and the smoke they deprived themselves of oxygen which gives you a buz

[FATYDECKS]

acually the brain can only obsorbe THC for up to 5 seconds, so holding in your hits for more than 5 seconds is wasteing ur time, but it feel good :)

[bigmike784]

@FATYDECKS what the fuck that was stupid. no because your lungs are absorbing more carcinogens and your body releases antibodies and gives you that cretin high. thats why edible high and vapeing high is different than smoke.

[FATYDECKS]

@bigmike784 dude u have no idea about what ur talking about, we could go all day, i work in the feilds of this stuff, i know my shit

[Kennedy1693]

hahaha these guys are peanut butter and jelly. They work so good together

[that9reenyumstuff16]

hey tang and chubbs can you tell me what auto-flower means?

[webjamin1]

get higher hold in ur smoke... and your not deprivivg your body of oxygen because the THC does not inhibit the oxygen from binding to the hemoglobin in ur red blood cells... if that were true u would die of suffocation in exactly the same way as you would die from carbon monoxide poisoning. only damage weed does is to ur lungs and thats only cuz its heated plant matter... god damn i need a toke

[KingKrimson89]

@webjamin1 Nope, I've done my research and you actually are depriving your body of oxygen; as you take a hit it takes approximately 3-5 seconds for the incoming THC to absorb into your system, while holding your breath for the excessive time period is simply robbing yourself of oxygen, which explains the more high feeling. It is not long enough to kill you, as you would pass out before you sufficiently suffocated yourself to the point of death. Get high, but don't be dumb about it.

[kdkb3]

@webjamin1

Your deprived of oxygen cuz you're holding in your breath

[khure420]

@webjamin1 marijuana does one other thing to you. you kinda touched on it. since you are holding your breath for so long it does start to kill brain cells from lack of oxygen. so dont hold in your hits so damn long. other then that peace,

[jimbabwe08]

@webjamin1 I'm pretty sure it's more of a placebo effect from holding the hit. Also I'm sure you get more fucked up by essentially holding your breath and making yourself light headed when holding hits, but I doubt it actually makes you absorb more THC...maybe like .001% more. I definitely agree that you won't be harmed at all by smoking weed...unless you somehow manage to light yourself on fire btw.

[brandon9491]

@webjamin1 hes saying when your holding in the hit there is less oxygen in your lungs for the hit. not that it keeps oxygen from going to your blood cells... scientifically stupid.

[IdiotsAmongUs]

@webjamin1

They're not talking about weed depriving your body of oxygen. They're talking about holding your breath depriving your brain of oxygen longer than a quick inhale-exhale.

[Menelyagor12]

@webjamin1 yeh but ur holding ur breath.. not breathing in, thus depriving yourself of oxygen

[TheJewishTank]

@webjamin1 Actually weed doesn't harm your lungs at all. There was a study done over a 10 or 20 year period where they tested to see the effects of weed on the lungs and people who smoked regularly and there was no evidence of harm to the lungs.

[footballpredatorx]

@webjamin1 ur depriving urself of oxygen not becuase the thc doesnt allow ur blood from absorbing oxygen. ur depriving urself of oxygen because ur simply not breathing becuase ur holding in your hit...

[mocslayer813]

@webjamin1 no dumb ass holding your breath for 30 40 seconds at a time does. But dont get me wrong i hold in my hits for as long as i can

[wearestarstuffsagan]

@webjamin1 when you smoke the weed you are getting carbon monoxide

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@webjamin1

"and your not deprivivg your body of oxygen because the THC does not inhibit the oxygen from binding to the hemoglobin in ur red blood cells."

Yes but carbon monoxide will stick to the aveoli in your lungs and lower your oxygen intake. Also, holding in your smoke longer than 7 seconds will cause brain damage because your depriving your brain of oxygen because all the oxygen in your lungs is utilized after 7 seconds

Smoke safely, smoke often

[CHRISTEN9844]

@AGeekWithAShotgun thats a lie geek people that smoke can take in more oxygen when they breath vs a non weed smoker

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@CHRISTEN9844

In low usage, marijuana smoking increases lung capacity

In heavy-usage, marijuana smoking decreases lung capacity

Don't argue with anatomy bro

[CHRISTEN9844]

@AGeekWithAShotgun thats bullshit bro and so is saying smoking can kill sperm thats bullshit

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@CHRISTEN9844

It doesn't kill sperm, it causes defective sperm, which is why I'll stop for a while whenever I decide to have kids

[CHRISTEN9844]

@AGeekWithAShotgun thats bullshit to an extent, and it helps you breath get high my friend

[TheMakut]

OMFG these two idiots don't know what they're talking about.

[SnowKid32]

"the oxygen is getting deprived longer. Either way, it feels better." Sounds like the same thing an airhead or junkie might say tbh :/

[805fillmore]

@SnowKid32 haha thats true and no offense to chubbs but he needs to cut back on smoking by a large margin

[greenballs69]

if holding your breath kills brain cells then swimmers have less brain cellls than stoners?

[coorslightbro]

@greenballs69 haha

[ItsTheTrickAttack]

hhahahaah fuckin chubbs.

[415Andyee]

either way its better lol

[DB73093]

I get higher when I hold it longer. It's fact...

[heymynameistyler]

i dont think holding your breath for 20 seconds is bad..... now 3 minutes yeah! prolly killing brain cells.... 20 seconds nahhhhh.

[icrynuxfire]

Takes 5 seconds for all the THC and CBDs to get absorbed into the bloodstream. And there you have it!

[pobrecode13]

the choking part is wut makes u get higher quicker,, becouse ur lung r expanding.

[ChinkEyesDaily420]

who the fuck cares? just smoke

[jakemann21]

holding it in for 3 seconds will get you as high as 30 seconds. as long as you hold 3 seconds your good!

[arob655]

no matter how many vids i watch i always try to exit out of their names thinkin theiy're ads lol

[Isaiahlikesutube]

braincells dont start dieing until being oxegyn deprived for 4 minutes. i would rather hold my hit and absorb all the smoke because your lungs do absorb more smoke and i think you get a better taste. by hold i mean 8-15 secs. not long

[jerodirwin66]

anyone go swimming? and how many brain cells are usually killed then? live life!

[ogloc360]

i could get high as fuck with 1 bowl pack of kush but it takes like 3 bowl packs of reggis to get me high

[Pewperboy]

I think it's more of a placebo effect when you hold it in longer, when in reality you're just as high but since many people think that if you hold it in longer you'll get higher, your mind plays a trick on you.

[95PONYBOY]

u dont need to hold it in....jus smoke alot of it.

[atgtaurus67]

umm the minute you cut oxygen off from your brain is killing cells...period. if you are going to argue with logic.. then you should prolly have your license revoked for being a dumbass...

[ikir14]

@atgtaurus67 you are a dumbass. let's think about this logically. if i held my breath RIGHT now without even inhaling properly, i can hold my breath for probably 30 seconds. that means without adding additional oxygen, i'm good for 30 seconds. NO BRAIN CELLS ARE DYING. now, if i VENTILATE a few times, then hold a fat hit for a measly 7 seconds, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO MY BRAIN CELLS. LOL.

[1993MrDrew]

Holding it in makes for a much more pleasant body high) it's not dumb!!!!

[M0EJ0EKING]

@1993MrDrew

and some brain damage lol

[Skata215]

I definitely do. Ecspeccaly when I take hits back to back to back

[gowcod123456789]

its just dumb holding it in

[ThatGuyAtTheBar]

The longer you hold it to higher you'll get because the lungs absorb whatever is in the air. Any smoke you exhale is smoke that hasnt been absorbed.

That's why they's "Ghosting" when all the smoke is absorbed and you exhale clear.

[weekendnachoz]

@ThatGuyAtTheBar

haha i used to always do this until i realized it doesnt even get you higher, it just makes you burn out faster.

[bigsmoke53]

That was quick.

[MrJuggalo1616]

i saw a documentary tht says it doesnt get you higher after 4 secs of holdin it in you just have less oxygen and get kinda light headed for a sec lol but dont forget bout those 4 secs:) lol

[TheGuitarNooob]

Lmfao! "but eather way.. It feels better"

Good shit man:D

HappySmoking!

[NewLeaf419]

think about how quickly your lungs convert oxygen into carbon dioxide. anything else you inhale into your lungs will be affected by this natural process in the same amount of time

[nickmartini413]

i think it gets you higher put more risk of bad headrush.

[dreameratw1]

2-5 seconds kid, research has been done no more than 5 secs

[foofan312]

dam if the theory that u get heigher when u hold in ur hit longer because ur brain cant get oxygen is true then those monkeys that were used for tests involving weed must have gotten soooo fucked up

[Potemtole]

lol this technique works just be careful, know your lungs limits. If you start to loose your hearing or vision, body goes numb head to toes replaced by an intense ringing of good feelings. (happens almost every good hit for me). I have very low blood pressure. But I think this is the best way to experience medicine that is so hard to get these days. Without much waste.

[EztremeAssassin69]

"well either way it makes you feel better"

Chubbs

[EricFinnerty]

Don't hold to long and make sure you use a REAL bong

[BMXkid7]

I just held a hit to test this out, it was out of a hookah and i think i held it for like 15 seconds and then the next thing i knew i was on the floor with a pounding headache and my hookah was spilled, it was fucking crazy. It felt like jesus kicked my ass.

[Diffle]

I also read that you absorb all of the possible THC in like the first few seconds, so I don't hold it in any longer than 5 or so. It's just unnecessary smoke sitting in your lungs. The only reason you feel more high is because you're depriving your brain of oxygen, if you hold your breath for a long time you'll get a head rush when you take your next breath.

[synysterxangel]

That's so bullshit. When I rip out of my friends bong, with every second I hold it, I can feel myself getting higher.

[Diffle]

@synysterxangel That's because every second you hold it in, you're depriving your brain of oxygen and that head rush is getting stronger and stronger.

[porscheaircooled]

I take about a hit that fills up about 3/4 of my lung capacity then inhale more oxygen 5 seconds later makes me hold it in longer.

[isteponyourballs]

u get deprived of oxygen.. I.E kills your brain cells. lul

[gangstag610]

I try to hold it in so long that it becomes a ghost hit (no smoke exhale)

[abcbamz17]

i dont think you should just inhale-exhale but 20 seconds isn't necessary.

3-5 seconds is perfect, or however long it takes for a hit to feel natural as long as you inhale legitly.

more than 10 seconds can also give you a weird ass head rush and i doubt that anybody really likes those.

[weelilboots]

@abcbamz17 I totally agree with you. you get 90% of the THC intake the first 3-5 secs of your hit. and all youre doing is killing brain cells keep your body oxygen deprived. not to mention totally fucking up your lungs...i dont know why ppl think its cool to "ghost" it. totally pointless in my opinion

[sammicseeyou]

@weelilboots actually the study that concluded that marijuana killed brain cells was a study in which government paid scientists literally suffocated monkeys with a gas mask of pure marijuana smoke that amounted to dozens and dozens of joints within 15 minutes, and the brain cells dying was solely because they were receiving little to no oxygen. Wach The Union it's a great pot documentary that pretty much discounts every single negative propaganda you've ever heard.

[MrBradshawbenjamin]

@sammicseeyou Yeah, but the CO in smoke actually does kill some brain cells. Vaporize!

[Jake4059]

@weelilboots

I just wanted to add (in the spirit of a friendly, classic smoke-session discussion. lol) I believed it was proved that smoking even chronic doses of Marijuana led to no discernible permanent damage to the brain. If you consider the logic behind it. We hold our breaths underwater, for some, minutes at a time, yet show no ill effects of brain cell death. Kids will often hold there breath in anger until they pass out! lol lung damage for sure though! peace! one love

[weelilboots]

@Jake4059 very true about the swimming part. but do you swim as much as you smoke....hell no. if u did hold your breath underwater as much as you held in your smoke then you would see side effects, peace

[7cl7]

@weelilboots u dont kill brain cells unless your sufficatiting meaning that u are blacking out because of oxygen deprivation so no u dont kill brain cells

[MrBradshawbenjamin]

@7cl7 CO does kill brain cells, which is in any smoke. Vaporize!

[7cl7]

@MrBradshawbenjamin Your right but you do not get enough carbon dioxide to suffocate which in turn kills brain cells. Its pretty much like going outside and breathing air. When we breath we breath in oxygen nitrogen oxygen etc. but it doesnt kill our brain cells because there is not an efficient amount to do so. but if it did why doesnt the government say that cigarettes kill brain cells since your inhaling CO2 right? You get me?

[MrBradshawbenjamin]

@7cl7 First of all, I said CO, not CO2. I was saying carbon monoxide, not carbon di-oxide. carbon di-oxide is in everyday air, carbon monoxide is not, or at least it is in extremely low quantities. It is in smoke, through, because smoke is actually made up of partially combusted particles. CO, not CO2, kills brain cells, and is concentrated enough in smoke to do so. It's not like breathing normal air at all. And the government wouldn't say that cigarettes kill brain cells because they(continued)

[MrBradshawbenjamin]

@7cl7 want a distinction between tobacco and pot. They want a greater contrast between the two, and more of a reason not to smoke pot without bashing tobacco. It's how big business runs.

[7cl7]

@MrBradshawbenjamin Exactly!!

[babyfcukerz]

@weelilboots

pot does not kill brain cells

[MrBradshawbenjamin]

@babyfcukerz Ture, but CO does. That's what's in smoke that you're trying to avoid. Vaporize!

[lotteein420]

@weelilboots other cannabinoids dude

[weelilboots]

@ikir14 dude language first of all. secondly its not the ghosting that kills brain cells. its the lack of air going to your brain. thirdly when you ghost it, all the matter from the bud stays in your lungs and doesnt get exhaled. And chubbs thanks for removing such an ignorant comment.

[DankFlyer]

@weelilboots you won't kill brain cells unless you hold your breath for about 3 minutes. Any brain cells that do "die" prior to that time, are the equivalent of dead skin cells shedding.  They "die" all the time during your daily life.

[IAmTheEqualibrium]

@weelilboots Lol umm your not killing brain cells untill you begin to feel light headed and shit, so you can hold it in for as long as you want just make yousure you blow that shit out before that I usually hold it for like 4 to 5 seconds and the longer the higher I feel

[SuperTilker]

@weelilboots your full of shit

[weelilboots]

@SuperTilker yeah im full of shit but my comment has been top rated for 8+ months.

[MrJesterLS]

@weelilboots

LOL please do you research before making false statements, in fact thc does get abosrbed within 5 seconds but it does NOT kill brain cells what so ever, weed actually have been proven to stimulate the creation of NEW brain cells, it kills cancer cells not BRAIN cells, holding it longer than 5 seconds is just allowing the smoke to acquire more Tar into your lungs after the 5 seconds has been up.

[weelilboots]

@MrJesterLS agreed, but tar is fucking up your lungs as i stated before. and too much = lung cancer.

[MrJesterLS]

@weelilboots People have been tested, tar from weed is different from cigs, they have over 6000+ chemicals which cause cancer, weed patients have been proven that they havent formed any sorts of cancer.

[bojangles322]

@MrJesterLS Omm, brain cells can not reproduce so... you might want to do a bit more reading yourself before trying to check someone else. If you are referrring to the youtube video where melamede speaks on regeneeration of brain tissue he is speaking about myelin production(insulatory coating of axons). Also in 2010 in one of America's most respected psych journals it was shown, via ct scans, that chronic use of MJ renders changes in one's brain that are considered negative.

[daiyved]

@weelilboots Your brain cells do not start dying until you have been deprived of oxygen for minutes. Not seconds.

[jkgodful]

yes you do get higher but no much 97percent of the THC you r going to get out of in its absorbed in the first 5sec than you get about 1percent every 20 or 30 sec you hold it in it doesnt get you that much higher

[jonnybaze]

"i think i do"is the #1 factor to getting high but no it doesnt get u higher,u can get light header.me and my friends used to give shotguns(i think thats the only slang word thats universal) but before hand croch down with our arm elivaded and breathe in and out quickly for about a min and then take a shotty slowly move up,till we were standing and we would get light headed,but 1 tie some one passed out and that was the end of that..........................­.dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[map543211]

hold in the smoke for 20 seconds then hit your self in the head with a ten pound sledge hammer it will really knock you on your ass, or just pack up the bong one more time and you wont have to worry about how long you hold in the smoke for.

[kkrops]

RIGHT I HOLD IT IN FOR A SLOW 5 seconds seems perfect but with vaporizer i hold longer

[runyonmark]

So i looked some stuff up. THC-9 is the fat soluble compound, it is almost immediately absorbed by your lungs.

THC is absorbed in the lungs within a few seconds. There is no need to hold in the hit any longer than 5 seconds. If you've ever heard that you need to hold the hit in as long as you can, its false. If you hold the smoke in your lungs any longer than 5 seconds, your only holding in the tars and toxins, and not getting any higher. Seems like sound information to me.

[Chrishaswings]

@runyonmark but holding it in for 1 second rather than 10 seconds doesn't give the cloud of smoke to circulate in your lungs because think about the THC molecules in the middle of the smoke cloud in your lungs, they aren't touching the walls of your lungs (which is where the veins that absorb the tetrahydrocannabinol molecules) so after that is said i do believe that if you hold your hit longer then you get higher because of more THC molecules being absorbed.

[havoc858]

@Henka44 lol I was exaggerating a bit that's funny u aktually tried it :p nah but at least tell me u felt lightheaded.. But u mite not of feltt too liteheaded cuz it's oxygen u were holdin in while smoke is foreign to ur body and therefore ( well most humans lol) will knw wat I'm talkin about..

[345stewma]

hey im holdig it in and im defo higher

[growitEZ]

i really dnt thnk it makes a difference, but it pisses me off when people swear that theyre so cool because they could hold a hit for ever, i can to i just thnk its stupid and even worse for your lungs.

[gearsofhores21]

you only need to hold it in for 5 seconds longer than that doesnt do shit

[psyborg303]

if i hold in a hit rly rly long i c stuff

[havoc858]

Yea I think after 5 seconds your just cutting oxygen and therefore killing braincells.. just my opinion.. U feel higher cuhz it's the thc headrush mixed with umm I guess lack of oxygen headrush,, try holdin in ur breath right now for 30 secs see if u don't almost passout and feel lightheaded.

[Henka44]

@havoc858 I just hold my breath for 1 min 30sec and didnt feel a thing, except for the need to breath :P

[markiemarkdown]

@havoc858 it is 7 seconds

[MrBudluv]

YOU DO get higher, the blood capalaries in your lungs absorb more THC into your bloodstream

[runyonmark]

@MrBudluv I've heard, a buddy that is into this more than I, said: If you hold in for 3-4 seconds fully, you've absorbed all the THC you can, and holding in longer is pointless.

[MrBudluv]

@runyonmark yes thats true that over 90% of the thc in the hit is absorbed in 5 seconds, but beware if you smoke tobacco products as in like, your adddicted then the process will be slowed slightly because of lungs being coated with shit, i dont smoke nothing but weed

[TrueAgnosticMetal]

i have proved it right myself. i tested this out and yes! if you hold your hit in for longer you will get higher. i remember i could only do one big bowl by myself at a time. i then tried holding my hits in for a long time. i could only do half a big bowl. and i got fucked up. ive tried is many other times and its so true. hold your hits. you will feel it better. even with mids i get blazed with holding the hits.

[willEum]

hood52crew is right... after the 3-4 sec of the smoke being in your lungs most of the thc will be absorbed. after that 3-4 sec your lungs start getting a higher percentage of the bad stuff in any combustion generated smoke.

[Hood52crew]

it doesnt matter cus once u inhale 90-95% of the thc is already in ur bloodstream within like 2-3 seconds....

[odetomort5]

I just wanted to thank you for creating such a great series of instructional videos. What you are showing is not only very helpful and entertainment, but also important. Thank you and keep up the great work. Btw Chubbs, I'm enjoying some Nuggetry OG at the moment, it's very very good. Double Thanks!

[mlbirdinground]

Hey guys...just thought I'd point out that your bongs are DIRTY!!!! My question is does the phenotype of a strain have anything to do with how high I can get from it? I mean should I be picky about a bud that is kinda fluffy but has trich's all over it vs. a compact dense nug that has alot of trich's on it as well? Whats the deal? Can you guys explain this to me? P.s I am MONTANASTONER on the reviews website.

[GuruBabadesh]

@mlbirdinground if you knew what a phenotype was you could answer your own question, just google phenotype

[mlbirdinground]

@GuruBabadesh LOL....that was a year old question man. When i first got my card. And no, that doesnt answer my question because both nugs are equally as trichy, and thats where the medicine is.

[OFnoReLatiON]

According to an old text book of my moms 95% of the thc is absorbed In the first .5 seconds or so. But hell with it.. I'd hold it in and get 150% :D

[NeeKroVal]

lollll starving for oxygen fill ur bong up with some chlorine water and letter rip u'll be on the floor for sure

[HugeBudHits]

ur lungs absorb 99.9 percent of everything that contacts them but how u get higher is that when u take a monster rip the only thc that is getting absorbed is the outer layer of smoke in ur lungs  so if u hold or recycle it u move the smoke around and alow other parts to touch ur lungs

[andyb616]

it does but taking big breaths in after you hit and holding is the best, as you open up your lungs so therefore you have a greater surface arse for the thc to be absorbed.

heres a fact i found interesting, after 7 seconds the weed smoke looses 30% of its "strength" as the tch denatures.

[unnervingease]

Should cannabis smoke be held in the lungs after inhaling?

No, breath holding does not increase THC absorption, but it does increase the absorption of tars.

Source: Iversen, L. The Science of Marijuana, Oxford University Press, 2000: Chapter 5, p. 193

[cdogcss]

i hold it in for like 20secs!

baseball it :D

[Rampancyy]

as long as you fill your lungs with the smoke completely, you'll get ripped

[SDCHARGERS619]

i hold it in for atleast 3-5 sec.

[YEE941]

I hold in for at least 5 seconds
