ghosting

so is ghosting a hit (holding it in so long that when you exhale no smoke comes out) unhealthy?

 

Only in the sense that you are holding smoke (not the slang term - I mean smoke from burning) in your lungs for a little longer. We all know that the cigarette type stuff in a hit is not good for a person, But as far as the THC no harm done.

 

i didnt even know that was possible!! soo where does the smoke go, in ur lungs, like how does it just disapear?

 

I'm pretty sure it would be, for no other reason than toking past 5 or so seconds is pointless and only deprives your brain of oxygen...

 

forest, it gets absorbed into your blood. That's why its bad for you. Now, inhaling any smoke is bad for you, and ghosting it is worse, because ALL of it is absorbed, rather than just some of it.

 

not ALL of it is absorbed, afaik. some of it will stay behind as nasty junk coating your lungs, i think. same with cigarette smoke. thats what causes respiratory problems like a smoker's cough, and i think its the same shit that you cough up in the morning if you smoke a lot.

could be wrong though.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure absorbing all the tar in the smoke is hazardous

 

did you all know that the first 5 seconds of holding it in you absorb over 90% of the thc? what's the point of holding it in that long to get the extra 5-10% when you can't breathe afterwards?

 

i seriously doubt it's 90%, because i notice even holding it in 10 seconds will get you quite a bit more stoned

i'd be willing to bet it's 60-70% within the first five seconds though

plus you have to take into account that everyone's lungs are in a different condition. some people have more gunk in there than others....i'm sure it would affect absorbtion rates

 

That is about right on the percentage.The visible fraction of smoke is a function of both the solid material that it caries and the difference between it and ambient room temperature. The smoke cools quickly in your lungs and deposits solid material. The exact rate of deposit and adsorption is similar to the Oxygen Disassociation Curve. This comes down to the deeper you pull it and the longer you hold it the more adsorption you get. Both of the active form THC and related compounds and trash.

Therefore, you do get more bang for your buck by holding it in but you pay something in leaving more junk in your lungs. This is the same with regular smoking. The more you smoke the more you damage your lungs. However, a person would have to be a very heavy pot smoker to get up to the five cigarette/day level of damage.

Once again, however, you are smoking so you are doing some damage to your lungs.

 

its called zero ing out is what its called around here. i do it gets me wwwaaaayyyyy more ripped. and it saves the cloud of thick white suspicios smoke that can be a problm 4 some

 

that "ripped" is probably just due to the lack of oxygen to your brain

 

I only do that when i have a little bit of weed,but that's rarely



music&herb=fun....fun...fun!!!

 

so you're saying that someone who smokes a heavy amount of mj takes the damage of one who smokes 5 cigs a day? what's this i hear about how one joint equals the damage of five cigarretes? I hear that someone who smokes 5 joints a week takes the damage of someone who smokes a whole pack of cigs everyday. I don't know if this is true or not but it doesn't matter to me because i'm getting a vaporizer soon (volcano)

 

damn man volcano, i heard great things of those.. damn have fun w/ that man! seriously!

 

nah it aint true. based on tar levels found on gross plant matter, and not the bud that we smoke. the bud that we smoke contains considerable less amount of tar than tobacco.

however 5 joints a week can never equate to a pack of ciggs unless a joint had more than 25 the amount of shit as a cigarette.

anyone whos smoked weed and smoked cigarettes.. well can judge for themselves teh valadility of such a claim

 

and thats even taking a joint as being 1 gram joint. cigarettes have about 1 gram tobacco in them, and joints officially around .5 . if theyre talking about .5 joints, then its saying that weed has 50 times the amount of shit than cigarette.

 

The tar (the black shit in the smoke that makes it visable) is all now coated on your lungs when you ghost your hit, and thats why nothing comes back out... all that shit is absorbed to the lining of your lungs. The inside of your lungs act like a filter, it makes heavy shit stay, and anything else pass... well when you ghost, it completly left all the tar in.

So yeah, thats bad

 

What you hear is like crap - you smoke only a selected part of the MJ. The tobacco folks sell the highest percent of their crop that they can walk. They also use a ton-o-shit (chemical wise) to make it grow faster, thicker, and cheaper. If tobacco were illegal, it would probably be safer. They cannot tell lies about weed turning you into a mainline smack user in two days anymore. Today’s lies are all in the here is another hazard to your health we have found format.

 

lol! thats some funny shit!....oh wait, he wasnt joking? ahaha, wow, i dont like this guy.
