how could i ever will i find a higher consciousness if i don't count how long i hold my hits of weed.. oh no! my life is in shambles! I'll never figure out the meaning of life!?!?!?! :willy_nilly:
I see that there is a division developing here,,or several sub-divisions perhaps: 1)Those who feel it would rob them of their "signature care-free attitude" to hold a hit longer than a few seconds, regardless of any scientific evidence proving that a hit held longer results in a higher subject. 2)Those who are frugal to the extreme, hoping to eke every possible molecule of THC out of the limited amount of weed on hand, who accordingly, hold their hits longer. 3)Those who avoid thinking about it, lest they appear "concerned" in any way. (somewhat related to #1). 4)Those who merely wish to do the "right thing" by their pot. (somewhat related to #2) 5)Those who wonder why they ever opened this thread. 6)Those who purpose in their hearts to do more empirical research, proving "the truth" of hit-holding to themselves once and for all. (that's me. more research is necessary, though I pretty much have my mind made up, so to some extent, the "results" will be slanted in favor of longer hits. waste not, want not, as "they" say) 7)Everyone not covered in the above 6 categories, including Bill Clinton.
Ill take a number 4 and a number 7, with a small diet coke. In all honesty, I was just trying to get an idea if people were doing what I was doing. It's just cool to hear different prospectives from people
I've always wanted to know "the right way" to smoke. I only just returned to cannabis usage after many years away, due to sleep issues due to akathisia (google it). I smoked for many years, in my youth, and gave it up when I "got religion". I only lately realized that I have no personal issues of inconsistency with using pot again, being retired, and having a real-life "situation". But yeah, I've always wondered how to optimize the experience. Short of getting a vaporizer, I still am investigating "how others do it". I used to roll really well. I would today, but it just seems more wasteful to see all that smoke go floating away into the environment, instead of into my lungs. So, I've been using a small pipe, and taking small hits. I even have a medical "card" (sheet of paper, really), that I got a few weeks ago, but haven't yet gone to any "dispensaries". I'm doing the research first. It's really kind of exciting to be upgrading my knowledge in this area. I really believe in the benefits of cannabis.
I just smoked a joint reading this thread. When I hit the joint I began to scroll down, when I got to the bottom and let the smoke out.. I got a little high. I went over to the psychedelic bump, where some crazy mofos have giant signatures.. I hit the joint and scrolled down, and I scrolled down and I coughed, and I scrolled and held it...... and finally got to the bottom..
