how long do you hold the smoke?

what do you find to be the best hold time? untill you cant hold anylonger or do you try to hold for say 15 sec before the exhale?

 

probably a couple seconds. not too much, but a hell of a lot longer than cigs

 

Till ya cough.

 

until i dont feel like holding it in anymore (varies from 2 seconds to who knows how long its been)

 

normally about 10-20 seconds when i'm chilling, i let it slowly drift out my nostrils and mouth and enjoy feeling it hit my head and rush around when you exhale in this way. you need to take a big toke to exhale a thick cloud over a period of about 10-20 seconds. when i'm having a quick spliff or smoking on the move, i hold for about 6/7 seconds.

 

more than 7 seconds = tar + other carcinogens... thc is absorbed in the lungs relatively quickly.

 

yup i'll give you that - in fact the majority of it is absorbed instantly. holding it in reduces oxygen to the brain temporarily and so when the weed does hit you it hits you harder. i personally hold in because the longer i hold the better the high feels and it makes my mind unwind!

 

i hold it in till i have to breath, the high is better.. for me at least anyway ;P

 

about 10 seconds or till it's getting uncomfortable, thats when the thc is obsorbed into the lungs and no need to hold in stale smoke.

 

enough time ...so when i exhale no smoke comes out....

 

If thc is absorbed so fast then why do ppl still get contact highs and can get high from shotgunning?

 

are they getting as high as the 1st hand smoker? no. they are just getting a little buzz from the few thc it has left.

and 10 seconds is not fast. holding your breath with smoke in your lungs is hard to do for so long

 

didnt say they were, and its not that hard to hold weed smoke in, cigs are a different story.

 

Shotguns are given with smoke that hasn't been inhaled yet.

 

if with a joint - usually about 20 seconds, if with a bill usually just a second or two

 

a bill?

 

I hold it in as long as I can.

 

billy, bong

 

Dude i had no idea it was bad to hold in your hits long! i hold them for like a minute! i will stop now hehehe and only hold in for 7 seconds

 

Do any of you like to ghost your hits? I do that sometimes. I mostly try to do it when I'm hitting joints.
