Swallowing your hits

Anyone else do this? Whenever I take a big hit I try and swallow as much as I can before exhaling. Unfortunately, I have had several instances where I would burp up a good sized hit long after smoking, sometimes in the company of people I would rather not know that I smoke. Is it really worth swallowing your hits? Do you feel it makes you higher? Anyone else have experiences with accidentally burping up a hit at the burger joint or at home?

 

Why on earth would you want to swallow the smoke?

 

I've done it on accident... not too pleasent.

 

Usually when you swallow the hits you'll have to burp it out, or else you start to feel sick. My friend swallowed a hit, and started to puke, then his hit came out again and forced his puke out of his mouth. It was a projectile vomit. Good thing we were outside.

Don't swallow your hit, It'll make you sick. It's just not worth it.

 

Yeah.. I did that today.. it don't bother me though....

 

why would you intentionally swallow your hits? Although completely unrealted, my friend drank like 10 sodas and started smoking a bowl, and he puked crazy exorcist vomit all over the place. Man it was nasty.

 

none of that has ever happened to me. but yes, i think it does enhance your high. maybe thats just me, though.

 

it really is a stupid thing to do. why not suck the smoke up your ass, that might make you high too?


for teh same reason you dont swallow air when your breathing to hold your breath longer (though that might be a novel idea to store more air) you dont swallow the smoke. your stomach is where the smoke goes and your stomach does not digest smoke. it gets rid of gasses. gasses are bad. you can actually die from swallowing too much gasses, they can rupture your intestine if they get down tehre.

so in future, dont swallow it, it will get you less high than hitting your head with a rock.

 

It's called a ghost hit guys, and if you don't do it right it will make you sick. You are supposed to keep the smoke in your lungs for 30 seconds. It will enhance the high because the thc has more time to get into your system. When you breathe out after the 30 seconds no smoke will come out. It's all in your lungs and 5 - 10 minutes later you will burp it all out. Ownage.

 

no, he actually means swallowing a hit. if you burp, its not coming form your lungs. lungs dont burp, your digestive tract does. if your burping then you know the smoke wasnt in your lungs.


and generally you dont hold for 30 seconds caus thats past the point where your brain starts to panic and very slowly die.

 

I have accidentally swallowed some hits, I think that happens when you fill your lungs up too much

I would just say hold your hits in your lungs for as long as you can. That way you WILL get higher, and theres no mysterious burping going on.

 

not for as long as you can. after about 10 seconds, all the chemicals that your going to absorb have been absorbed.

 

bah, y would you intentionally swallow your hit. yuck. i keep a hit in for 5-10 seconds, and i don't tyr to swallow anything. wierd...

 

Well, that's strange. Most people I smoke with intentionally swallow their hits because they claim it increases their high. I suppose it makes more sense to hold the hit in your lungs, but keeping a good hit inside your body for an hour should help to increase the absorption of something.



Actually, I am writing this right now burping up smoke from a sesh earlier this evening. I've never heard of anyone becoming sick from swallowing hits, that just seems strange to me.



After reading all your comments, I will probably reconsider swallowing my hits in the future.

 

I always swollow my hits when i have a ton in my mouth. Usually it make so much pressure some smoke is forced out of my nose. Its a cool feeling too.

 

You guys are pathetic - why don't you get truly hardcore and take gravity bong hits hanging upside then swallow your hits.

 

LOL! HA ha! I don't know why, but I read this and laughed for like 10 minutes, I guess it was the mental image, damn i'm gigglin' again!

 

I've done it by accident and later burped up smoke to my surprise.

 

i always swallow it. that's how i was told to do the first time i smoked. but yea...yall are right..you don't swallow air, when you swallow it goes down to your stomach. ive never burped though.

i have gotten sick before after smoking, maybe this is why. haha you guys are awesome.

 

well if you dont burp it out then you prolly havnt really swallowed it? otherwise check to see if your farting smoke
