I herd that after 10 seconds of holding the smoke in that all the thc is absorbed by your lungs? Is it true? HmHmHmHmHm
I saw the results of a test/survey that some marijuana site did a while ago. I think the results said something about in 5 to 8 seconds, all THC is absorbed, and the only thing that happens after that is the extra tar in the smoke absorbs into your lungs (not cool). Again, I don't know how reliable the survey was, but I remember seeing something like that. I still get pretty high and I blow my smoke out quick, so ...
Its impossible for it all to have been absorbed methinks, but the amount that hasnt been absorbed is negligable after around 5 seconds id say
ever look at your pipe after a good toke? yeah, that shit forms in your lungs too. to bad you cant scrape them...
It really depends on your lungs. You know that warm, tingling feeling you get in your lungs when you hit? That's the THC absorbing; when it subsides, exhale.
of course there's tar in jane... it's a chemical reaction called fire and part of the stuff that it forms is tar. I don't believe you can feel the thc absorbing... sounds like nonsense but I'll try feeling it
thc is the chemical in weed that makes u high, u gronk and yeh insane jester as floris said, if you burn anything, youll get tar, tar is jsut a generic name for hydrocarbons isnt it? And i dont think tar is put in cigarettes at all.. if you open a cigarette its not like the leaves are all sticky and stuck together. i would have thought tar would jsut hinder the cigaretttes burning, which is undesired.
Hay! I just smoke the stuff, Just cause I smoke sumthin' don't mean I do THAT much reasearch into it...
Gimme a break. Is 95% of all the oxygen you inhale absorbed EVER? No- only about 20% WITH a breath. Unless you HOLD IT LONGER- than a much higher % is absorbed. A normal breath is every 10 seconds or so- but you can hold your breath for up to 3 minutes or more, ABSORBING MORE OXYGEN FROM YOUR intial LUNG FULL THE WHOLE TIME.
I understand your point, but we're not talking about oxygen, but about THC... oxygen doesn't get you high...
tetrahydrocanabinol.. one of the two active ingrediants in marijuana thats gets u high theres another chemical that is mostly in sativa, caled cbd i think and the balance of the two is basiacly what differs the high of a sativa/indica, a mind high or a body high. and i hear that like right wen u inhale since its hotter that the largest amounts of thc/cbd are released the fastest( first 5 secs). soo takeing if u just hold the smoke in longer ur just wasting time.. doing a hole bunch of quick hits will get u more high then a few slow hits.
about the lung shit.... wont your lungs gett better say if u stop smokin wont they return to normal, same with smokin mary right?
i had to stop for about 3 months and i dont think tis posible for them to regenerate or get any better really. but i did notice that u do gain quite abit of lung capacity back and that it tends to feel beter when u breath....
