do you hold the smoke in as long as you can or no?

so just seeing how many people when they take a hit hold the smoke as long as they can before exhaling or do they smoke just like a cigarette? ive been smokin for about a year now but when i hold the smoke in as long as i can, i still cough, kinda seems bad. but everyone i smoke with just inhale like a cigarette but dont cough. although, im not sure if they get as high as me though?

 

i just like to hold my breath as long as possible for the hell of it. seems like i get more out of it, but that might just be my mind ya know...

 

I always hold my hit as long as i can without feeling uncomfortable, (maybe like 50 seconds at first, then after a few hits more like 20) and the I fridge inhale/exhale

 

no, not all the time. but i don't inhale/exhale as if i were smoking a cigarette, a little but longer than that. sometimes i'll hold it in until i get lightheaded, but that's only if i'm that fucked up that i can't remember i'm holding my breath

 

no.. its not needed.. 5sec is plenty nuff for absorption

 

not usually.. unless i'm hitting good weed?

 

Once I was really high and I lay on my bed and tried seeing how long I could hold my breath for. I believe the record I had was 1 minute because I couldn't feel the burning from when you run out of breath. Then I woke up the next day with vomit all over my chest. The lesson to be learned here is to not eat week-old Taco Bell.

 

i usually take the bong hit, sit for a second or two, pass the bong, then slowly outhale through nose and mouth

 

I hold it in... gets you higher.

 

No it doesn't.

You only need to smoke it like a normal cigarette, which is more than enough time to absorb everything you need.

Coughing supposedly can make you higher as well, but its because of blood flow (like when you get lightheaded from hard coughing not-high)

 

depends. its if its good and im conservin ill prob hold it in for a while but if i got plenty of bud ill just hold it for 5-10 secounds.

 

I usually hold my hits for 5-10 seconds. I used to hold each hit in for 30sec or so but realized it didn't add much of an effect except for me being lightheaded due to oxygen deprivation. Plus I would like to see someone milk a good-sized bong and hold their hit in for 30 sec, they would be coughing their ASS OFF.

 

I usually hold it for about 5-10 seconds,
Seems to be enough to do the trick,
Unless I'm only having 1 or 2 tokes, then I'll hold it in longer.

 

after around 5 seconds the thc's already been absorbed and as far as i know holding it in any longer just absorbs more harmful chemicals in the smoke which weakens the thc being absorbed, i used to hold it in for around 30 seconds before though and really its just nicer to hold it in for 5 seconds, better for you, no lack of oxygen and gets you just as stoned if not more so

 

i can hold a hit as long as i can hold my breath but usally only like ]5 or 10 secs

 

thats pretty shoddy breath-holding....

 

I always hold it in as long as possible. This is the way I learned, so I will continue doing it this way.

 

i usually count to 5 then exhale slowly. our lungs are amazingly efficient at absorbing THC. around 97% of all the THC is absorbed at the 5 second point or so, any longer isn't doing anything besides hurting your lungs.
