deep inhale or holding breath..?

do you guys think you will get the same effects of smoking if you inhaled deep from like the bottom of your lungs and holding it for like 10 seconds as apose to just holding the hit in for about 20+ seconds? a friend and i were talking about this a while ago and i forgot to post it. what do you guys think?

 

After I think 3-5 seconds, your lungs have absorbed all the cannabinoids they are going to. I inhale deeply, then hold for about 3 seconds. Anything longer than that, and you are just further depriving your brain of 02.

 

yeah, i never saw the point in holding a hit in for like 20+ seconds, but i thought it had to be more than 3. i usually wait like 10 seconds. thanks for the reply, man.

 

Yeah I think it's more than 3 seconds. I'd go with closer to 10.

 

yeah, id i had to bet money, i'd go with 10. i always go a couple seconds extra then what i think it is, just to be sure.

 

I really think I heard 3-5 seconds from a credible source, but I cant remember exactly.

 

If I can deal with it, I usually go with about 20 pulses of my heart. I don't know if anyone else gets this, but when I take a hit and hold it, I can feel my body shake with each of the heartbeats....but only when toking. Weird.

 

Generally, when I smoke, I usually hold in the smoke for about 5-6 seconds and then exhale. However, if I have high quality weed, I'll hold in the smoke for a good 10 seconds just to make sure all the THC from the crystals takes effect

 

Ive never counted it jsut comes naturally to me.....Im a pro.

 

welllll, I personally hold my hits for about 5 seconds, then my last 2/3 hits everyone plays chicago, and you get a nice buzz cuz youre not getting oxygen and youre really high, so its cool

 

a deep inhale and a long hold, just to be safe. hell hold it till it gets back to you if you can.

 

inhale and exhale the way that works for you.

personally I always deep inhale (goes back to my trumpet playing days) and hold for about 3-5 seconds although I don't really count.
