How long do you hold in a hit?

5-10 seconds.

anything after 10 seconds is a waste.

 

what do you think you're wasting after holding it in for more than 10 seconds?

i usually hold it in for 5-15 seconds.

 

i've heard after a set amount of time, there is no further significant absorption of cannabinoids into the bloodstream.

absolutely no idea if this is true.

 

I usually hold a large mouth full of smoke (some gets sucked into my lungs) for about 10 seconds and then I suck it into my lungs for 5 seconds and then I blow it out. Some times if I want to get that head rush feeling I will just take big rips and hold them in for a minute or longer.

 

I heard that after a while you only start absorbing more of the carcinogens and you don't get any more thc. I'm not sure how long this takes, but if you ghost a hit all that nasty ass shit is on your lungs now. I'm not saying not to do it cuz it's fun, but it is not very healthy. I usually hold it as long as I can also.

 

How long does it take for the cannabinoids to be fully absorbed in the lungs while taking a hit?

 

While I was on overgrow, I saw this thread that seemed legit, and it explained that the absorbtion of THC is almost immediate; if you hold it in any longer you're just getting more carcinogens. The rush you feel after holding the hit in for a while is just cause you're dizzy from holding your breath...

 

5-15 seconds.
And on occasion accidentally ghosting it cause I was so stoned I forgot to blow out
Once we did 4:20 bong hits and held them for the whole minute. =)

 

Is there any need to hold in smoke for more than a few seconds?

 

Hehe sometimes when i have the impression my stuff wont get me too high...I take the hit, hold it for 7 seconds, blow like 1/3 out, then I inhale again, blow another third, inhale again, blow the rest Im aware it could be useless though

I read somewhere after 3 secoonds in your lungs 90% of thc is absorbed, but people say so many different things we cant really know for sure

 

I hold it for about 5 seconds.

 

after 10 seconds, you've absorbed 99.9% of the THC. [approx]

 

I wonder where the .1% is?

 

The world will never know.

 

Well damn, I dont feel Im getting my money's worth then

 

I usually half toke half inhale air while I'm smokin', so I could and probably do hold it in a little longer than 5 seconds, but that's just me. It just feels right and I'm content with it.

 

let's stop worrying about it.

 

if you're worried about that 0.1%, then it would bother you even more to know that the vast majority of THC is destroyed by the heat from your lighter.... and never gets into your blood...

i do about 5 seconds and slow exhale. there's no reason to hold in hits for a minute.

 

you sure that its the vast majority? if that were true, wouldn't a vaporizer get you much, much higher than smoking?

 

I can usually feel when I've held it for long enough.
