How long do you hold in a hit?

I hold for 10-15 seconds

 

I hold until my lung say no more, could be 20 seconds or could be 2 seconds, it depends on to much to say.(On the weed and how its smoked of cource.)

 

what is ghosting? and i usually hold mine in for like 10-15 seconds

 

Ghosting is holding it until there's no smoke left when you exhale.

 

i hold mine in for like,, 15 seconds, yea

 

oh shit .. were supposed to exhale????

 

the flame from a lighter is excessively hot (800 degrees fahrenheit?) and destroys the majority of the THC in the bud. and yes, vaporizers (200-something degrees) DO get you much, MUCH higher than smoking because they don't destroy the good chemical...

 

Can that be avoided by not having the flame touch the marijuana (in a bong or a bowl)?

 

...guys.

Just...smoke weed.

edit: I mean, that's what I do. You can smoke weed in whatever way you want, conserving THC or whatever. Personally, it seems like a bit of overkill. I mean, if you're REALLY strapped for cash, it might be a good idea, but I usually don't buy bud unless I've just been paid or something, and I'm fine on the financial front for a little while.

 

I ghost hit it all the time... but I started to slow down since I've spit up blood... and plus I almost blackout sometimes

 

Not reccomended to do ghost hits.. cause bubbles on ur lungs...

 

about 10 seconds, I think.

depends, actually. sometimes less.

 

Sometimes for fun i see if i can hold my hit till the bowl gets back to me in the circle....gets tough when you smoke with 6 or 7 people

 

I usually forget to exhale, so end up holding it in for more than 30 secs...I don't think the THC is absorbed instantly into your blood, otherwise the act of holding it in would never have come about...I think...i'm not sure...

 

i've never really timed my hits, i just let the smoke flow down, hold it for a while, and when it feels right, i let it out.it truly is a beautiful thing.

 

I'm with this cat.

 

im going to have to agree as well

 

thats how its done...when your smoking with people, usually youll get another hit, so i take the first hit, a big one, and just let it out when i pass it, the i can hack, couch w/e, until i get it agian, and hold that one in. coughing on the first hit, builds up the tolerance for the next hit. for me at least

be careful though, if you swallow you hit from holding too long, and you smoke in your parents house, youll burp later on, and your room will smell like herb, from all the smoke in your stomach. BTW... WTF is a ghost hit? is that when you hit the weed, and then take a deep breath?

 

Ghost hits are when you hold it until there no more smoke to exhale.

 

depends... anywhere from 4 to 20 seconds or maybe more if i'm able to. ..

eh heh.
