    Where you you stand on the whole how long you should hold your breath in.

    who thinkts the longer you hold the smoke in the more thc absorbed, and who is on the side that most thc is the smoke is absorbed within a few seconds?

    ive bee nreading a bit and new research claims that 90 percent of thc is absorbed within the first 2 seconds of holding it in your lungs, if that is true im just gonna start inhaling and exhaling, no use hurting my lungs anymore that needed.

    Same here.. no longer then 5 seconds... seems pretty pointless to hold it in any longer..

    I also heard the same information, that THC is absorbed by your lungs on contact.

    once it is burned, i will take a big breath for 3 seconds and hold for 2. it makes me think it works better plus it doesnt hurt me.

    i find i hold it in for about 10 seconds. but i inhale oxygen with the weed, i don't like steamrollers for that reason, its all smoke and no air! so i hold for about 10 seconds.

    I hold it in just a couple seconds before I exhale..
    I hold it in for longer when I get real good shit though, I dunno why.

    It all depends on what you use to smoke you're herb with.. With a bong, vaporizer, and waterpipe such as a hammer, you will be able to hold the smoke in for longer, because there hardly any plant matter left in the smoke. When I vape, I like to hold the hits for like 10-15 seconds, and if its super dank it feels lung expanding almost..bong hits, 10-15 seconds also..I dont smoke tobacco though, so maby thats why my lungs still feel great..

    i usually hold it until the weed comes back around to me when im smoking a group, but if alone i aim for 10 seconds.

    with some weed the i dont even feel irritation in my lungs, my lungs just feel really loose and relaxed holding the hits in.

    when its like that, i always get high as fuck of a small amount, and i do cough, not in irritation just cause it clears my lungs out of phlegm which probably ocmes from smoking so many cigs.

    thc is a bronchodiolater(sp?) so maybe thatwhy good weed always does that.

    Im very glad to see that others care enoughf about these things to know. Herb IS a bronchodialator. When you smoke Herb it cleans out your lungs. If you are a cigarrette smoker Herb will help you clear your lungs of the tar and other chems that the cigs give you. Cigarets polute your lungs while Herb, being the natural bronchodialator that it is, purges your lungs of the polution the cigs, and everyday livin brings you. -Please be carfull tho, dont mix the Herb and tobaco like alot of folks do. Do ya see how that would be real real bad? If you mix your Herb with tobaco, or if you smoke a cig rite after smokin Herb like so many folks do, your allowing the tobaco to MUCH further dammage your lungs. If you do this your actually using the natural bronchodialating powers of the Herb to allow the harmfull tars and nicoteens to go further and deeperr into your lungs.

    yeah dude. everyone i know smokes cigs after we get high, and i did to for a while but now i dont.

    cept maybe a light or a menthol, like 30 minutes after i smoke, cuase if not i will cough my ass off for one drag, i've puked many times from smoking a cig after weed.


    anytime cigs have been mixed into my smoking session, i puke or cough uncontrollably, anytime bud is smoked by iteslef, it clears my shit out.
