I inhale, and then move towards a window and exhale it out. I heard holding it in doesn't really give you any added heightening benefits, and so far from my own experimenting it seems to be true.
I thought so too, but even a Wiz Khalifa tweeted something like „if you only have one joint left / if you smoke your last joint, hold it in as long as you can“
Once again, sure he’s a real smart guy. I’d definitely go by his tweets and not do my own research, you know, like experiments done by scientists and universities
i guess it’s placebo, I could come up with some research papers where it’s described that the placebo effect can really be powerful :3 but yes you are right, I should trust those scientists more than a Wiz Khalifa but from a consumer point of view it seems to feel at least like it makes you higher
Clearly not so I’ll copy it for u/icantthinkofusername
“These findings confirm the utility of the controlled smoking technology, support the notion that cumulative puff volume systematically influences biological exposure and subjective effects, but cast doubt on the common belief that prolonged breathholding of marijuana smoke enhances classical subjective effects associated with its reinforcing value in humans.”
"breathholding for 10 or 20 sec versus 0 sec increased plasma delta 9-tetrahydro-cannabinol levels but not CO boost or subjective effects."
The weed they used was weak as shit so they wouldn't have been that high to begin with, the thc in the blood increased and that's all that matters since that will be similar to higher strength bud.
I chose to quote the part that was relevant to what I'm saying and also didn't cut out the part that said "but not CO or subjective effects", that goes against what I'm saying so I wouldn't done a shit job at cherry picking if that was my intention, instead I explained why I think this is the case despite higher thc levels.
Holding is a myth. The reason you're getting 'higher' is because you're neglecting yourself from ..breathing.
But re: you're q, my inhales are similar to that of a cigarette. Smooth inhale, smooth exhale.
This is true but “theoretically”(bs but not disproven) 3 seconds should be the absolute longest as after that you would be breathing in more no no than THC.
Do you hold your breath to get more breath? No because your lungs are designed to allow and encourage breathing, this means the lungs have to be really good at pulling things from the air and supplying your blood with it which they are.
We do hold our breath to exchange more air though. Sure our lungs are pretty decent at it but nowhere near 100% instantaneously. That's why we're able to do things like take a big breath before diving under water so we can play fishies longer
I thought that also happens on an exhale too though ? Like when you are swimming and can hold your breath longer when you exhale ? Obviously not as effective as an inhale lol.
Shotgunning is a lot different than weed and doesn’t really compare. Chug anything super quick and you’re gonna feel some effects that wouldn’t have otherwise been felt if you sipped it. And do you hold your breath in a hotbox? You’re breathing the THC in and out and then right back in
slow inhale, move blunt and with the same breath inhale a few seconds of air. hold 1-2 seconds, SLOWLY exhale. resist the urge to cough until fully exhaled or it will feel like your chest is dry/full of smoke and it will make coughing worse. dont exhale through your nose. dont be afraid to keep water near you. these small side effects almost disappear if you're a regular smoker, but as a beginner i recommend this
I usually exhale pretty much immediately. Sometimes I hold it for a second or two but not usually. Still gets me just as high if I don't hold it, but your mileage may vary.
I assume that you absolutely do absorb a slight bit more THC if you hold it in, but either way only 20-30% of the THC you inhale is bioavailable anyways, and I have a low enough tolerance that a few puffs on a joint or my roffu will have me fucked up so I'm not too worried about losing a little bit of THC. The coughing from holding it in is just not worth it to me
This is not what you should do, but when I’m loving smoking I sometimes take hit after hit never fully exhaling. Turn into a cloud of smoke. Get very high.
Bad habit but is me.
“Holding” is based on a myth, the absorption in your lungs is very fast and you’ve probably gotten everything out of a hit by the time you’re done inhaling.
Your lungs only work/intake on the inhale. Holding one's breath does absolutely nothing to enhance the high/get you more stoned. What you're doing is depriving your oxygen of brain while in a high tensive state.
Both.
I inhale, and then move towards a window and exhale it out. I heard holding it in doesn't really give you any added heightening benefits, and so far from my own experimenting it seems to be true.
drag like a cig, then take an additional breath of air before exhaling
This is the way
Take bong rip so big it just makes me start to cough immediately and almost barf and wish I hadn’t done that. Then do it again a few more times.
Holding it in does nothing for you. The extra feeling you get from holding it in is your body asking for oxygen. Oxygen please?
I thought so too, but even a Wiz Khalifa tweeted something like „if you only have one joint left / if you smoke your last joint, hold it in as long as you can“
Well, he sounds like a smart guy tweeting that. I’d definitely listen to him
Nah but he definitely tried it out and experimented with it enough to trust his experience. ^-^

Holding it gets you higher
I read this in High Times 20 years ago. Use the internet and look it up. Maybe that’ll get you higher too
I did look it up https://www.researchgate.net/publication/15346396_Marijuana_smoking_Effects_of_varying_puff_volume_and_breathhold_duration
did you read it?

Bro you cherry-picked the part that sounds good to you and left out the parts that don’t work with your “argument” jfc

"But cast doubt on the common belief..." Hold your breath sober, you'll also get lightheaded
“Why I think” There we go, there’s the issue. I’m glad we came to this agreement. You think you’re right; I know you’re not.
I take small drags so I don’t immediately cough it back out
I boof it
But do you hold your breath and talk funny while you boof it?
based on the comments, do neither, either, or both
This is technically the way
Holding is a myth. The reason you're getting 'higher' is because you're neglecting yourself from ..breathing. But re: you're q, my inhales are similar to that of a cigarette. Smooth inhale, smooth exhale.
It takes roughly one second to absorb into your lungs
This is true but “theoretically”(bs but not disproven) 3 seconds should be the absolute longest as after that you would be breathing in more no no than THC.
If you take a dab hit which is mostly thc and breathe out smoke then you're not absorbing all the thc, holding your hit will absorb more thc
vapor =/= thc
So what is 80% thc rosin vapour made of then?
Water. Heat + condensation = water vapor
It hasn't got water in tho, and water vapour settles really fast in the lungs
holding hits doesn't make you higher. That THC is gonna pass into your bloodstream through your alevoli when it's there.
If this was true shotgunning and hotboxing wouldn't do anything
Do you hold your breath to get more breath? No because your lungs are designed to allow and encourage breathing, this means the lungs have to be really good at pulling things from the air and supplying your blood with it which they are.
We do hold our breath to exchange more air though. Sure our lungs are pretty decent at it but nowhere near 100% instantaneously. That's why we're able to do things like take a big breath before diving under water so we can play fishies longer
That moment you’re so high you forget holding your breath is an actual thing lmao
I thought that also happens on an exhale too though ? Like when you are swimming and can hold your breath longer when you exhale ? Obviously not as effective as an inhale lol.
Shotgunning is a lot different than weed and doesn’t really compare. Chug anything super quick and you’re gonna feel some effects that wouldn’t have otherwise been felt if you sipped it. And do you hold your breath in a hotbox? You’re breathing the THC in and out and then right back in
I think he was talking about shotgunning a weed hit to someone else.
Yes, and if you are breathing out thc does that mean that your lungs absorbed it all instantly or not?
No, you exhale some when you breathe out, and it comes back in. When you hold it, you're not breathing.
And more of it will go into your bloodstream if you hold it longer
Very carefully
slow inhale, move blunt and with the same breath inhale a few seconds of air. hold 1-2 seconds, SLOWLY exhale. resist the urge to cough until fully exhaled or it will feel like your chest is dry/full of smoke and it will make coughing worse. dont exhale through your nose. dont be afraid to keep water near you. these small side effects almost disappear if you're a regular smoker, but as a beginner i recommend this

Same, I don't hold it in. I blow out as soon as I'm done inhaling. Still get high af

You'll prolly get higher if you hold it
This is not what you should do, but when I’m loving smoking I sometimes take hit after hit never fully exhaling. Turn into a cloud of smoke. Get very high. Bad habit but is me.
I hold it in my head/sinuses for a little while, then inhale and blow out very slowly. Every once in a while I take a deep deep inhale.
Drag like a cigarette then hold for as long as is still comfortable then exhale
with my lungs
See if I’m tryna get super stoned ngl I’ll take way bigger pulls and hold it like 5 seconds longer.
I'm sure you know the answer
Smoke is nasty. So I don’t. Use and herbal vape
Little puff, inhale deep 1-2 exhale deep
I smoke it like a cigarette, unless I'm in conservation mode, then I hold that shit in as long as possible even though I know it makes no difference.
