Yeah like 3-5 seconds, thats how long the thc takes to get in your lungs..if you hold it for longer thats when the bad shit starts to get in your lungs..thats bullshit about the passing out thing

I hold it ranging from 5-15 seconds. Depends if I like the bud or not.

I thought about this when considering the 3 second thc thing..even if the thc gets absorbed in 3 secs, it makes sense to me that only the smoke that is in contact w/ lung tissue can be absorbed? So for big hits you might have some smoke that does not contact your lungs if you only hold it in for 3 secs? Maybe with big hits its good to hold it in a bit longer to let all the smoke move around/circulate in your lungs. But I never hold it for more than 10 secs either way.

I read that once it's in your lungs it's absorbed as soon as you start breathing it in...

But something about holding it in seems to get you higher.

My rule now is that I inhale and hold it in for 4 seconds and then blow out. I used to hold it for a lot longer but after I heard that almost all the THC gets absorbed after 3 seconds I just went by that.

Is there any benefit for holding it in longer than that? The first time I got really really high the people I was smoking with told me to hold it in for as long as I could, which happened to be around 20 seconds before I started coughing and had to exhale it. Coincidentally thats the time I got the highest and had the best high, but it could have been I smoked more than any other time and it was the best quality weed Ive had so far...Im staying with the 4 second thing for now.

A good thing to do is purse your lips when you exhale. It created pressure and pushes more of the smoke into your lung tissue... It's what they tell people to do with asthma inhalers..

Some of my friends hold it until you can't even see the smoke when they exhale.. I like the taste, so I'll hold it as long as possible too. I don't see any extra negative effects from doing so.

It depends on the bud and how I'm smoking it...
