Some things you NEED to know before smoking

[Optium]

It's come to my attention that many smokers do stupid things
when they smoke. Hopefully all who read this thread will
inform their friends about the stupidity of these...stupid things.

Let's get to it.
Have you EVER drunk bong water? Know someone who does it
and screams about how he's so much higher than if he had
just smoked? Well, if you answered yes to the first, don't do
it again, and if you answered yes to the second, you're friend
is a liar (or maybe he was just feeling sick and mistook that
feeling as a feeling of being high).
Here comes the truth of it:
BONG WATER DOES NOT GET YOU HIGH. THC does not dissolve
in water. Therefore what you're drinking when you drink bong
water is nasty tar and chemicals that you were TRYING TO
AVOID by using the bong in the first place.

Like to have contests of "who can hold smoke in the longest"?
Listen up, holding in smoke doesn't get you higher. The only
reason you may feel higher is due to lack of oxygen. Not only
that, but holding in smoke over a long period of time has
been proven to cause Vanishing Lung Disease, basically cysts
in your lungs. I know you don't want that. All the THC that is
going to be absorbed into your lungs is absorbed in roughly
2-3 seconds, so holding it in any longer than that is just
stupid.
If you need proof of this, next time you smoke, hold the
smoke in for 2-3 seconds, you'll get just as baked.

Damn, I forget what else I was going to put on here, but when
I think of it, I'll post it. Be sure to check back for updates.

I always hold my breaths 5-8 seconds because that's what I heard one time. I figure 5 seconds isn't that long and isn't much longer than 3 second in case there is still some thc floating around in there. It is fun sometimes to see who can hold the smoke the longest for bragging rights, but I knew that ut didn't get you higher.

I knew some day I was going to learn how to smoke..

If I hadn't read this, I'd be dead in a day or two!!!!!

Sadly the majority of the smoking population doesn't know
these things.

THC is "sticky" and therefore it is one of the first things to attach to anything including bongwater, which does contain a minute amout of THC, but not enough to get you high. Also 10 seconds of hit holdong is sufficient for all available THC to be absorbed, as it's "stickiness" wheich is really an electric charge means that it "static clings" to your lungs and is absorbed by the bloodstream.

Raising your arms during the holding of a hit can help because it helps expand the top part of your lungs and therefore allow slightly more surface area for THC to adhere to. I believe it also changes your blood pressure slightly, increasing bloodflow to the area of the lungs by gravity "pressurizing" the blood in your arm veins. If you want to see how the pressure thing works check out boyle's law which states that pressure increases in proportion to the height of a column of liquid.

[Golem-146]

Sammy: Dude just lift your arms.


Friend: Why?!?


Sammy: It gets you higher.


Friend: Maybe from smelling my arm pits!


Sammy: Whatever just pass it!

although this stuff seems pretty much like common sense, i know some stupid people. my brother's friend was telling me about this other chick who had been smoking for a year and a half, and still cant pack a bowl and light it. i couldnt stop laughing, but i was also stoned off my ass.

[Zylark]

a friend of mine have been smoking on and off for over 10 years. he still can't roll a J...

he can pack bowls though, but not when drunk

[brennano420]

hobo - I know plenty of chicks who can't pack a bowl, a few who can't even use a lighter and they all been smoking for a while. It's quite sad actually

[Locus]

so so sad *shakes head*

Yeah I know a few guys who have been smoking for 10+ yrs and still can't light the bowl fucking right. Instead of lighting a corner and efficiently smoking, these dudes will scorch the entire bowl every time hitting. There can be a flame coming out the top and they still feel the need to hold the lighter on the bowl the whole time they're hitting. Thats why I prefer to smoke joints with these fools because I just can't get it through their heads how to hit a bowl right.

[adamBC]

whats wrong with lighting the whole bowl? it gives a thicker toke. and seriously, how much weed burns away? maybe a .05 or something, it shouldnt really be anything to worry about.
