Holding in Hits?

[Ziggy[]Star]

I've been token for a pretty long time now....and I always thought holding in hits got you higher. Then this guy came down for the weekend and toked with me and my friends and said holding in hits doesn't really help. Anyone know, truthfully, if holding in hits gets u higher?

Thanks in advance!

I always hold in my hits for a good seven seconds. Seven seconds seems like a good amount of time.

[whitewarrior]

yeah same here. but around 3-4 seconds for me.

2-3 secs should be fine, after about 5 secs ALL the THC is already removed form the smoke, no need for more than that

and that is fact.

Holdin in hits defeats the whole purpose of smoking and RELAXING...holding hits seems awkward around friends when your hittin the blunt for example , taking away the whole 'chill' vibe of the session...1

if your holding it for more than 3 seconds than ur not doing anything but killing ur lungs. there is no point to hold it longer.

I use to try to hold in the smoke for as long as I could because I thought it would get my buzz up. It did sorta. But then knowing that it's really bad on my lungs, I stopped and only hold in for 8 or so seconds.

man when you say it like that it just makes me want to tell you to go get your bong and some bud. and sit down and toke and see how much more high holding your hits in will get you. or see if hitting it then blowing it right out gets you more high. and then from then on you can smoke the way that gets you more high.



ahahah i think that when i hold in my hits for a whiile it gets me real nice and stoned

[nushaganazad]

now think about it like this, from now on when u smoke, ur gonna think of this thread, should i hold it in longer, or not. which is right??? well think about if u hold it in for longer, your mind is gonna tell u, u should be higher, and it might have an increased Placebo high. just somen else to toss around the ol sketch board.

holding in hits just makes me cough and makes me feel lightheaded. fuck that shit. i hold them for a few seconds but nothing that isn't natural.

For me, trying to hold in hits feels like it gets me higher. Because like the guy above me said, it makes me cough like a son of a bitch when I try to hold it. And when I cough, it always seems to get me more high. Now I don't know if this is fact or not, but I've ALWAYS noticed a difference when I cough my lungs out as opposed to taking a smooth toke, I get higher.

I don't think holding in hits gets you higher at all though. I've been hearing people say it doesn't forever.

Speaking of, the other day one of my buddies was smoking his last bowl with me, so he hands me the pipe. I take a huge toke, then cough violently, blowing it out at the same time. He's like "DUDE!, you're smoking all my weed! You could've taken half of that hit and held it in and gotten yourself higher!"

Fucking douchebag. I'm still mad about that.

i don't hold my hits in, but right after I take the hit, I breathe out until I see smoke come out then I breath back in. I do this a few times til all the smoke comes out. I've heard this is a good way to get higher as it stirs the smoke around in your lungs to get the most thc without just holding it in and dipositing tar on them.

anyone else do this?

I do that sometimes, because I've also heard the same thing. But really, I've never noticed a huge difference.
