    So I've heard rumored around here that it's bad for you to hold cannabis smoke in your lungs for more than roughly 5 seconds. True or False?

    Thanks GC! :smoke:

    Obviously, it is. Not near as bad as tobacco smoke, though. Fuck Cigarettes.

    After about 6-8 seconds your body has gotten as much of the THC as possible. Anything after that is just fucking up your lungs for no reason. You may feel like you get higher but that's just because you're getting light headed from holding your breath.

    Majority, if not all is absorbed by your body within 5 seconds of inhaling. Basically, you want to inhale and hold it long enough (I just hold between 3-5 secs) so the thc is absorbed, and that you can exhale the SMOKE.

    Holding it in for long periods of time is fucking stupid because you're not getting any "more" thc, you're just allowing the tar and other carcinogens to stay in your lungs. Not only this, you're depriving yourself of oxygen which leads to the common "dizziness" feeling. You're not getting "high" when this happens, you're getting dizzy cause you're lacking oxygen (trust me, there's idiots who think they're getting more high when this happens).

    Maximum is 5 seconds, all holding in for longer will do is let the tar stick to your lungs.
