    So I have noticed that about 90% of the time I end up ghost hitting, or there is very little smoke that seems to be exhaled. I am certain that I am inhaling properly because I am getting high. So basically I'm wondering what are your opinions on ghost hitting? Anyone else a ghost hitter? is it harmful? how long should i hold it in for? :confused:

    I'm no doctor but I can tell you that holding toxins like carbon monoxide and polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons in your lungs=bad. Hold for 2-5seconds, blow that shit out.

    No reason to hold your hit in for more than about 7 seconds.

    Yeah, Ghosting is for looks. Usually to see who can hold it longest. It's pointless.

    yeah i think i've read that anything over ~5 seconds is just depriving the brain of oxygen.

    This is ludicrous. It takes near a minute before you start losing brain cells from oxygen deprivation. I mean haven't you ever held your breath for more than 10 seconds while swimming in a pool?

    i only hold my hit in for 2-3 seconds max, and i get plenty high

    You're losing out though. NORML did a study which concluded that 5-8 seconds is the ideal amount of time before the diminishing returns make it unreasonable. If you wish to optimize your thc to bad stuff (Carcinogens, tar, etc) ratio, go for 7 seconds.

    is stopping oxygen flow to the brain for any amount not still depriving the brain of oxygen? and i believe the figure is four minutes of holding before damage begins... but i've also heard 10 seconds to 10 minutes...

    regardless, i've read that something like 95% thc is absorbed by the lungs in ~5 seconds, so anything more than that is overkill.

    sorry for the double post, but do you have a link? i'd be interested to see this. everything i've read/heard says 5-6 seconds, max.

    Everyone gets thier sources from different places. some say 3-4, 5-7 whatever. Just go with 5 then let it out.
     
  15. #15 Fuckeroni, May 24, 2010
    who the fuck counts the seconds? just hold until you feel like you should let it out, its really just personal preference to me.

    Simple as this.

    a hearbeat to collect the THC in to your lungs, another heartbeat to circulate it to your brain/body, one more heartbeat to let it all set in to the good little nooks inside your brain receptors and shit.

    Then blow that shit out.

    about 3-4 seconds if you arent already heart crazy high. 1-2 seconds to make it viable, another 1-2 to get it thoroughly I suppose.

    technically it all has to do with your blood flow.


    But fuck the holding it in competitions.

    a while back i use to think ghosting got me SO baked because i would get extremely light-headed. i would take fat ass bowl pack of a waterfall with all the condensed smoke in one hit and hold in for up 30 seconds+
    Now that i reflect on that past i realize my foolish mistake. the lightheadedness is a result of oxygen deprevation. however, the light-headedness always flowed into my high and i thought it was one in the same

    do not make this same mistake, it can be harmful!
    i actually remember fainting one time..
     
  18. #18 HIGHliketheSKY, May 24, 2010
    damn that is crazy, i def intend on keeping it to 7 seconds or less! thank you for sharing this.

    Not while holding a hit no.

    Are you smoking by yourself or do you burn one with buds, watch them, I smoked my first carbed glass pipe wrong for a week before friends laughed at me.


    Man I just loaded my bong with my ashtray. Seems I don't need to load it after all.
