    Herd if you hold it in long you get a better effect is this true?

    No, it's absolutely false. In fact, the shorter amount of time you hold the smoke in the more high you will become.

    3 seconds is all you need

    anything more is just you feeling light headed

    How could this possibly be true?

    How about some real science, instead of opinions? :D

    And one more thing, do NOT "clamp down" on a hit, or do the "Valsalva maneuver" while smoking! You can damage your lungs like that!

    (The Valsalva maneuver is performed by attempting to forcibly exhale while keeping the mouth and nose closed. Don’t even think of doing it while smoking!)

    Unless I'm playing Chicago then only 4 seconds.

    Great post, as usual.:smoke:

    I haven't read a legitimate report about this but I have heard from a few different sources that the THC and other cannabinoids are absorbed within 1-3 seconds. You may FEEL higher for a few seconds due to oxygen deprivation, or exposure to CO2, rather. But the head rush from O2 deprivation Lasts less than a minute.

    I don't know, it doesn't even matter how long you hold it in anyway. The only time I hold in a hit long is when I'm playing a game of "chicago" or "shotgun" with a friend or circle.
    Chicago= You take 1 hit, pass it to the next person in the cyph... you hold it in untill you hit again.
    Shotgun= Only played with 2 or 3 people. You take a hit pass it and they do the same. The trick is to hold it in the entire time and to do it faster to add a challenge.

    Granny always has the answers.
     
  16. #16 HashToker, Aug 15, 2012
    couple of seconds, sometimes 3..
     
  17. #17 ResinHits, Aug 15, 2012
    No more than 3-5, otherwise youre just killing yourself
     
  18. #18 Sunn, Aug 15, 2012
    like one second probably.

    Vapor? I ghost that shit. Hold for 7 seconds or so, exhale a bit, inhale through nose, repeat til vapor is gone.

    Smoking, couple seconds. As per reading through the abstracts of granny's links:

    2-3 seconds, there is no reason to hold it any longer.
