Getting a cheap ass downpipe this weekend, i'll just stick it a water bottle and make a ghetto bong. Each one of my mates (5) is getting one and we're just gonna do bong hit after bong hit round a bonfire! Anyway was just wondering, how long do you hold a bong hit in for? I find when i hold it in for ages hoping it might get me high, no smoke comes out and my friends are like, dude wtf that was tiny .. haha. How long does it take to extract all the thc? is it worth holding it in for more than 1-2 seconds?
on bongs i inhale, then breathe it out and a lot tend to comes out but its all inhaled just was a big rip. on blunts i breathe it in and very little comes out
Most days about 3 seconds When I want my lungs to absorb extra carcinogens then I'll hold it in for like 10 seconds
It depends. I usually don't really think about it so I keep it in for 2-3 seconds. But sometimes I hold it in as long as I can just because I think it's cool how all the smoke disappears.

Then click that first link in my sig and start reading to become your crowd's "Ganja Guru"! And holding in a hit too hard can damage air sacs in your lungs and DOESN'T get more THC in your system! It can also raise your blood pressure to possibly unsafe levels! "Ghosting a hit" just deprives you of oxygen, which makes you dizzy and you interpret that as being higher! EDUCATE YOURSELF! Granny
