After I take the hit, inhale/swallow, should I hold for any length in time? I tried looking and there seems to be a lot of differing opinions. I've seen everything from "no need to hold" to "hold it as long as you can". Is there a point that it basically provides no benefits? Say like "after 3 seconds virtually all thc is absorbed" or something like that? Currently I've been holding in for about 6 to 9 seconds as I count in my head. Is that too long?
I follow some tips that help me out a lot when I smoke. When you hit anything that's oil based, say like dabs, try to hold it in as long as you can. That's what I try to do but it's hard, sometimes when you hold it in, it gets absorbed a lot so there really isn't that much smoke to come out when you exhale. When you're smoking out of a pipe or blunt, Its best to only hold it in for only about 3 seconds to 5 second at most, unless you're playing Chicago. Hoped this helped a bit. - ctr0n
I prefer to vape these days, but I never think about it really... Just inhale.. exhale, repeat. Then you don't have worry about what others think, as long as it works for you dude. Peace! -GK
No rules man, just enjoy your bud. I did however start just breaking off chunks and stuffing them in my pipe instead of grinding before. Keeps the tri's intact instead of crushing them!
holding my breath would ruin my enjoyment. That's stoner thinking right there lol, just relax and smoke how you want to, don't make it a means to get to a destination, enjoy the ride
