Weed is absorbed into your lungs after 2 seconds.....

I heard from a few different people that marijuana smoke is absorbed into your lungs after 2 seconds and that holding the smoke in your lungs any longer doesn't get you any higher. Is this true? Or will you still get higher if you hold the smoke in for as long as you can?
 
hold it in, the smoke that contacts the walls of your lungs absorbs in two seconds, but theres a lot more smoke in there that is NOT in contact with the walls of your lungs
 
come on guys, this argument has been had for a long time, and the general consensus is that it doesn't matter. all the smoke that you are breathing in is absorbed into your lungs as your breathing it in, and the smoke that you get last is the smoke that makes contact with the walls of your lungs last. so any smoke you hold in is stale regardless, so kids, don't hold in smoke, it only deprives your brain of oxygen.
 
The key is the little sips of air at the end haha

Who knows, who cares. IF you aren't getting high enough, smoke more, its as simple as that... Or take a nice long break you damn burn-out!!!
 
no matter how long you hold a hit you wont be able to get all the THC from it. if someone were to graph the absorbstion of THC im fairly positive it would be a bell curve. the first few seconds would have and exponential intake but would reach a plateau. there will still be THC in the smoke. think about it. if you were going to smoke a blunt in a car and hot box it, all you people saying that its all absorbed in 2 or 3 seconds. if you hot boxed the car but held every hit in for 3 seconds you are saying that by the end of the blunt you would be sitting in a car full of smoke with no THC in it. try it. smoke a blunt outside and then do the exact same thing in a confined area and tell me there is no difference.
 
I have heard the science proving that to be true, however any research based on illegal drugs is usually a little shady so who knows.

Personally I still hold in my hit for 5 or 10 seconds if its the only one I got lol.
 
this is a perfect example of why you can't ask questions that you want real answers to on the internet. If you knew anything about lungs you would know that they don't have fucking walls, they are basically sponges, not pouches. It's easy for someone who doens't know anything to make up an answer and have it seem complete legit like this one, but it actually doesn't even make sense... moral of the story: don't ask newschoolers hard questions.

and if you don't know the answer don't just pull something out of your ass.
 
yea its a sponge, but its not just a sponge. like there is a membrane wall over it. if not then you'd have blood in your lungs.
 
ahahahah eat a dick, doctor
yea they are like a sponge, and sponges have WALLS throughout them you fucking moron, Sponges are made out of WALLS and empty space. The longer you hold it in, the longer it has a chance to contact these WALLS, thats why when you hold it in for longer you see less smoke when it is exhaled
study harder fag
 
I personally don't hold my smoke in. maybe a few seconds, but doing someting like a Chicago around the group doesn't really do anything for me. It feels like a much lighter, cleaner high when I blow out my smoke rather than hold it in
 
I usually hold it in for a couple seconds after a hit. I also keep breathing in a couple more breaths of fresh air before I breathe out.

Lately however I have been holding the hit in just long enough to down a shot of whiskey, throw a bag of pop rocks in my mouth, and then chug a beer....Now THAT is a feat
 
I mean if we really want to be all scientific these "pouches" are called alveoli. Sponges are under your kitchen sink sir. However there is such thing as called saturation. I hope you know what that means but by your childish name calling I am not sure you do. I think that at a certain point everything becomes saturated with the THC that bro was talking about earlier. So not only is your body not taking in more O2 (thats oxygen in case you forgot) I don't think you are getting any higher. Like many people have said its the combo of being high and loss of O2 to the brain that makes you feel higher.
 
its probably about the same, but nothing feels better than takin the biggest hit you can. am i right? i think im right.
 
who gives a shit how long you NEED to hold it in. its fun to hold it in as long as possible and play Chicago, and other games.

so you're a genius who can't construct decent sentences?

the loss of O2 (oooh so scientific...) might be a really small part of it. However, its not like THC is some magical substance that fights its way through all the smoke from the burnt plan material (which has no THC) and is instantly absorbed by your lugs. If you're exhaling weed smoke, you're exhaling THC plain and simple.
 
actually that's exactly how it works, the alveoli absorb the thc in seconds and leaves behind most of the other shit the smoke is made up of. sooooooo you're dumb.
 
do they absorb all the THC? ive gotta think it leaves SOME behind that you would exhale. but hey, i dont smoke, so what the fuck do i know.
