Active THC

I had heard years ago that when you smoke a J the active thc that gets you high is absorbed in 3 seconds and you don't have to hold your breath much more than that protecting you lungs. True or False any thoughts.

I think its false. I rarely smoke but when I do I take small tokes and holding them in makes a difference. Of course Im not going to hold in a huge amount of smoke to get high if I can just take another hit.

3-5 seconds should be long enough to absorb most of the cannabinoids, of course you will get slightly more the longer you hold it but I don't necessarily think holding your breath as long as possible increases absorption that much more. I really only hold it in for a long time if there is only a tiny amount to smoke to begin with.

i second that. smoke a joint like a cigarette and you get just as baked. holding it in allows smoke to settle and tar your lungs up a little more (think of all the shit that clogs up pipes - that was once smoke).

i think it's an illusion. you exhale, upon first breath not only are you getting a slight rush from not suffocating anymore, but the buzz has just started creepin in.

holding it in makes all the difference IMO but 5 seconds is plenty of time. Looks at salvia...maybe it's diff. but you HAVE TO hold that shit in i think, no?

The few times I smoked weed (those who know me will know this is a recent development), it didn't work til i held it in as long as possible. At the same time though, it felt like it was disintegrating my lungs.

Smoking mj doesn't make me cough if I breath the smoke all the way into my lungs so there is only Air in my throat. If you have smoke held in your throat it hurts a bit but the WORST is if you cough before you exhale. Just make sure you exhale before you cough at ALL COSTS.
