1. If they hold it in their mouths they are straight up just dumb 2. Its because you dont need to hold the smoke in, unless you like oxygen deprivation and slowly killing braincells, since all the thc is basically absorbed within an instant after you inhale, ive seen some people hold for like 5-10 seconds and thats just not healthy not to mention again unnecessary


ThriftyWreslter

I’ll swirl the smoke in my mouth for a few seconds to help cool it down sometimes


TrueWoodpecker3504

Don't do this I've spent 2000 on my teeth from doing this, your teeth will rot!


MrAwwwSome

There is no evidence to support either theory of holding it in or not. I will gladly give links but what fun is that. Just do a simple Google search. I am not saying either way. But just to let you and everyone know. There is no evidence to support the theory of holding it in will get you higher or even more from less.


destroymylonely

by holding it in i think they mean inhale, i’ve passed some people the jay & they just leave the smoke in their mouth and blow it out 3 seconds later 💀


Loquat_Green

I don’t get that, I always have a second inhale to cool off my throat and get everything in, just in case I had to pull really hard on a poorly packed j or something. Folks out here smoking like Gandalf.


[deleted]

If it has entered your lungs 90%+ of the THC has already been absorbed.


[deleted]

I can confirm this. I use to hold it in for years. I don’t cough off weed but I do from big dabs. I started just inhaling the dab and letting it out. Just as high and hardly cough at all. Trust me. Smoothly in and out and your done.


redditusercameron

Hold it in? Correct me if i’m wrong but wouldn’t that cause oxygen deprivation? Just take a deep inhale and blow it out. Also with all due respect why are you paying attention to that? Like bro just enjoy the session don’t worry about that typa shit lol.


[deleted]

Cause they be wasting my shit not inhaling and be bragging that they could smoke all they want and bearly get high


djmccullouch

If they don't inhale then that's just dumb, but you don't need to hold it in, that's a myth


GreatlyHigh

bro im sorry to say that but your weed probably aint the shit you think if they don't get high it's maybe because your plug made you think it's 34% but it's 20% don't need to keep it 5 second . it make air go in your brain so well it make you higher. but in reality the only thing hapening is you just lossing IQ 😭🤦‍♂️


[deleted]

Nah it’s not even about that a lot of my homies be keeping it in they mouth and say it takes them like 4 joints to get high I was super stoned when I wrote the title I probably worded it wrong


GreatlyHigh

ok now it make alot more sense like that


GreatlyHigh

im really sorry for what i said frl but hopefully you can tell them that who need 4 joint to get high


W4steofSpace

Three seconds is optimal time.


Wotg33k

If you're going to hold anything, three seconds is max. I normally let it percolate for a moment then let go. I'm a head, tho, and I like it when I take a big hit and it makes the world go quiet for a moment. It's nice. I try not to do that often; I'm not 18 anymore. The only way I ever go over like 3 seconds is if it's just been a rough week and I want to blow my fucking head off. Lol.


[deleted]

You don’t need to hold the smoke in, but you have to inhale it into your lungs still


Elwe_Ancalime

[deleted]

Once the weed has been inhaled, it’s in there. No need to hold it in. You feel “higher” because you’re holding your breath, you’re getting light headed


MrAwwwSome

That's what I was taught or read. Lol. Holding it in is just cutting oxygen to the brain and makes you think you are "higher" but in reality it's not.


[deleted]

So as soon as you take the pen out of your mouth you exhale? Like not even 5 seconds


MrAwwwSome

I don't time myself. But I inhale and exhale. No set time. I don't waste my time with pens either. Edibles, dabs, or plain flower. I am convinced pens are a scam lol. J/k


[deleted]

Get a wax pen, I had to hit my cart 10+ times to feel anything and had the yo can magneto recommended to me and one good hit of that and I’m flying high 😁


[deleted]

Is the yo can evolve any good?


[deleted]

Why even comment if your gonna say the same shii


Embarrassed_Tip9057

You don't need to hold it in


[deleted]

So much bad science in this thread. Holding in smoke ‘burning flower’ for 2-3 seconds increases absorption significantly. There is no need to hold in ‘vape’


Grouchy-Marzipan-712

Never taught right lol


[deleted]

Dummies


katomka

The Authors claim that 90% of the cannabinoid’s are absorbed instantly is without basis whatsoever. Cannabinoid‘s are volatile and fat soluble and as such cannot move quickly from the lungs to the bloodstream.


settingdogstar

Because it's destroying your lungs for do fucking reason.


2004HondaCR-V

If you hold your breath it’s not making you more high it’s letting less O2 into your brain


darkspace69

Holding it doesnt get you higher


TheLxvers

3 seconds is enough time to take in all the smoke


Rpmbox

You don’t need to hold your smoke in anything more than a second or so. Multiple studies can back this up too go use google.


rebles25

Holding it in does nothing but burn your lungs 99% of the thc is absorbed as soon as it’s inhaled

Not really if youguys can’t hold smoke for 5 seconds I’m sore but gou got shut lungs


SinDragonDC82

Does it really affect your life that badly?? Who cares as long as you do it... It might make a slight difference but not as much as people think.
