if i take a particularly good hit and hold it for more than a few seconds, i have a bizarre but very pleasurable experience... my vision gets fuzzy around the edges and dark. my body kind of tingles and i get a headrush.. but again it all feels very good. its kind of dangerous if im standing because i tend to lose my balance..

anyone else have this happen? none of my friends have any idea what im talking about.. only one other person has decribed anything similar..

o and is this like... killing me? it sure doesnt feel like it, and im not any stupider than i was before.. so i dont think it does any extra harm..?

I am sorry to point this out but stupider is not a word.

Either way you could be killing brain cells by repeatedly holding your breath in. Just holding your breath in for even a minute won't really do you any harm besides make you dizzy but repeatedly doing it can lower the O2 levels of your blood causing less than what is needed to keep your brain alive so it can kill brain cell, if very slowly.

But what you are doing can by no means kill you. Unless you are holding your breath in for bery long periods of time. But by the time you started to casue your brain harm you would have passed out minutes before so there really isn't much worry.

The thing is is that you really do not need to hold your breath in for longer than five seconds to absorb 98 percent of the THC in marijuana. It is shown that within the first two seconds of inhalation that up to 95 percent is absorbed and at about five seconds there is barely trace amounts or about 98 percent.

Either way, continbue to do it if you want to but just remember, it really isn't needed to be done to take in the full effects of marijuana.

stupider should be a word. it just doesnt sound right to say that "i dont feel any more stupid than i was before."

Higher Logic

Holding in hits or taking deep inhalations is pointless. Like Neo said, all you are possibly experiencing is "oxygen intoxication." People have been doing it for years actually.

ok, but then, why dont i get that feeling of "oxygen intoxication" when i hold my breath to the point of passing out? or a drag off a cigarette, being smoke also, should do the same... except it doesnt.

i only get this from pot. its not lack of oxygen or anything like that... otherwise i could reproduce the effect w/o marijuana right?

I think what's causing you to feel dizzy and all that is holding your breath. I once held my breath for a long period of time and I passed out, I just fell like I was dying lol, straight to the ground! I don't think you need to hold the smoke inside of you for more then 2 seconds man, and I heard lack of oxygen harms your brain, so just lose it and smoke it like a normal cig, you'll still get high
