you dont get asphyxiated after 3 seconds. who holds weed in for 5 minutes? who the hell cares?

 

Higher Logic

I don't think asphyxiation is the word you're looking for, as it implies suffocation. Holding your breath if anything would give you a little oxygen intoxication, a practice that goes back thousands of years. Just smoke, inhale, and exhale like a normal breath. Your lungs are efficient enough to catch everything.

I was under the impression you were holding in your breath for a long time after a big hit, but yes, 3 seconds wont really do anything to you. Personally, I don’t “hold” it at all, because I have noticed that holding marijuana it does close to nothing. I breathe in, all the way, and then immediately breathe out. Then enjoy the high.

Nope, a search of the world “intoxication” will tell you that it is the state of being poisoned by something. You are thinking of oxygen deprivation, when your lungs start absorbing carbon dioxide, and other crap, looking for oxygen. Therefore, oxygen intoxication is not something that happens when you smoke, it’s something that happens when you breathe rapidly through an oxygen mask on an air plane, breathing a large amount of oxygen. Oxygen can get you high, just like lack of it can, as can nitrous oxide, and tetrahydrocannabinol. I’m not sure what an oxygen high would be like, similar probably to the laughing gas (nitrous). Carbon dioxide, or lack of oxygen, will make you dizzy. And THC, well we all know.

edit: oh, and, asphyxiation: a state of asphyxia or suffocation. Condition caused by insufficient intake of oxygen. Extrinsic causes include choking, toxic gases... toxic gases being anything other than thc in the smoke you inhale. I supose oxygen deprivation would be more accurate, but asphyxiation is a close enough synonym.

getting stoned is completely mental, when we smoke the first time our minds have no reaction, because they have not been around it, or what people do with it...however soon we have intense trips that will eventually lead to a dab trip (all the mind) and then we outgrow real trips all together, and we just sit back, relax and get stoned

if you beleive you will get higher from holding in, then you probably will, thats how its alwats been for me, and the people i know anyway, and ive "been around the blocks"...

Well.... heres me take on it. I HATE holding in hits and hotboxing. But i will tell you the way i inhale and exhale.

What i do is i take a pretty decent hit, then breath in all the way till my lungs expand to its full capacity, taking in oxygen after i take a hit in the SAME hit. Then, with this same hit i SLOWLY breath out. And when i meen SLOWLY, i meen so slow where u might have to try it a couple times to get the full effect of it. I tell all my fellow smokers around my area to do it this way and they ALL, 100% of them, say that this has got them more high off taking pipe hits or any other way of smoking. Some people say the pipe doesnt get them high anymore, but when i told them this method, they were pleased to announce that this accusation they made earlier was now Bunk.

If anyone else wants to give it a try and leave some feed back? you will KNOW when ur breathing it out slow enough, you will feel your lungs taking the thc in much more efficiently.

just smoke it... i don't understand the point of all this 'technique' stuff at all. if i'm not high after a bowl, i smoke another... not try and 'regulate' my breathing or whatever. no thanks, it works just as well to inhale or exhale at whatever speed i choose.

After I take a rip I hold it for 3 - 5 seconds. I used to think if i held it for 30 seconds I would get even more high, but apparantly that is horrible for your lungs.

Im not an expert but based on experience it is a much better high if you take the hit then expand your lungs and and exale in about 3-5 seconds at the most. Your lungs have a lot of surface air, the air is moving and thc is like glue. The rest of the smoke is just micronized ash. Get rid of that shit. Its bad for your brain.

I hold in hits for 5 seconds or less.
