Yeah so the title of this sounds sweet- like I was high one day and thought I could hold smoke in my hands. Well, no. I had a question for anybody out there who really knows their stuff. I heard and have read a couple times that THC is instantly absorbed by the brain so it is unneccessary for anyone to hold in the smoke after taking a hit. Is this true at all because my friends and I have always held it in? . . And so does everybody else I know. . .

Hmm, never really thought about it before. I don't remember when I started holding it in, but If nothing else it works as a good placebo.

You should hold in in, but only a few seconds. Less than that and THC doesn't get absorbed in your lungs fast enough, more than that and you won't be absorbing much more THC at all (while you will be getting smoke toxins).

You won't get very high if you "huff" it.

A study done by a group of doctors in Canada at Dalhousie University, concluded that more than 90% of the THC is absorbed into the lungs within the first seconds of inhalation. Another study confirms this, but they put their number at 95% absorption. The 5-15% of THC that isn't absorbed is due to THC loss in trace smoke, or smoke that never enters the lungs.

Ive always been told to hold smoke in too. Someone said "after 8 or 9 seconds 99% of the thc is absorbed"

Eight or Nine seconds is way more than enough. A general rule would be never hold more than five seconds, and try to keep it in the three second range.

There is nothing "wrong" with it. You are just damaging your lungs more and not getting anymore higher.

as long as you're alright with getting your high from oxygen deprivation and neuronal death then keep holding that smoke for 30 seconds

once you get to 5 it's pointless...
