Holding the Hit?

don't be a dik.

Yeah, okay, just don't tell me how to enjoy weed. Bottom line is, there is no bottom line to selling zigzag papers, even by the case, but there's money in them there hills if everybody gets sold on the idea of vaporizing.

One way to sell an idea is to advertise it as a healthier alternative. If you want to believe the advertising, and spend a bunch of money on imho an inferior way of inhaling cannabis, be my guest. My lungs are clear, and I believe I'm having more fun than you for pennies on the dollar (papers vs. vape).

sorry I mentioned vaporizing and I'm not telling you to do so. Running fast has little to do with tar and your lungs. you can do what you want JF but let me ask you, what is that golden brown goo that presents itself at the end of a roach? I'm in my late 60s.. I don't run too much any more so I'm, not going to race anyone to prove a point.. you burn, I vape.. but when I do, i'll hold the hit a little longer. GL

I'm pretty sure I'm still holding a hit I took in 1974 . . .

when reading these kind of threads I feel so lucky, I never had to "treasure every trichome", hold the smoke in till I turned blue or roll 2nd generation joints out of roaches, was lucky (or unlucky if you ask my mom) to meet the right people at an early age, so always been plenty of quality hash or weed.

My friends do say im realy spoiled, and they are right :biggrin: when I roll a joint I can spend ages cleaning out every little piece of leave or stalk in the bud and make sure that every "crumble" is the same size so it burns evenly, only the absolute best parts of the bud gets into the joint, the rest goes into the shake jar (no OCD here lol).

I do keep the smoke in a second or 2 and cirkulate some of it when exhaling, but that is to enjoy the taste to the fullest and not to try and get more stoned

you are fortunate to have that position :tiphat: but if youre spending "ages" cleaning it, I'd see about that OCD.:biggrin:

but do you pass it?:biggrin:

EDIT: OH, trillions of tricomes, a few hundred thousand here and there is nothing to worry about, IMO.
EDIT: yes, it is to get more stoned.:biggrin:

Vaping just doesn't do it for me.

I'll have to fire up the Vaper Brother tonight, I haven't used it in a year.
:party:
I think I'll eat a couple of cookies when I get home.

I will admit that all portables are lacking.. have you ever used a proper vaporizer? volcano or silver surfer? or just those wanna be maybe cheaper vaporizers? most vaping nubies start with cheap shit and base their finding on them.. there I agree with you but after this many years at the vape, I can not get as high on the joint, seems I cant take as big of a hit. socially though, out and about, the joint is still king...

I operate on the theory that exhaling through the nose gets me higher, because of the blood vessels in there.

this is interesting. I have a friend who does some wierd shit to make his vape go under his tongue "because there are more blood vessels in there mate" i just laugh at him from how high i am but i guess maybe he has a point? Lol

I was shocked to learn holding hits, scientificaly speaking, doesnt help get more cannabanoids into your system than just immeatetly expelling, i hope my lungs forgive me

Fuck the science hold that hit untill you cant anymore. Thc is not the only thing getting you high or else ALL weed would have the same high. Sometimes its one second others its 20 just hold it as long as you can comfortably but try for at least five seconds but 10 or 20 is better 20 is all you need to get all the smoke and stop worrying about your lungs weed wont permanently damage them and dont smoke tobacco that shit will kill you and make you feel like shit and if you hold it that is just stupid. Even second hand smoke will kill you good. Dont mix it with weed or hash either thats just wrong i hate tobacco. Smoke tobacco like weed youl see what im talking about. And vaporizers suck balls fuck paying for a volcano just make some iso and dont qwick wash thats a big waste of weed. Wash the crap out of it you smoke bud whole dont you? So why should chlorophyl scare you if thats what you smoke in whole bud?

Have you seen that guy on you tube taking a mega bong hit and holding it untill all tha smoke is gone? He doesnt even cough or nothing thats a champion hit.

yeah every couple of months, i blow a hit to remember what smoke looks like.

those "two seconds is enough" articles are written to make you waste weed.

interesting thing about science ("knowledge"), it's validated by "peer review" which is the $$$tupidest $$hit because if you wanted to really test something, you'd want people who are very different from you to review it. (I could kick that ball down the street all day...)
 
I will take a full lungs full and then exhale only a bit, then breathe back in and repeat this - honestly that's just the way I smoke but an old friend of mine swears that your lungs absorb the smoke better when gradual breathing continues. I'll exhale 4 times from one hit.
