We have all played the game taxi or a similar version when you pass the joint round and hold in your hit until the spliff returns to you, but does it make you any higher?
After much testing and discussion with some intellectual stoners with medical backgrounds we built up a few theories.
1. Holding marijuana smoke in after taking a hit gives it more time inside your lungs which having a high surface area allows more THC from the smoke to disperse into your bloodstream.
2. Holding your breathe for a long time will make you dizzy as your brain lacks oxygen, therefore holding your breathe after inhaling cannabis rather than oxygen will make you even dizzier.
After much 'experimentation' we came to the conclusion that there is no difference between holding in a toke for 10 seconds and 30 seconds except the oxygen depravation which makes you slightly dizzier.
Loving this site even more.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Andrew, i am a fan of your blog and i enjoy reading it. I have a blog of my own about smoking weed and i would love for us to exchange links. If this is ok with you just click on my name and paste your link on my blog as a comment. Thank you
ReplyDeletewow this is actually really informative. now i can tell me friends they're idiots for holding it in too long! :P
ReplyDeleteLight headedness does not mean high. If you hold your breath for 30 seconds a few times without smoke, you're going to be dizzy anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe controversy was if the weed made you higher (NOT DIZZIER) the longer you hold the smoke in. Most of the THC that is in your hit will be absorbed by your alveoli within 10 seconds. Any longer may cause light headedness.
