Same as inhaling any drug. Hold the hit as long as possible. Your wasting it. As long as that lung is full of smoke oxygen depleted red blood cells are passing through exchanging C02 for O2. With every molecule of O2 it nabs a THC molecule. We had to teach it to every new soldier that arrived in west Germany in the 70s. New kid takes toke and blows it out in 2 sec then complains "I'm not stoned" Hold it for 30 seconds you tard. 3 tokes later. Passed out on the floor. I guess he's stoned now. Take a small enough toke that you can hold it comfortably for a minimum of 30 seconds. 60 is better and 90 is best of all. Living on a military salary and having access to some of the best hash in the world we soon learned how to economize every gram to get the most bang possible. I was poor but damned it I wasn't stoned all the time. BNW
Ya I've read the same studies. I'll keep doing it the way I have for the last 45 years. It works for me and always has. YMMV. Experiment for your self. Play with the toke size and length of hold duration. It's what I always urge people to do is try it yourself. Take nobodies opinion as truth. Working with Concentrates I use the following method. Exhaust all you can. Take a medium sized hit. Exhale half when needed, inhale again. You can keep teasing the first half a lung full of smoke for several cycles. Amount of smoke inhaled and duration held equally affect the amount of stone your going to get IME. Vary either side of the equation to adjust for personal comfort. I've gifted Kief to many cancer patients and give a full set of directions for use based on my personal experience. Here is a simple test. While sober take the biggest breath you can and hold it. Keep holding, longer, longer, Did you pass out? Fall down? Need a nap? No ?? Repeat test with you know what. Record both on paper. Submit test results later today. BNW
The THC will hit your lungs pretty much instantly no reason to hold it longer than the time it takes to inhale and exhale
Yeah same amount of time you hold regular smoke 2-5 secs ? I haven’t bothered with dabs in years , prefer flowers ..
Yeah, the principle is the same whether it's concentrate or flower. As far as I'm concerned holding it in longer than a normal hit length is just going to give the carcinogens more time to hang around.
Usually about 5 seconds or so, ill exhale slowly, inhale while the vapor is still in my lungs and exhale completely. Works for me.
I don't enjoy holding my breath. I'm currently hitting a tiny red hot dab that smokes up for a second or two. Breath it in deep as possible then slowly breath it out straight away.
I exhale almost immediately. Figure I've been inhaling for 6 or 7 seconds and that's good enough. If I want more I'll take more not going to hold my breath
