I don't know the exact technical term for it, I've heard it called zeroing. Basically holding a hit in so long that when you breathe out there is no visible smoke, maybe like 20 or 30 seconds. I do it occasionally to see if I get any higher off of just holding them in for 5-10 seconds. Can't really tell if it's just the placebo effect or if it really does work.

My theory is that there is still some remaining THC in the smoke that isn't held in very long, by holding it in you get it all. On the other hand it could just be all the shit in the smoke and nothing worth the trouble.

What say you Guru Council?

the lack of oxygen will give you more of a headrush.

Other than that it's completely useless as the THC gets absorbed into your bloodstream in the first second or two...

i keep it in for 5 seconds. dont want too much of my precious thc to be blown away..

anything past that would just be doing damage i think. i dont want smoke down in my lungs too long its badd

yeah the head rush would impact it a bit i guess...
but yeah im an in and out type of a guy

I think it's pointless after 2 seconds or so even though I usually just hold it in for a second then let go, but what flow said your getting a head rush from the lack of oxygen.

like he^^ said take a hit, 2 secs is all it takes. just savor the smoke and then blow it out, like drinking a good beer

I'll find myself counting to 5 in my head when I'm holding in my toke...but this usually happens when I'm already high and I want to remember how long I'm holding in the smoke

holding smoke is a good way to fuck up your lungs.

I used to do it everytime but then I had bad highs because my lungs hurt so bad..

yea its irritating when you breathe out and no smoke comes out.. i always feel like the smoke is still just sitting in there messing up your lungs i still try to hold it in for about 5-7 seconds tho

i do the exact same thing, sometimes when im high and with mates ill use my fingers aswell and everyone just stares at me thinking wtf is this guy doing?? lol

Thanks for the feedback.

I guess I'll explain further. I started doing this way back with a friend of mine. We'd sit out on his porch and pass the bong back and forth, but the game was to keep the hit held in until it was passed back to you. Stupid game but it was fun at the time.

Guess I'm done doing that

It's fine to do every once in a while like if it's a game, but if you do it every time you take a puff then that's bad.
