coughing

When you cough you get higher? I always seem to think when i cough i get higher..just wanted to get your guys' opinion

 

this is a topic best searched for

 

ha cool man no disrespect but when ever i cough i get a headache

 

I think its just messes with my head lol

 

yeah i dont know the answer but believing youre getting higher can make you feel higher.

its that whole placebo effect

 

I think a lot of it is from oxygen deprivation... Once your done coughin you get that light-headed feelings, could easily be mistaken for being higher than you are.

 

I see coughing more as a sign of gettin' fucked up. Like, it's not the coughing that actually fucks you up when you do cough you just know you are.

 

apparently it opens up pores in your lungs and absorbs more thc. this only works when ur taking a hit, not after you smoke.

 

When I take a hit that MAKES me cough, those are thie hits that fuck me up.

 

Do you have a source for this?

edit: I've been searching and searching and I can't find anything to support what your saying. Coughing is a reaction to something that shouldn't be in your lungs. It's a mechanism to keep your lungs clean and free of bacteria. I doubt that your 'pores' would absorb more of anything while your lungs are trying to expel whatevers in your lungs...

I actually make a big effort to not cough, cuz i want all the smoke to give its thc to my lungs. It produces noises from the nose, kinda like when you try to hide a sneeze, and makes everybody laugh.

I hate coughing a puff, it always turns on my gag reflex.

 

nah, just heard it from people talking.

 

Some smart people in this thread.
I concur with those saying potent pot makes you cough and potent pot gets you higher.
That, and a bit of oxygen deprivation.

 

i stick to the idea that coughing forces a lot of blood to your head, which could result in faster flow of cannabinoids into your brain

 

if you cough from a hit, it's because you have taken a large hit. large hits get you higher. coughing also forces air deep through the lungs.

 

the problem i see is that there is no linear relationship between the amount you cough and the amount of thc thats gettin in your lungs. sometimes you can cough off a toke that normally might get you much

or especially, if youve been smoking cigarettes, you will cough much earlier. the more experienced you are, the less you will cough. you can get massivley stoned off hits that you dont cough from, and other times cough your lungs out and not be as high as youd like. the rumours of all this coughing stuff came from people who said you should make yourself cough because it makes you higher. first time i heard this, i thought they were retards but by now ive heard this side of the story many tiems from many places, so i dont think you can just assume the logic string, because coughing from a hit is caused by an irritating hit. irritation itself can be caused by many factors, such as the instrument of tokage, the moisture of the weed, the quality of the weed (good weed doesnt make you cough more.. generally the opposite), whether tobacco is involved, individual cough reflex, etc, and of course, the size of the hit is an important factor, but not the be all and end all, no way

 

yea in my OPINION i think its true

gets your blood flowing and rush to your head or somthing like that

but i think it last for like a minute or 2

 

From what Ive heard, when you cough you are opening up more spaces in your lungs for the smoke to get into. Not really healthy but, hey, maybe it does get you higher. I dont have anything to back this up but it makes sense to me.

 

When you cough, your lungs are contracting, they get small forcing the smoke/air to shoot out of your mouth. If you coughed more than once, I would assume they would have to expand (possibly bigger than normal) but by than all the smoke has been expelled from your lungs.

 

yeh, the second inhale is big so that it can dislodge mucous and stuff, as opposed to the first cough which woull notice will continue to force itself out until your lungs are past clear
