ghosting

Your lungs only absorb things when they are being passed over the membrane, meaning with the air/smoke just sitting in there it isn't doing anything but that, just sitting there.

If you hold your breath you don't get MORE oxygen in your blood system, because it's just sitting there. But if you were to inhale and exhale into a ballon for awhile you would absorb more of the oxygen.

If you really want to get the most THC out of your hit, inhale deeply, then exhale. When you start to see smoke inhale again. Repeat as much as you like.

 

ah. beat me to it. I was going to suggest learning the 'french inhale', whereby instead of just re-inhaling through the mouth,you cycle it through inhaling through your nose. This is also a good way to impress friends because upon refining the technique you can look like a chinese dragon and your stoned friends will go whoooooaaaah, or maybe not

 

Chinese Dragons rock.

 

Well it does not quite work like that - Your statement about membrane adsorption is correct but because of Brownian motion and local temperature differences there is a lot of interchange within the alveoli. The layer of gas at the surface of the membrane tends to circulate regardless of how you breathe. Remember only the tidal volume of the lungs moves in and out. It in tern interacts with the residual volume, which makes up most of the intra alveolar volume

 

Well you just went over my head there, but isn't the general idea correct?

 

I heard that after ghosting you can burp and the smoke comes out, is that true? I can't burp to test it out... I only fart like a madman.

 

thats only if your hitting it...and then sucking a tiny bit into your stomach, this gets you pretty high....but i can just feel it being bad for me...but when smoke gets into your stomach... like when your inhaling like a cigar and then letting it go into your stomach you can burb out smoke...

 

I'm soooo getting a friend to try it.

 

Not really, the bottom line is that it is really true that the longer you hold it in the more good stuff and junk you get. You are basically giving the lungs more time to do their thing.

 

i think that if you used a vaperizor and that was the only thing you used and you never smoked cigs or cigars you would never have any lung problums at all. THC its self has not been really been proven to do anything bad to you maybe alittle to your brian but canadian scientist have sad that it doesnt do anything. I think.......... or maybe i just imagined all this one day.hmmmmmm nevermind.

 

idk, never heard of that term before and never knew it could dissolve like that. but it doesnt sound all that great if you already get about 70% of the THC with the first coule of seconds of inhaling.

 

You are right I do believe - it is the burning plants and the chemicals on them that do the harm.

 

well, by the time I'm old enough to get lung cancer or something like that from smoking weed, it'll be cured. im only 18, i'll be alright. *bites nails* i hope. by the way, acousticpeace, you are very pretty. ok... randomness.

 

Dam, pot damages my lungs, beer my liver and porn my brain, what fun can I have??

 

u cant have any if u sit around worrying about it. and driving in cars is dangerous and breathing inhales pollution fumes etc etc...just dont worry about it and live ur life. unless ur plan is to snort 35 lines of coke, but honestly stuff like weed and beer and porn...who cares. ur a guy, u get to have a little fun.
