As your trusted local dispensary experts at Blended Buds Cannabis, we’re committed to educating our community about cannabis facts and fiction. Today, let’s tackle one of the most persistent myths in cannabis culture: the belief that holding smoke longer in your lungs increases the high.
The Science Behind Absorption
Here’s the truth: THC absorption in your lungs happens almost instantly. When you inhale cannabis smoke or vapor, your lungs absorb approximately 95% of the THC within the first few seconds. Holding smoke longer only:
– Deprives your brain of oxygen
– Increases tar deposits in your lungs
– Creates unnecessary discomfort
Why This Myth Persists
People often feel more intense effects when holding smoke longer, but this is actually due to oxygen deprivation, not increased THC absorption. The lightheaded feeling from lack of oxygen can be mistaken for a stronger high.
