Common Cannabis Myths That Need to Go Up in Smoke



Separating Fact from Fiction in Cannabis Education

One of the most persistent myths in the cannabis community is that holding smoke in your lungs longer gets you more intoxicated. This widely-believed misconception has led many consumers to adopt potentially harmful smoking habits, but the science tells a different story.

Here’s the truth: nearly all THC absorption occurs within the first few seconds of inhalation. Research indicates that holding smoke longer only increases the amount of tar and other unwanted compounds your lungs absorb, without enhancing the desired effects.

Let’s break down why this matters:

  • THC absorption happens almost immediately upon inhalation
  • Extended breath-holding can irritate lung tissue
  • Proper dosing comes from product selection, not inhalation technique
  • Light, controlled puffs are more effective than deep, held breaths
