Debunking Popular Cannabis Misconceptions
As your trusted cannabis experts at Terp Bros Dispensary in Astoria, we’re committed to educating our community about cannabis facts and fiction. Today, we’re addressing a persistent misconception that’s been circulating for decades.
The Myth
Many cannabis users believe that holding smoke in their lungs longer leads to increased effects. This widespread belief has led countless people to practice potentially harmful smoking habits.
The Truth
The science is clear: holding cannabis smoke in your lungs for an extended period doesn’t enhance its effects. Here’s why:
- Your lungs absorb THC within seconds of inhalation
- Extended holding only deprives your brain of oxygen
- The light-headed feeling from holding smoke is actually mild hypoxia
