I saw somewhere, in multiple places, that it does NOT get you higher to hold it in when you inhale. That goes against everything I've ever heard of. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't hold it in with every hit. Is this common?

After about 5 seconds, nearly everything is absorbed. For inhaler meds, doctors will tell you hold for 10 seconds, and longer than that is unnecessary and just results in oxygen deprivation when vaping/smoking.

I don't feel a difference between 5 and 10 seconds, and weed is no longer hard to come by in my state, so I just shoot for 5 seconds.
