Balloon Hits

[Higher Power]

I know of someone who uses a balloon when they smoke. A hit is taken from the blunt, pipe, etc. The smoke is then blown into the balloon, then inhaled again. This person swears by it that it gets you twice as high as you normally would, and you smoke less buds. My question is this. Is it healthy ? Do you inhale any other chemicals from the balloon ? Is the recycled smoke more of a health hazard ? Has anyone tried this ? Any responses are appreciated.

I tried something like this before.Yeah it will help you to save on bud.You dont need as much.When I was younger I enjoyed smoking under a blanket with my girlfriends..It works very well.

Its only safe if ya use a pig bladder for the balloon.......da fucks wrong with you people?I believe your lungs take most all the good shit on first smoke,anything at all left would be minimal at best,ya aint smokin nothin but the nasty bad shit,straighten the fuck out for I get pissed off people!

 

[wreck]

Never tried it, never will.

I think your friends a bit cheap and willing to mess his lung to save a buck...

He probably gets higher simply because he's breathing into a damn balloon... Oxygen is for suckers

This person swears by it that it gets you twice as high as you normally would, and you smoke less buds.

Anytime some says this immediately after describing a half-retarded method of smoking, you can almost always count on it being bull shit.
It sounds like someone combined inhaling whippets with smoking weed.

Save your energy and effort and smoke regularly. Toke till ya choke. Leave the half-retarded smoking methods to high schoolers.

None of you 30 years old and up have ever smoked a joint under a blanket before?

 

[johnny butt]

Hot boxing and smoking under a blanket are a different stories.


This is a balloon....


Tell him to blow smoke bubbles instead and forget the balloon

Oxy dep provides a rush, not good for repetitive use.

Really? Explain how

 

[hazeydayz]

basically its a stupid idea... whenever some1 swears that they get twice as high off techniques like that is BS or everyone would be doing it and it wouldnt be unheard of.... almost all of the thc is absorbed into your lungs the first time around, and when you blow into the balloon its just nastiness inside the balloon...dont do it, its not worth it

 

[johnny butt]

Really? Explain how

You're in a room or a car, and not breathing into a damn balloon.

When you blow air into the balloon, it isn't allowed to mix with any outside air. All the oxygen you already absorbed is gone from this air. When you're in a room or even under a blanket, you're exhale is a significantly smaller portion than the volume of air you just exhaled into.

If you really want to breath in and out of a balloon, by all means go ahead.

Only thing I want in a balloon is nitrous oxide



Hippy gas? Anyone?

I believe your lungs take most all the good shit on first smoke

To those of you insisting that all the thc is absorbed on the first breath - can you guys produce evidence to back that up?

As I understand it, the lungs can only absorb about 25-50% of the oxygen in a given breath. (http://normalbreathing.com/patterns-extraction.php)

If they can only get half the Oxygen, what makes you guys think they absorb the majority of the THC?

 

[clp]

You'll only be inhaling tar and gross ass resin!
There is only a little bit of THC left and its hardly worth it. The hit would be incredibly stale also!

 

[GeorgeSmiley]

Stale is right.... if you've ever not been able to pull a bong rip all the way through.... 10 seconds later it's stale...

[Phedrosbenny]

This kind of reminds me of Vaporizer bags.

 

[immaculate]

That's fucking disgusting and completely useless. Your lungs ABSORB THC when you inhale smoke; the particles are very adherent and what particles are left after your pussy lungs choke up that half-assed hit are probably stuck to the inside of that balloon. Not to mention how stiflingly stale that smoke and shit colored and flavored air would be. Hold your hits in. 6-7 seconds.

I have in fact done this with my extreme vape, I usually only do it on the first rip when the vapor cloud is thickest. I can say that upon second inhale from the bag I can definitely feel it work as I hold it in and it is not o2 deprivation. It is not something I do regularly but when short on stash, I can assure you it works and the second hit out of the bag doesn't taste bad at all. I don't think I would do it with smoke or a normal baloon however.

 

[clp]

Vaporizer is different than smoke..
First of all first time out of a bag the smoke is still full of THC etc.
Second time around is probably still not great but because the vape doesn't combust (or shouldn't if its working properly) you're lungs will absorb most of the thc but there wont be as many toxins and tar to worry about.
Man I gotta get a vape asap!
