Debunking Popular Cannabis Misconceptions
At Cultivate Las Vegas, we’ve heard plenty of cannabis myths since opening our doors in 2018. One of the most persistent misconceptions we encounter is that holding cannabis smoke in your lungs longer leads to increased effects. Let’s clear the air about this common belief.
The Science Behind THC Absorption
The truth is, your lungs absorb THC (the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis) almost immediately upon inhalation. Within milliseconds, the active compounds enter your bloodstream through the alveoli in your lungs. Holding smoke longer only:
• Deprives your brain of oxygen
• Irritates your lung tissue
• Allows more tar to settle in your lungs
• Creates unnecessary discomfort
What Actually Matters
Instead of holding smoke, focus on:
• Taking measured, controlled inhalations
• Using quality products from licensed dispensaries
• Understanding your tolerance levels
• Starting with lower doses
At Cultivate Las Vegas, we pride ourselves on educating our customers across Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Paradise, and Corn Creek. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you toward products that match your experience level and desired effects.
