Debunking Cannabis Misconceptions
One of the most persistent myths in the cannabis community is that holding smoke in your lungs longer will get you more intensely affected. This is completely false and potentially harmful to your respiratory health.
At Altius Dispensary in Round Lake Beach, IL, we’re committed to educating our community and dispelling misconceptions about cannabis. As your trusted local dispensary serving Kenosha, Waukegan, Mundelein, Gurnee, and Pleasant Prairie, we believe in providing accurate information alongside quality products.
Here’s why this myth doesn’t hold up:
- THC absorption happens within seconds of inhalation
- Extended holding only deprives your brain of oxygen
- Longer holds can irritate your lung tissue unnecessarily
The Science Behind It:
Studies show that your lungs absorb about 95% of THC within the first few seconds of inhalation. Anything beyond that is just unnecessary stress on your respiratory system.
At Altius, we’re dedicated to helping you make informed decisions about cannabis consumption. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through proper usage techniques and product selection. Remember our motto: “Change Your Altitude with Altius.”
