The few times I have smoked weed, I've been a bit unsure whether I'm inhaling properly (and thus, a bit worried I look like an idiot).
What exactly should I be doing? Quite often I get smoke coming out of my nose, is this normal? I tend to just suck it in, and kind of breathe it into my lungs as if I was just breathing normally, is this the correct way?
And I don't fully understand why people do exhale after a while? Do you just do this once you've inhaled enough, and breathe out the rest? Why not just inhale it all?
Thanks for the help.

See, that's kind of what I don't understand. I don't hold my breath, I just basically breathe it in...surely if you're holding your breath then you can't breath it in? Surely if you hold your breath, it will just stay in your mouth.
Sorry, as I said I've only smoked a few times, and never smoked fags, so I'm totally inexperienced.
Umm, hard to explain really. You hold it after you have inhaled the smoke, if you see what I mean.
I think THC takes around 3 seconds to be absorbed.
I used to wonder if i was inhaling correctly as well...partly because soapbar is so shite i wasn't feeling properly high...once you've inhaled all you can, and the smoke you exhale is vapour, you know you've inhaled properly.
