hotboxing

Hotboxing is a term all stoners and weed lovers should be conversant with. Hotboxing, the practice of smoking weed in a space with a limited supply of fresh air is a very common practice among smokers. Smokers often make use of their car, a small room and so on. Hotboxing is arguably the most practiced activity among smokers, smokers who have experienced the feeling can't get enough of it and new smokers who haven't tried it before often can't wait to enjoy the pleasures. The only downside here is that too many people don't know how to properly carry out hotboxing. A lot of potential and new smokers who practice hotboxing don't hotbox the right way, the majority are ignorant of the steps needed to be carried out to ensure that the most benefit is derived from the practice and as such end up wasting their time and money. Luckily for you though, you're here! In this article I'll fully dive into the nitty-gritty of hotboxing, it's benefits, role, side effects and most importantly, I'll answer the million-dollar question that plagues almost all adventurous smokers 'does hotboxing get you 'higher'? '.

A closer look at hotboxing

Smokers that practice hotboxing describe it as a step further into euphoria, and although hotboxing is a store of intense pleasures it also has mild risks that smokers should be aware of. But before I get into that I'll briefly summarize how to efficiently hotbox with little risks involved.

Hotboxing the right way doesn't just maximize the psychoactive effects of the weed it also helps prevent avoidable dangers because hotboxing can be hazardous if not carried out properly. The major things to put into consideration if you want to hotbox the right way include:

· The first criterion of hotboxing is an area with limited ventilation like a car, cubicle, small room, closet, etc.

· Hotboxing is better performed as a group activity because effective hotboxing should involve large amounts of smoke which can't be effectively utilized by a single individual without causing enormous health risks to such a person. So hotboxing often always involves more than one person.

· A properly performed hotboxing session should involve a generally circulated smoke cycle. Experts employ a mathematical approach to get the optimal amount of people and space that will be necessary for the derivation of the best effects.

· This mathematical approach involves the use of the hotbox equation. The equation takes the number of people smoking, the space being used, and the quantity of smoke each individual consumes into consideration to determine if the optimum smoke vs air ratio is being met.

· The amount of weed available is another key factor that plays a role in the efficiency of hotboxing. It's impossible to hotbox with one or two joints, to efficiently attain the level of smoke required for an efficient hotboxing session a large amount of weed is necessary.

· The method of smoking employed also plays a role in the efficiency of the hotboxing session. Smoking techniques that produce lots of smoke are preferable so as to make filling up the room with smoke a joy-ride.

· The higher the number of people involved in the hotboxing session the higher the amount of smoke and weed in circulation.

· Hotboxing reduces the amount of fresh oxygen being inhaled by smokers, an activity that increases the high felt by smokers. Also, based on the account of several smokers the high felt by smokers is taken a step further when they eventually leave the hotboxing room. The sudden rapid supply of fresh air increases the rate of absorption of the cannabis into the bloodstream thus elevating the high being felt.

Does hotboxing take you 'higher'?

This has been a source of debate among smokers and non-smokers alike. An ample number of people believe that hotboxing doesn't necessarily increase the level of euphoria felt and so as to get to the truth and fact of the issue a scientific study was conducted. The aim of the study was to determine if second-hand smoke elevates euphoria or not. And the results of the study clearly show that hotboxing elevates the level of euphoria gotten from cannabis. The limited amount of oxygen being supplied into the body system compared to the high amount of cannabis and co2 being inhaled was shown to be the primary reason behind the elevated levels of euphoria.

Downsides of hotboxing

Generally speaking hotboxing is safe but it might not be an activity that should be engaged in for long periods of time. The body system, the brain in particular, needs a constant supply of oxygen. The role oxygen plays in the healthy functioning of the body cannot be overemphasized, oxygen is literally the source of life of most living organisms. So depriving the brain and the body system in general of oxygen can lead to a myriad of adverse conditions.
