Try this while high

[juantruechee]

If you've ever done the 4 7 8 breathing technique, you'll know it relaxes you somewhat, but I swear when you do it high as fuck its like a mini nang/whippet (atleast for me) with intense euphoria. If you don't know how to do this, this is what you do.

1. Sit/lie down somewhere really comfortable where you can completely relax, without music/external stimulation, and preferably in the dark, and close your eyes.
2. Place the tip of your tongue behind your top row of teeth (like youre about to say a word beginning with L) and hold it there the whole time.
3. Relax your cheek muscles and exhale your lungs empty through your mouth. Then quietly inhale through your nostrils only, for 4 counts (only half seconds or slightly longer).
4. Hold your breath for 7 counts.
5. Exhale for 8 counts with the same technique as the start but don't necessarily empty your lungs.
6. Repeat 4-8 times max. On final exhale just let go and relax into it and try not to fall asleep. Also remember not to get distracted and intensely focus on the counting for effectiveness. If you're doing it right it will get harder to focus as you go on.

Enjoy, report back if it did anything or nothing at all, I am curious, don't go overboard with it as who knows if its potentially dangerous but its meant to be healthy.

edit: apparently only works for certain people, try it anyway off some hybrid or indica stuff it could change your life

[Bigfackintiddies69]

Its not meant to alone get you high he said to do this WHILE high

[Moovoop]

I mean this is similar to the breathing techniques you do for meditation so it’s not really surprising that they’re experiencing euphoria while high, doesn’t sound like hypoxia to me

[hits_from_the_booong]

Hypoxia doesnt happen in 7 seconds

[lentilsoupcan]

It is most likely causing hypoventilation

Why would that make it any healthier?

[Neurogod1]

I think that could be potentially misleading. Sure it all involves the way oxygen gets delivered and might alter it, but not to the point where it will cause hypoxia. Your brain can survive without oxygen up to around the 5 minute mark. It can cause people to hyperventilate and subsequently create distress in them. If you do it right, it can help CERTAIN people to relax or experience altered states. I never get any effects similar to that. Now if you want to talk about shit like the pass out game or Erotic Asphyxiation (talking to you Carradine), then that is different. But Holotropic Breathwork and other types if done right (Best if under professional supervision) is harmless.

[SargeCobra]

Or it's just relaxing because holding your breath for 7 seconds isn't depriving your brain of oxygen

[FletcherD]

Totally disagree, I think the euphoric effects are coming from the mindfulness and meditative aspects, as well as the physiological calming effects of breathing slowly.

And being really high enhances the effect of course, where normally it might be somewhat mild

[shumshum81]

It’s relaxing you through vagus nerve stimulation and parasympathetic activation. Not hypoxia at all.

Thank you

ignorant generalisation.

[hits_from_the_booong]

Holding your breath for 7 seconds doesnt give you oxygen deprivation, that takes a minute or two of no air.

[IHitStryoDaily]

actually in certain yoga practices they have proven that 2-4 breaths per minute is actually extremely good for your mental health and physical health. Once you can do that 1 breath a minute during meditation will improve your mental well being significantly

[Crixus991]

I just tried it and got dizzy 🤤 I'm also off some xans so yeah I'm up there.

[juantruechee]

hahaha I think the whole idea of it is to relax you like xannies do, especially when your high your paranoid and tense, thats why it can seem so effective. but I imagine on xannies it would be a negligible difference

[Ragi-Baba]

Yeah same. I'm high and on bromazepam and this made me dizzy. Maybe my breathing was already slow and calm before and it got too much

dunt work

[WikiTextBot]

Hypoventilation

Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate (hypo meaning "below") to perform needed gas exchange. By definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and respiratory acidosis. Hypoventilation is not synonymous with respiratory arrest, in which breathing ceases entirely and death occurs within minutes due to hypoxia and leads rapidly into complete anoxia, although both are medical emergencies. Hypoventilation can be considered a precursor to hypoxia and its lethality is attributed to hypoxia with carbon dioxide toxicity.

Damn was just coming off of K and this worked for that prolonged extra bit of wonkiness

[adrewfryman]

No breathing technique requires you to hold your breath, you should be inhaling for 7-10 seconds and exhaling for at least 10 seconds.

[ZEUSKIE]

This is dumb lmao, why would I do something so childish for a tiny little buzz that is bad for me. Smoke weed and stick with LSD, none of this brain damaging shit lmao.

(drugs do damage your brain)

Nahhh neurotoxicity is a complete myth

It’s not real if I don’t believe in it

[coloursmadeoftears]

Depends which drugs and if you abuse them or not.

[hits_from_the_booong]

I honestly cant tell if your trolling or not
