Taking a Hit

“Taking a hit” simply means inhaling smoke or vapor from weed. The method and device you use doesn’t matter. Whether you’re using a joint, pipe, bong, or vape, taking a hit is the what you do when you draw the smoke or vapor into your lungs.

You start by lighting up your choice of gear—maybe sparking a joint or clicking on your vape. Once it’s going, you take a deep breath in to fill your lungs with smoke or vapor. Hold it for a few seconds to let the effects set in.

Then you exhale slowly, savoring the moment and getting ready for the next round if you want more. Some people think holding it longer makes it stronger, but it’s mostly about enjoying the experience.

Whether you’re solo or chilling with friends and passing around whatever you’re smoking, each hit is part of what makes smoking weed such an enjoyable ritual. It’s personal yet social and definitely a key part of any session.
