3 second rule 

Originally used in basketball, often termed as lane violation.

For modern day use, it's for when you drop your food on the ground, but you say " 3 second rule!" as an excuse to say that your food remained clean.
"Yo hand me that juicy barbeque bacon burger"
"There you go bro.. *OH SHIT I DROPPED IT*"
"Pick that shit up, 3 second rule you remember?"

3 Second Weed Rule 

Hold your pot smoke for 3 seconds and exhale, because science bitches. According to Steve Liebke’s 2001 ‘A Cannabis User’s Harm Reduction Handbook,’ “Take small, shallow tokes or pulls. About 95% of THC in cannabis smoke is absorbed in the first few seconds so breath holding is quite pointless. All it really achieves is a far greater amount of tar being deposited in the lungs.”
