you should of put another option, i like to hold it in 15-20 seconds, so its not a sec, but its nowhere near how long i could hold it in for.

Theirs only a certain percentage of THC in the smoke,
and your inhaling it for the THC.
So just inhale for a couple of seconds and youll absorb all the THC.
The rest is just making your lungs get blacker.

Right on, so far the consensus is hold that shit for a little bit but not too long. This has been the procedure forever so it seems we're on track. Thanks. =)

hold that shit, except it doesnt matter either way, you absorb all of the THC within a few seconds. but hey, makes us look cooler 
"The alveoli in your lungs can only hold so much air/smoke etc. Once the alveoli have been filled, you can't absorb anymore of whatever is in the passageways to your alveoli. The reason a shotgun works is because there is still THC in all the myriad passageways that go to the alveoli. When you exhale into the lungs of your shotgun recipient, that's what they get, the leftover THC that your body can't absorb.
Remember, there are a lot of passageways to the alveoli, including your trachea and the bronchi (the passages that lead to your alveoli).
If you hold your breath long enough (5 seconds), all you'll do is reabsorb the carbon dioxides and monoxides that your lungs are designed to expell when you exhale, because they (the carbon dioxides etc) replace the THC and oxygen that your body absorbed from the alveoli originally. Plus, the tars will settle in your alveoli and start to block them, leading the way to emphysema and other nasty lung diseases/conditions."

Nice! And now we know, count to 5 Mississippi and it's time to shotgun that hit to your significant other for maximum absorption. =)

well from my understanding holing it in increases the contact time of the smoke with the aveola saks in your lungs. longer exposure equals bigger uptake, to a certain extent. gasses in the lungs equalize with the blood. so the high concentration of weed smoke in your lungs will force its way into your blood until the concentration is equal. this is called diffusion. another aspect of holding your you breath is the buildup of carbon dioxide in your blood which decreases the amount of oxygen to your brain which im sure intensifies the effect. a lil anatomy and physiology for ya. and im sure you've all noticed if you hold in in longer less smoke comes out. Hmmm i wonder where it went...So what do think, hold those hits in as long as you can, just a bit, or makes no difference? Vote now! Thanks, peace. =)

Man that sucks that you pee when you cough. Also I agree that the reason you feel higher when you hold it in longer is probably oxygen deprivation.

maybe hold it in about 5 seconds max.. but when i come across the super dank with alot of taste ill hold those hits in longer but only with tasty weed.. and i agree with what some of you have said about holding it in longer does not make you higher!! the longer you hold in the more oxy your body looses faster which is what causes you to feel higher but thats probley not good on the healthy side of gettin fadded and on top of what ever the weed does to ur body like thins ur blood or speeds up or turns down your heart beat and then on top of it your taking your oxygen levels way low all just to get high¿?¿?...
