i have to doubt this. the action by which chemicals enter the blood stream through the lungs is a passive process, meaning that it relies on there being a lower concentration of whatever chemical on the inside of aveoli in the bloodstream which allows whatever chemical that is inhaled to be absorbed down the concentration gradient and into the bloodstream. this would mean that the longer you hold the hit in the more thc is allowed to passively cross the tissue in the lungs to enter the blood stream.

do an experiment if you want. take a hit and blow it out IMEDIATELY, and then next time you smoke, hold the hit as long as possible. im betting holding it in will get you higher.
