    Sam had the ring for just a moment before he started fantasizing about leaving to come back with an army of hobbits to take mordor by force and making it into a garden. He barely managed to give it back to Frodo who had been carrying it all this time while it slowly chipped away at his mind having to constantly remind himself to not give in to its temptations while it was punishing him for not doing so with constant torment.

    But sure he was just useless, go Sam whoo!

      Book or movie? Sam had it way more than a minute in the book. The ring though effects folks based on their level of power which was why Gandalf was afraid for it to touch him for even a fraction of a second. Sam being somewhat of a simpleton (in the book) had about as much resistance as you could to it.
