Anyway to avoid that "burnt-out" feeling?

Doesn't microwaving bud destroy the THC?

That is what you would think, wouldn't you? I thought the exact same thing myself until I went and tried it. It most certaintly doesn't destroy the THC, and I feel it makes it more potent, less harsh, and makes you less sleepy as well. 15 seconds in the microwave, or 5 minutes at 325 with a little tinfoil tent in the oven, or even boiling it as thc is not water soluable.
