Remember, (when smoking) typically around 50 percent of the THC is destroyed by the heat. The rest is vapourised and then inhaled, but not all the available THC is absorbed by the bronchioles, the remainder is simply exhaled and lost.

For example, 1 gram of mid grade weed will contain around 50mg of THC. However, only around 10 to 20mg of this will actually reach a smokers bloodstream.

It's certainly true that cooking requires: time, preparation and an understanding of the science behind THC preservation in order for it to be successful, but on average, ingested weed is around 4x more efficient. Plus the overall effects are significantly more intense.

Don't get me wrong I love smoking, but it doesn't get me anywhere near as 'baked' as the same amount cooked!
Maybe you need to experiment with some other recipes/techniques?

Yes, you make alotta sense.. My own experiences were not so good, but it was obviously due to my lack of preperation..:thumbsup:
