Its almost 100% right... the amount of THC be increased greatly by heating it, but the amount of THC that already is in the bud sometimes is enough to get you (at least) barely high... I know from my own experience, as my very first attempt with weed was eating, raw, some 0.5g of it... i got slightly high, or maybe i got higher than i remember, but as i was a newbie maybe i didnt recognized all the effects of the weed, and thought i was less high than actually was.
Anyway, eating raw weed is a enormous waste. The absorption of it can be made far greater simply grinding it to a VERY fine powder and mixing it with some fatty thing, like cheese or butter (in the firecrackers), or in the brownies/cookies mixes, or several another recipes. :stoned::eat::thumbsup:
