whenever i cook with weed, i grind up the bud first and put a little bit of oil onto a frying pan, and just fry it for about 30 seconds on really low heat, sounds mad but its fine and activates the thc real good, just make sure you dont burn the weed.
reason i do this is because i used to just put it straight in the cookie mix and cook it, and i never got that high untill like 4 hours after i ate the thing, by then id be ready for bed and wake up the next day baked as fuck.
so yeah just a bit of advice you might wanna give it a go.

peace.
