First the brownies:
jeez, have some sense, theres no reason u cant cook the hash, crumble it, THEN put it in the gel cap.

People should take posts on this site with a little more of a light heart, if you disagree how about not assuming that you are the right one at the 1st moment. Then maybe il agree with you. Which, as it happens i do, whatever you put in the gel-cap will be absorbed by your body [THC-wise anyhoo], hell, you could even put raw bud in the cap.

stonerpoet:
perhaps if you heated the element enough, you could remove the flame before taking the hit, so u just pull air through, it heats up in the element, passes over the weed, picks up the THC vapour, cools a bit in the little passages, then its in your lungs.

to be honest i only thought about it for about 2 minutes anyhow.

the thing about ingesting weed is that the absorption of THC is close to 100% whereas with a joint, it is maybe half that [dont really know the specifics, but it is a lot less] and that is only from the smoke that enters your lungs, why not try putting just, say, one joints worth into a whole batch of brownies, or even less. I dont know how well known the glastonbury festival is in america but i got this wonderful flapjack there that tasted soooo good, and we just got slighly warm inside, a bit fuzzy u know.
