What could heat possibly do to THC or the other active ingredients other than this mysterious word "activate" that people seem to throw around?

Heat will definately break down the chemicals so they are smaller and are able to fit in the pores of your mouth, stomach and lungs easier. But heating, then cooling, and expecting it to make a difference in consumption? I dont think so.

Why? For me, I'd like to know if I can get a decent high while I am unable to smoke or bake a delicious recipe.

are you high? Its a known fact that the THC is not active until heated. Thats why people smoke it. and bake it. If you could just eat it plain, why the hell would people smoke it? Heat makes it so the THC boils and then can bind with fat cells or go into your lungs. Without heat, the THC will not be active and will not cause any effect.
