welp, from what I know, you gotta heat the weed in order to activate the cannabinoids. do a forum search for 'nips' and 'cannabutter', should answer all your questions.

basically if you make cannabutter, you use it like you would regular butter in recipies, or put it on stuff and let it melt. the cereal idea would probably be fun, but you wouldn't get high unless it was like microwave oatmeal-holy shit! can cannabutter be made with a microwave? why have I never thought of that? does anybody know if that would work?

wow...tangent city there...but yeah, hot cereal MIGHT work, but I dunno. brownies would be a better bet, but I don't know how much running you'll be able to do...
