Your friend.

No it is possible to eat bud but it is really stupid because eating it without a fatty substance means most of the THC will not effect you. You would need to eat a 1/4 or so. So it would taste bad and it would be a waste of bud.

I've been tempted to eat some before. After I smoked... well, a lot of bowls (lost count), I remember started to look at a nice big clump of weed and being tempted to just eat it right there on the spot.

i dont see why it wouldnt work though i mean yea it would taste kinda weird but your stomach still should break down and digest everything in it...

Your wrong though, your stomach doesnt break it down, it needs to be extracted into something like butter.

Your wasting weed if you eat a bud trying to get high.

dude, DO NOT EAT STRAIGHT WEED!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL NOT GET YOU HIGH!!!!!!!!! what you do is:

sautee it in some butter or other substance containing lots of fat, mix that shit in brownies or cake or something, and enjoy the ride, my man!

THC is not water soluble, which means it will not disolve in to water easily (which includes blood), if at all. So in order for it to get in to the bloodstream (mostly water), and eventually the brain (where cannabinoid receptors lie waiting), it must be disolved into something that will eventually enter the bloodstream. Good candidates include butter, oil, etc that undergo lipolysis to form lipoproteins and such, which can carry water insoluble molecules (THC) in water (blood) - to your brain. So you have THC (bud) and Lipids/Fats (butter), now what? Now the THC must be heated (catalyzed) to cause it to disolve out in to the fatty substance at a higher rate. The hotter you heat it, the more THC released (but not too hot, or you will break the molecular bonds that hold THC together). That is why baking works well - medium heat for a respectable time period, especially if you already made cannabutter. I'm pretty baked myself right now. Science is fun...
