Cooking and heating weed releases more of the THC, meaning you can eat it and get high easier. But if you eat a whole fucking quarter, you're gonna be pretty high, whether you heat or not. It's also very inefficient and wastes weed if you eat it without cooking/heating it. So, it's still recommended that you make cannabutter. Basically, sauté your weed in butter for about 30 minutes, then strain out all the solid weed with cheesecloth or something, then cook using the butter you just used. It'll get you FUCKED up. :thumbsup:
