For me, an eating high is much longer lasting (maybe 4 hours) than a smoking high (1-2 hours), and you don't get tired very quickly. It's also easier to consume wherever you so please. Also, maybe this is just me, but I seem to get more of a body high when eating and more of a mind high while smoking. But yeah, eating rocks, especially if you buy pre-made cookies or brownies like I can from my dealer, not having to worry about where to smoke. The giveaway smell won't get all over you, which is nice if you're still in high school and you have to go home to your parents. Also, the process of cooking with some buddies is pretty fun. I would def recommend it.
