Yes... usually weed is not completly cured, so it has some inactive cannabinoids (THCA) in it. Microwaving it (or heating it) transforms this inactive cannabinoids to THC (the active one), thus increasing the weeds potency. This effect is specially noticeable in freshly harvested bud, schwagg/mids, and any weed that wasnt completly and properly cured. Sometimes the increase in potency can be VERY great. There are a lot of threads about it... if you want more info, search "decarboxilation".
(BTW, doing this before smoking also gives good results... the high becomes more sativa-like [mind high].)
Anyway... it may not be the cause of failure. Did you eat them with an empty stomach? Cause eating weed with a full stomach usually doesnt work. Also, it isnt everybody who can get high from eating weed... i dont know why its so, maybe some people cant metabolyze the THC orally taken... also, the high is different from the smoked one, its onset is way slower, so many people actually gets high from eating weed, but doesnt notice it cause the effects are way subtler...
I think making weed edibles is a bit of an art, and its a bit tricky too, so dont be disappionted if your first try were a failure... sooner or later you will succeed...
