ok. 1st off, i smoke now, and have always inhaled...the first 2 times i smoke a lot and it didnt affect me at all. then the 3rd time i got wicked high. i think it depends on the person. im sure some ppl dont get high bc they are not inhaling but i know that i was smoking it just like i do today and i couldnt get high my first time. BUT anyways: i just made POT BROWNIES yesterday. i used 1/2 ounce of pretty good weed. i read one place to cook it for hours, but most said 25-30 mins. i shreded the weed, then took out the big pieces of stems. then i cooked it in oil on low heat for 30 mins. i ate one reg size brownie and i was baked for 8 hours. so i def dont think its neccessary to cook it longer, im pretty sure all the thc came out. it was great.
