They are just giving you shit because of the astounding naiveté of your question. A simple search or even reading the newspaper will tell you "yes, you can eat cannabis". I'm not trying to be an ass, but where have you been for the last decade with all the medical marijuana stories going around? A large number of MM patients consume their cannabis rather than smoking it. Eating it does work. Takes much, much longer for effects to be felt, but the effects can often be stronger than smoking. The quality of the high is also different in that it is a much more sedate and dreamlike high than smoking produces. Be careful though as some have done way too much because they think it's not working so they consume more then WHAM! it all hits and the next thing they are calling 911 because they think they are going to die. (it has happened, the calling 911, not dieing. Cannabis has no known toxicity in humans)
Ignore them. In my experience eating a few buds don't do shit. If i take a bag though and cook it, i get high as fuck. Heat then eatin does something.
No, this is exactly the type of place you should be. You will receive no-bullshit, urban myth, propaganda here. A lot of people here are very knowledgeable and are very willing to answer your questions. Maybe you just need to adopt a little thicker internet skin and give back as good as you get.:2thumbsup: Welcome and stick around, we aren't all that bad, well at least some of us aren't, I'm just a dick, it says so right down there.
I myself as I am sure many other people here have made weed brownies. I like them, but I have to eat 4 or 5 of the size I cute them to get good and high, whereas a buddy of mine eats one and is fucked for hours, so I guess it depends. Everything effects everyone differently.
Well you obviously aren't making it strong enough. Try making it with hash oil and see how many it takes
