Why I doubt eating is as effective as smoked cannabis

Because it doesn't hit you at once. It leaves the stomach in bits and the bits get absorbed one by one. We lose a lot more weed than we get.

I was expecting something a little more in depth/scientific than that when I read the thread title tbh.

It conflicts with science and our experiences.

Basically, there are a number of things to consider here.

1.The efficiency of smoking versus eating at delivering cannabis into your body.
Eating-perfect efficiency, obviously.
Smoking-cannabis is destroyed by burning, it is impossible to inhale all smoke, or to absorb all the THC from the smoke.

2. The effect of first-pass metabolism- when smoked, this is avoided. When eaten, most THC is metabolised to 11-OH-THC, which is more potent than THC itself. Having said that, it is possible that some THC is metabolised to inactives.

3. The relative bioavailability of smoked vs. oral THC- This I don't know, and doubt anyone does, as it's not the sort of thing studies get funded for.

So are you of the opinion that eating is stronger and lasts longer than smoking?
 
lol I hear ya but it seems like you're asking the same thing in a different thread everyday. :D

I think you're just going to have to try it. Go buy a 1/4 and get yourself in the kitchen! :)
