so i've seen in the media the whole making brownies and stuff out of weed. does it provide the same effect if taken in a non-smoking fashion?

Maybe, maybe not. THC is best absorbed into the bloodstream via inhalation into the lungs, and stomach acids can actually break down and destroy the THC before it even reaches your bloodstream, though some amount is still likely to slip through.

If you want to try pot brownies, you may have best results if you thoroughly chew the brownie portions into a mush and hold it in your mouth for a minute or so before swallowing, as the THC can transfer to your bloodstream via saliva glands (and given enough time for absorption can actually get you high pretty fast).

If you do try it, let me know how it goes.

Well, on the occasions where is simply is not possible to smoke, i chew up my weed along with a snickers bars and YES suprisingly i get the same effect only without the nastiness of smoke which makes me wonder why they dont make thc gelcaps or something.

Eating is inferior to smoking, both are inferior to vaporizing. If you eat it more THC is metabolized to active but less fun chemicals by the liver before it reaches your brain. With smoking more THC is damaged by the high temperature + oxygen, again resulting in active but less fun chemicals.

This assumes you prefer the psychedelic effects to the depressant effects, reverse everything if it's the other way round.

not if ingested with a snickers bar asshole

why snickers bar?
