Butter Up

Yes, you can simply eat buds straight off the stem until you get high, but it will take a lot of chewing and cost a ton of money, because when you eat "raw" marijuana, your stomach can only absorb a small portion of the THC and other cannabinoids in the plant. You need to give those molecules something to bind onto, which means the most efficient way to ingesting cannabis resins involves slowly simmering, the buds and leaves in something with a high fat content, like butter, cream, or oil.

Thank you High Times.
