Eat it or smoke it

Which one is really worse? I have heard that when you are baking with marijuana it has a stronger overall effect, but is it the same as smoking just more intense? I have never really found anyone that knows the answer to this one.

I don't know that there's much of a difference, effect-wise. Smoking is arguably worse because it can cause some of the same sort of damage that cigarettes do.

My personal opinion is that smoking is worse because you are damaging your lungs. However, I'm not convinced that baking it is better because my vote is still up in the air as to whether it has any medicinal benefits.

when you eat it, your liver will transform THC into another compound 3 times stronger...that's what i read, and if you try it you will understand...you need much less quantity os marijuana eaten to give you a big high, than when you smoke it...the effects will start later and last longer, somehow like a big "smoke high", like in everything, some people can react bad, especially if you aren't a usual smoker, this is: the usual marijuana physical disconfort when you aren't use to it, increased heart rate and decreased blood pressure. but then it depends on the person, i didn't experiment any bad trip but some friends said that they almost thought they were dying of heartache, obviously in enormous doses lol
your lungs may be spared from the same amount of smoke, but eating will not make you forget your splif, you will still smoke, maybe a little less, the more you're used to smoke the more you will smoke, cause marijuana makes you reach a peak of high that you can only maintaing by smoking or eat it more and more, if you don't you will easily get back to normal, so that why that EATING IS "WORSE" (better?lol), cause when you eat you still smoke, and the hight is less controllable cause it lasts longer, it doesn't stop like when you stop smoking...ahah good trip
