Interesting. I remember stories of people “hallucinating” when they ate pot. This was many years ago — 3 plus decades.
Maybe there is some truth to the “myth” and by eating it, you can consume more and maybe the stomach digestive acids change it properties. Or maybe there are other chemicals that are neutralized by burning pot but are potent when eaten.
I admit people to the hospital on a fairly regular basis that are psychotic and hallucinating while smoking or consuming marijuana. Many are hearing the voice of God and/or Satan. Many others think that others are out to hurt them, including their loved ones.
You can see how that could very easily end up in tragedy. I say tragedy, but I consider it an assumed risk of consuming a mind-altering substance.
