No, it is different, more of a "body type" high rather than a mental high. I like it better actually because it lasts longer (for me anyway) than smoking it.
It's similar, but not entirely the same. Your liver metabolizes THC differently when you eat it. I believe it turns it to D9-THC, which is x times stronger than THC. I dunno, I can't find a source for it right now for some reason. I just know that when I eat it, I feel even slower and dumber than I normally do lol but it's cool cuz like the other guys said, it does last a lot longer than smoking it. Do it up, you'll love it. I'm about to go make some cannabutter for tomorrow's festivities
I've never really been high off brownies. I don't know why. I always end up smoking later on instead.
Eating turns you into more of a couch potato. The problem I have is that it takes close to and hour to kick it, so I end up smoking too, and then I'm wrecked.
Eating a lot of weed in baked goods will give you a longer and stronger completely stoned experience, almost psychedelic. It's awesome.
