Heres the lowdown on ingesting mj from my expeirience.
first of all it does most certainly get you high, but how much you need to eat depends on how much weed was concentrated in the butter you used to make the brownies/cookies (which is how you add weed to said foods)
secondly its not nearly as fast of a high, smoking it should hit you immediately or in the next 5 minutes because of direct absorbtion from the lungs into the blood stream whereas with ingestion the thc has to be broken away from the cookies and will take about an hour. both last just as long.
thirdly its fun to do because its a different high, its a body high as opposed to a head high, your body and sensations will feel great but you wont exactly be getting the giggles. be careful though, because i went to a cub after eating cookies and the music was so loud to me it was annoying so i had to leave. i.e clubs are a better place for smoking
number 4, it isnt safer. smoking marajuana is actually better for your lungs rather than worse because it opens up and stimulates the alveoli allowing better oxygen exchange. the negative affects of weed are in its effect on the brain after long term usage as well as its main function as a gateway drug (been out a lot of nights where a friend will say wow this is great i wonder what its like to be on _____ and i'll smack em for even thinking it.)
number 5, most casual smokers you wont find doing this more than just on occasion to increase the high because for one, it takes an hour to hit you and for two the process of putting the thc in the butter is a waste of thc and no one wants to waste any of that now do we :)
So basically, if you're gonna have weed. i say smoke it, especially because it takes a couple times smoking before it really hits you and its more of a general high which is great.
Be sure to have plenty of doritos and snacks around, happy smokings.

Yes, high. It takes longer to get high because the THC has to travel to the small intestine before it is absorbed into your system. The high lasts longer than if smoked and is just as intense. The maryjane must be cooked into the brownie to be effective. Just eating buds raw will not get you high. Because your digestive system won't break down the herb. The raw herb will just move through your system and you will not absorb the THC. Cooking the herb will extract the THC into the brownie so you can absorb the drug. Yes, it's safer than smoking!

yes it can, but not as intensely, its safer in the sense that because there's no flame, there's no carcinogens being created
