HELLS YEAH!
Eating is the only way to roll its pleasant and comes in waves like a trip! When mother nature blessed us with cannabis i dont think smoking it was her plan. I just melt 5 grams of kind into the oil at low temp before making instant brownie mix(start with about 20-25% more oil than recipe requires) once the weed is brown strain it and toss the plant matter then bake as normal. A 2" by 2" brownie will do the job nicely! As far as losing some cannabiniods it is my opinion that you lose the ones that cloud the high and retain the desired ones that give a clear an clean feeling.This is what i like

Dont mess with stress get the good stuff. You cant beat the high grade sativa for clarity. Indica will make you more tired IMHO. The only time I have ever had major realizations of self on MJ was when i smoked a rediculous amount of hash or when i ate it. Happy trails.
