Eating dried buds

I suppose you probably would get some effect from eating a plain dried bud, but it will be hard to swallow, irritating to the stomach and gut, and you will probably be wasting most of the potential of the bud.

As a reasonable alternative, try what's known as a "Leary cracker" (or "biscuit").

Supposedly late in life Tim Leary couldn't or wouldn't smoke anymore, so he would grind up a dried bud, sprinkle it on top of some cheese put on a cracker, then nuke it in the microwave oven for a short bit.

The fat from the melting cheese would dissolve out the cannabinoids, and the temperature would activate them.

This is probably THE fastest/easiest way to process a bud for ingestion, and its cheap and easy enough to do that I don't a reason to mess with plain dry buds!

Decarbdoxylation/activating will occur naturally over time. I have had mixed results eating raw weed from not much happening to quite stoned.Best results were with old weed that was almost a powder. I would eat it about 40 minutes after a light breakfast of a greasy egg and toast with real butter. this is the ideal meal prescribed on other sites to keep your liver from processing edibles too quickly. Usually mixed a heaping teaspoon into a small cup of yogurt. The buzz was similar to the buzz from prescribed levels of low doses of narcotics like you would get for dental work. This is not the best way to consume weed and my results were varied, but I certainly felt it.

Have also simply eaten small pieces of bud rolled into pill shaped pieces and swallowed. Gives me a mellow, marijuana influenced sense of sedation. Great for family events where smelling of weed is inappropriate. I have heard other elements beside thc have sedative and analgesic effects and these may be what I have felt. Also my tolerance is about as low as it can be right now. In my glory days of heavy smoking I doubt that I would feel much from oral ingestion.
