THC needs to be heated before being eaten because in the fresh plant its in the form of THC-A (acid).
THC-A is THC with an extra carboxyl molecular group (a co2 molecule attached, might be CO not sure).
Anyway, heating it past a certain temp causes decarboxylation, that carboxyl group detaches itself from the THCa and becomes co2 gas (or co cant remember), leaving behind nice THC delta 9
The heat has little to do with absorbtion into whatever food you're using.
