The body can certainly metabolize raw THC, especially when consumed with a fat substrate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11-nor-9-Carboxy-THC

It's not talking about THCA (2-COOH-THC) which is what raw cannabis contains - eating it won't do anything unless you decarboxylate first. But yes, if (after the decarb) you bind it to a fat substrate (e.g. butter, oil etc) then you'll metabolize it.
