Hypoxia and Medicine

Will marijuana have an effect on my body's reaction to high altitudes?

so me and my buddies are going down to ecuador over the summer and it is a really long flight down there, so Im figuring that i'll bring some weed brownies to make the flight seem somewhat shorter. We are going to be up in the mountainous regions of ecuador where the elevation is really high. Will eating these have an effect on how my body reacts to altitude since I wont be smoking it? (and also, what about dip?)

1. It is the transportation and not the eating I'd be worried with. You will want to be well hydrated, well rested and limit alcohol. The brownies should not be a problem. Nicotine from dip may cause a problem.
