Water absorbs THC???!?

[sackagonj12]

ok let me just say this a little better

my buddy told me that bong water actually absorbs thc so you arent getting as high as you could be getting and that the reason people think that bongs get you so much higher is because you take much larger hits so your getting more thc in one hit then you would from a dry piece

Did that clear it up?

Personally I'd rather have a smooth hit than .5% more THC in my bloodstream. Either way

Good point. .5% sounds a small price to pay if you like bong hits.

now.

1. Bong water absorbs THC.
2. Bong hits get you ripped because the hits are bigger.

Those two statements are unrelated. So YOU are wrong, not the OP or his long-time smoking friend.

the statements "bong water absorbs THC" and "Bong hits gets you ripped" are the original poster's friend's statements. thus, if you claim that i am wrong then you my friend need to smoke some more.

i am really high right now but still this entire post smells like win

Yes THC is water soluable, it is just fairly small in retrospect to your amount of water. You can't really put a "percent" on something with many variables, such as amount of smoke, is it perked, and water volume. But yes, Wikipedia says it best:

Solubility in water 2.8 mg/L

Meaning that for every liter of water you have, 2.8mg of THC can be absorbed. Which I'm guessing is at optimal temperature.

Ill take a water filtered hit over a dry hit every single time, even if it means 1/2 of a hit less at the end of a session. It only filters out a negligible amount.

WATER DOES NOT ABSORB THC AND THC IS NOT WATER SOLUBLE.

What happens is the cooling causes THC to condense and fall out of the air/smoke.

You are right in concluding that using water removes some of the THC, but the THC does not get absorbed by the water. When the THC floating around near the water cools enough, it falls, literally, and resinates the side of the bong or it sits on top of the water.


And it happens in

Not even worth bothering over.

You can get higher using less weed, but taking more smaller hits with a dry bong. With a wet bong you can get higher by using a little more weed and taking it in one giant hit.

Geez, finally someone that knows what they're talking about. Ignorance is going to (and already is) ruin this world...please research things before you go spreading rumors.

Yeah know what?
If you drink bong water you get fucked like you would off an edible.
TRY IT.

THC is hydrophobic. It IS NOT water soluble. Im not sure about the other CBNs but it would still be an incredibly insignificant amount.

You need to read what the OP wrote and then read what you wrote. You made a completely incorrect conclusion because of your inability to correctly interpret what the OP quite clearly stated.
