    Not me because bongs get me fried, but does anyone believe this?

    thc is not exactly water soluble

    its a non issue. You still get more thc then you do from most of the methods besides vaporizing.

    OK, so strictly talking THC and nothing else. It goes like this:

    THC has a solubility in water of .0028 mg/mL.

    I put about 30mL of water in my tube (I just measured)

    30mL x 0.0028 mg/mL = 0.084 mg of THC can be absorbed.

    So we are talking about 8.4 x 10^5 g of THC can be absorbed, at maximum. That equates to 0.000084g of THC

    I just read some random news report that said the average THC content in 2008 was a tick over 10% (who knows if its right). So assuming this is true, we would need 10 times the weight lost in THC added to the bowl in bud to compensate.

    So that is 0.00084g, not even a single miligram more of bud could more than compensate for the MAX loss of THC. In reality this milligram more than compensates as the conditions of the interaction between the smoke and the water are not ideal to produce maximum saturation of all of the bong water.

    how does agreeing or having an opinion about water filtering thc change the actual truth? i don't know if it does or not, but asking people to agree or disagree on something doesn't really expose the real answer.

    My intentions were to understand how a bong gets you so much higher than pipes/joints/etc.. Anyone else ever wondered this. Sorry for asking a question on a forum guys.

    Yeah so the bong water soaking up all your thc is a myth, thank you.
