Isn't THC fat-soluble? Water is probably not the best way to extract it from the plant matter
It is fat soluble, but it will also bind to glycerine which is how they make the hemp sodas I love so much. It will also bind to alcohol but I don't use that for spiritual reasons. Anyway my extraction efficiency is probably only like 60% but it would otherwise be compost, so I'd rather get high on it
Also making the drink intently mixedly intoxicating might not be the best idea.
Oh, I see, thanks for the explanation!
