// Definition
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) has extremely low water solubility, meaning it does not dissolve readily in water. This basic chemistry fact was highlighted when Colorado police falsely claimed THC was found in municipal water supplies, prompting ridicule from the Hash Church panel.
// From the Episode
Dr. Mark Scialdone explained that THC inside the encapsulated gland head can float and be suspended in water (as in water hash extraction) but is not truly soluble. Anyone who has tried to clean a bong with just water knows this. The false positive came from unreliable field test kits.
