[edit] Questionable deletion

This article, describing the infusion of cannabis in water, was deleted on disputed grounds on 20 August. The article has been rewritten and one earlier version has been restored to comply with the GFDL. --Tony SidawayTalk 22:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is not souluable in water. For a tea, it must either be in a fat solution (whole milk is commonly used in Indian "bhang" along with spices and of course cannabis) or an alcohol solution (wine was purportedly used by the ancient Greeks, the alcohol only serving as a vehicle for the THC)

The Cannabinoids article indicates that THC is only one of ~60 "active ingredients", and that other cannabinoids may be water-soluble under specific circumstances.

This article: http://www.drugs-plaza.com/recipessimplecannabistea.htm states you can make cannabis tea by adding a small amount of butter. I haven't tried it, however if it is true it could be worthly adding it to the article. I don't like tea with milk and I might not be the only one :) --Rikva 16:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why this was labelled NPOV, since it isnt specified here, but I am removing it and suggesting a merge instead of a deletion and have this redirect to Cannabis (drug). Flying Hamster 22:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
