Étude on THC absorption

To check the amount of THC absorbed by each of the filters, an analytical laboratory connected a pipe to a suction pump through which dozens of joints were "inhaled". Each joint contained 0.25 grams of cannabis at 14% THC content. The same test was also done through a water pipe. The test results leave no doubt; the THC residues were taken at the outlet, once purified by the filters.

In answer to the original question does the sponge filter absorb THC? Finally, yes, and until 4x times more than the cardboard filter. Thus, the cigarette filter and cardboard filter absorb more than the carbon filter and the glass filter, and lastly than the ivory (or ceramic) filter. Results of absorption indices:

  • sponge: 4.2
  • box: 1.0
  • glass & charcoal: 0.4
  • Ivory & ceramic filter: 0.2

A new joint smoking method is spreading: using spiral dough as a filter for the joint

It is recommended that you use the narrower version of spiral pasta, but regular pasta will work as well. We gave it a try and the smoke is so much sweeter and even has a new and interesting aroma.
