Water soluble THC?

[meangreengrowinmachine]

Is there a way for the layman at home to make water soluble THC? Thinking of trying to make my own infused soda water or kombucha or something like that... would I need to make a tincture and then therefore have alcohol present? If so... how concentrated can one make a tincture and still have it mix with the water... if it will. I did a quick Google search and saw some things about nano emulsion???

I've been playing around with infusing my rosin into honey which makes it little easier and pleasant to mix into drinks.

Interesting! Have you been documenting anything on a thread by chance?

Sorry, no. I've tried with one gram of rosin into 1/2 cup of honey...quickly tried 2 grams next. Still work in progress

afaik ... no.
Some have tried cyclodextrins. But they are “health category not known”.

You need a micelle solution which requires use of an emulsifier. Although it's only soluble in oil or alcohol you can hold it in a colloidal solution which can be close enough to mimic plain water.

How about making a coconut oil, soy lecithin, and thc mixture. Would that possibly be water soluble?

I would not use soy lecithin. It is strongly estrogenic.

This is where experimenting begins. You do research on creating colloidal solutions by emulsification and then start experimenting. Here's a nice introduction:

Turning THC & CBD Water Soluble

I’m trying to make tinctures for my friends and family. I currently have isolate and distillate I keep getting different answers. Glycerin, liposomes, detergents, solvents and Curcumin. I do not want to put any BS in there and want to be as natural as possible. Appreciate the input. -Reese

You're welcome, please report back on what you end up finding out with your own research.

Hmm so far I have seen two of the ideas I have had being used on that thread (lecithin and alcohol tincture) so it sounds like in a pinch they will work but that there are much better but more technical ways. Lots to go through here. Thanks again!
