Busting the Myth That Water Filtration in Cannabis Consumption Makes Smoking Weed Safer

A new study from researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Thailand has dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the foundation of stoner science.

The results? “Bong water does not seem to significantly filter out any compound from the smoke.”
