BTW, THC is NOT water soluable. It is soluable in alcohol and fat though, which is why potka and weed brownies (pot that has been ground up and left in vodka for a long while, and brownies baked with special butter or just straight cannabis, respectively) are popular. I've spoken to a guy that has mainlined (injected) keif dissolved in ethanol (keif is the crystals on pot, it's as close as you can get to pure THC in nature). He said is was the cleanest high he's ever gotten.
Nah, it vaporizes more than just THC.. as you say, there are a few dozen different cannabinoids in cannabis.. and that's why each strain gives it's own unique high. I agree though that a vaporizer will be different than smoking, much "cleaner" a high.
Kief(keef, whatever) is the pre-cursor to the block kind of hash(versus solvent-hash and hash oil).
