Does THC degrade in water when you water cure?

LOL IDK if your high or just read my question wrong.
But I asked if THC degrades in water. Not if it's water soluble.
I heard somewhere THC degrades after being in water for so long.
I was wondering if this is right. And if so, how long in the water until it starts degrading.

Oh OK.... I wish he would've said it tha way you said it straight forwardly cuz I'm too high to understand.
lolThanks to tha both of you!
So technically I could store THC in water forever without it ever degrading huh? Then why haven't anyone said this before?

THC is not water soluable. Does that mean you can leave it in water for extended periods with no ill affects? Not likely. A gentle bath may be fine but extended exposure and abuse is not good.

OK how long is a gentle bath? And how long until it is not good?
I'm just going to go out on a limb and say the specific answer you're looking for has not been scientifically determined. Hence any information provided to you would be hearsay, stoner or no.
I have an easily-searchable thread going on about water curing. Perhaps a little more research on some other forums could point you in the right direction?
Take some advice from your signature, and do what I do. Try it.
Anything degrades(rots) if left in water long enough. To water cure all you need is about a week of being submerged. Experiment, try a small sample first and see how you like it.

I already did it. I bought 4 mason jars. Using tap water.
1) After 5 days it tasted really really harsh.
2) After 7 days it tasted really really smooth.
3) After 10 days it was still smooth but I notice a little less in potency.
4) After 12 days it was still smooth but I notice a lot less in potency.
So in my little experiment potency seems to be loss after 10 days.
I'm high right now so I don't know if I truly made any sense here but I'll read over it again when I'm sober and edit it.

IDK.... I only had four jars and only dried them on those four day above respectively....
I'll try it again when I get some more buds.... But It'll be a while.... So looking it up on the net is the net best alternative....
