Because bong water is a mixture, and not a solution, the activated cannabanoids (in certain cases) never leave the original plant matter.

Cannabanoids are not soluble in water, but they dont have to be part of a solution to remain in the mix, simply because they are heavier than the air that carries them (uphill) at higher tempitures.

As the vapor, smoke, and particulate cool in water, the particulate will settle, even if it does not change the chemical composition of the water it enters.

I'd give you a source, but they don't often do studies on marijuana, and never do new studies on chem 101 principles. If you'd like to read more, you can start with a google search for "what is the difference between a solution and a mixture" and then start to research why hot matter rises, while coolers matter falls.

It's a pretty interesting section of science, that I really think everyone can enjoy.
