I suspect that you don't think that cannabis is soluble? But that you mean THC is? 2 points worth mentioning - THC locked in fat cannot affect the brain (that's what THC does: it's a psychoactive chemical). The second point is even if it's released from the fat (by heavy exercise 'burning' fat) Studies have shown that this is less than 1% of the THC Qty in the bloodstream as when actually taking the cannabis. In other words THC in a Cannabis user's fat is there - but has no significance when discussing level of intoxication.
