This idea has been around for many decades. You are going to have to mineralize the water as you can not drink distilled water very long without leaching out minerals form your body.

Why not just find a way to catch the condensation from the High Ball glasses of our ‘betters’ in Congress, while they chew the fat at the bar, finding ways to SCREW US, while they await their Prime Rib dinners (on our dime!) to be served?

Problem solved! ;)

This idea has been around for many decades

even before the widespread cultivation of marijuana.

Basswood is a trash tree.

Lousy firewood.

Here ya go. Perfectly suited for the back yard, or any third-world country.

Oh my. Scientists discovered that impure water can be distilled into potable water. Even after throwing a block of wood into the water.

Make a solar still. Not for liquor, just for water. Far less stringent requirements for water than corn mash. As pointed out earlier, distilled water is not good to live on. It needs some minerals to make it worthwhile.

As the Good Book says, salt for the savour. Only a little, and make sure it's iodized.
