Colorado town's water may be tainted with marijuana chemical
HUGO, Colo. (AP) -- Officials told residents of a small Colorado community
not to drink or shower in tap water Thursday because one of the town's wells
may have been contaminated with THC, marijuana's intoxicating chemical.
No illnesses have been linked to the water in Hugo, a town of about 730
people some 100 miles southeast of Denver, said Lincoln County Public Health
Director Susan Kelly.
THC was detected in tests conducted with field kits, although other field
tests were negative, sheriff's Capt. Michael Yowell said.
More definitive laboratory tests were underway, he said.
The field tests weren't capable of showing how much THC was in the water,
but only whether the chemical was there, he said.
Investigators found signs that one of Hugo's five wells had been tampered
with, but they hadn't determined whether someone deliberately tainted the
water, Yowell said.
The FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation are helping with the case,
he said.
Hugo prohibits marijuana cultivation, product manufacturing, testing
facilities and retail marijuana stores, although those activities are legal
elsewhere in the state.
Peter Perrone, owner of a marijuana testing facility in the Denver area,
expressed doubt that THC could be in the water. The chemical isn't
water-soluble, he told The Denver Post (http://tinyurl.com/h8s9z5u).
Yowell said investigators were aware of that but had to follow up because of
the field test results.
He said a company that administers employee drug tests was the first to
detect THC in Hugo's water. A tester sampled tap water, assuming it would be
negative, but it was positive.
It's unlikely that consuming pot-tainted water would cause lasting health
effects, said Mark Salley, a spokesman for the state Department of Public
Health and Environment.
The effects of drinking THC-laced water would depend on the concentration,
the amount consumed and how quickly it was consumed, and officials don't yet
have that information, Salley said.
Consuming water containing THC would be similar to eating marijuana-infused
food, meaning the effect would depend entirely on how much was consumed and
the strength of the tainted water.

Ever tried pot, Frank?
It never did much for me besides making me stupid... why would I pay
$100/oz when I can do that for free?
But, hey! You've *never* tried pot???
Why not? (I don't believe you, but that's OK.)

Oh, I can think just fine, Frank; however, doing so certainly does not
appear to be a prerequisite to posting hereabouts.
You asked me if I was a pothead; I replied honestly that, while I have
certainly tried it, I do not find it to be particularly enjoyable.
Then I asked you the same question. I mean, you don't *have* to
discuss it, of course; given that this is the case, why did you bring
it up in the first place?

Oh how I'd love to turn it on when a walk was in progress. Oops!

Sounds like a good place for a water bottling plant.
