In breaking news, The Denver Post is reporting that a town on the eastern plain of Colorado is trucking in fresh water for its residents after Hugo local officials discovered THC in county’s water supply. The discovery came after “complaints” were made by locals in the area.
A concentration percentage is unavailable at this point.
So far nobody has exhibited symptoms from the THC-laced water but authorities are telling people not to drink, bathe, or let their animals near the contaminated tap water. In the meantime, bottled water is being shipped into the area.
