Officials told residents of a small Colorado community [Hugo, CO] 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.
[...] 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.
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.
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.

Everybody knows it's much, much worse! While everybody knows that LSD-25 eats at the brain of its uses like Coke or any other acid dissolves a tooth or anything really, because acid, maraihuhajuwanna is more like nuclear waste. First of all, it's green, and so is nuclear waste. And do you know what it smells like? I'd rather live next to a combination sewage treatment plant and chicken farm than have to smell marihuhajuwanna for 3 minutes! Cleaning out their water supply will require completely replacing all of the pipes, even the ones that weren't serviced by that well. It could cost trillions. How are they going to afford that once their town is overrun by niggers and property values plummet?
Colorado were fools to legalize it. Anybody who uses it should be fried in an electric chair for their own good. Did you know that Satan himself is in weed? Frying those junkie addicts in the electric chair is the only way to save their souls!

I would just like the record to show that Colorado legalized ahead of the curve, even after getting raided by the Feds constantly when they had medical marijuana, and has maintained a pretty sensible approach to things given that the next presidential election could spell the end to this experiment.

You must have the straightest posture in the world, possibly the entire universe. I'd suggest getting that checked out by a proctologist.
