THC in water supply?
    #23463548 - 07/21/16 06:23 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Surely bullshit?

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/21/colorado-towns-water-tainted-by-marijuana-chemical-authorities-say.html

Residents of a small Colorado town were told Thursday not to drink, shower in or cook with their water because of evidence of THC, the intoxicating ingredient in marijuana.

The Lincoln County sheriff's office tweeted that bottled water was being brought to the community of Hugo, about 100 miles southeast of Denver. Authorities added that there were no reports of any unusual symptoms.

The sheriff's office added that the contamination was discovered after testing brought about by "complaints", but did not elaborate further.

A spokeswoman for the Colorado Division of Emergency Management, Micki Trost, told the Associated Press state investigators are headed to the scene.

She did not know the source or extent of the contamination. The Lincoln County sheriff's office says federal authorities are also involved.

Hugo, a community of about 730 people, prohibits marijuana cultivation, product manufacturing, testing facilities, and Colorado's retail marijuana stores.

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, all information officials don't yet know, Salley said.

Drinking 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.

Doesn't really say how many parts per million is in the water supply. Could be minuscule, but a by product of someone washing marijuana to make hash or something. There are many drugs that end up in the water supply through toilets. Not sure if THC is one that would get filtered or not. Most of the time, chemicals that end up in the water supply like that are seen in really tiny amounts. Don't know how much there would have to be for them to suggest people not drink the water though.

Colorado is so amazing the water gets you high! Seriously if its enough to recommend not drinking to the general public, i'd be downing it or bottling it up and saving it.

:crazy2:  Sounds like crazy BS. THC is not H2O soluble and growing Cannabis can not cause THC contamination to the environment or water table.  :rolleyes:

THC is not water soluble, but neither are most organic solvents and hydrocarbons and they can still exist in suspension in water as a contaminat. Non Aqueous Phase Liquid would be the technical term for that

In other news, while summer might explain the increased water usage, the lawns and gardens in town are getting browner and browner.

It is slightly soluble in water, just not as much as in other fats or solvents. The temperature of the water depends how much THC is absorbed. For water it seems the lower the temp the better it is absorbed. Ice Hash for example.

Even the fucking water in Colorado gets you high, guys!
:manofapproval:

In all seriousness though, I think they probably just detected the standard insanely small levels that are in any drinking water in any city.

so i read a couple other articles and all it says is the sheriff tweeted that. after the tweet they said they would test. so i mean i doubt that there actually is THC in the water in high amounts

A drug test gives false positives. This is the test which sends people to gladiator school. 

:chaingang:

Or, people are drinking toilet-to-tap.

With no disrespect to present company, should we ever be able to say there is a :shrug: "normal" amount, in the background, at all times.

Some italian scientist tested the water supply (somewhere in the US, I'm pretty sure).  He found out that there were extremely small amounts, of EVERY prescription drug, in the water supply.

Like the cocaine traces found on 90% of the folding currency in many countries.
