Jeder kennt diese Idee, LSD ins Trinkwasser zu kippen. In der kleinen Stadt Hugo, Colorado, hat das jetzt wer mit THC gemacht, dem Wirkstoff in Cannabis. Gesundheitlich nicht wirklich in bedenklicher Konzentration, die Behörden empfehlen aber dennoch, das Wasser vorerst nicht mehr zu trinken. Die alltägliche Hygiene wie Duschen und Zähneputzen sei aber kein Problem.
On Thursday afternoon, authorities notified the town of about 800 people that the water should not be drunk, used to cook with or even to bathe. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment later downgraded the warning — it was safe to shower, brush teeth and do laundry with the tap water. Ingestion remained inadvisable.
There have not been reports of health issues linked to Hugo’s water, according to an AP report. Nor did every Colorado local seem terribly distraught by the idea of a cool glass of THC.
“I might have to go drink some water,” Patsie Smith, the former mayor of Hugo, quipped to the Denver Post.
