False Positives Behind THC Results In Hugo Water Supply

HUGO, Colo. (CBS4)– False positive results are blamed for the scare that Hugo’s water supply was tainted with THC.
Warnings not to drink the water were lifted Saturday after multiple tests confirmed there was no THC, marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient, in the water.
For two days, residents didn’t drink or cook with the town’s water for fear it was tainted with THC.
Officials hold a news conference in Hugo on July 21, 2016, to discuss the health issue. (credit: CBS)
