“It’s important to note that special care must be taken to ensure that the vapor generation and delivery system has absolutely no leaks, because otherwise… What were we talking about again? In conclusion, lobster is very tasty, especially served with butter.”
Cannabis basted lobster.
“Baked lobster”
That’s a cruel way of testing, I volunteer instead.
“I need $5000 to get a lobster high as fuck.”
“Why?”
“Science.”

I need to read the paper that resulted from this experiment.
A restaurateur proposed that exposing lobster to cannabis smoke reduces anxiety and pain during the cooking process.
I love science
Don’t get me wrong, I love science too. But also, “only minimal anti-nociceptive effect of THC exposure was confirmed.”
aka
“it turns out getting lobsters high doesnt really make them that much more chill about being boiled alive…”
So like, good on them for trying but like, whats the goal here even anyway? To ease our guilt about the whole having to kill something to eat it thing? Is it really that much better if the thing was high and didnt really know it was dying? IDK this has some pretty deep ethical holes to fall into if we’re not careful. We should also all definitely be high while we discuss this…
Yeah especially because countries like Switzerland and New Zealand have banned the practice.

Restaurants can use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrustaStun for the most humane option
Why? Aren’t they basically sea bugs?
Whether or not they feel pain is a huge ongoing debate
Yes, they are, but why not minimize any possible pain? They’re not going to taste any different.
The way to go is oysters. They have no pain receptors or even a cluster of nerves that could be considered a rudimentary brain. You can eat them still alive (raw on the half shell) and they’re none the wiser.
i thought that was sea squirts. they eat their own brain after they pick a spot to grow
I have experimented on myself quite a bit with THC. It isn’t a pain reliever in my experience. I have had a headache or body pain, used some, and then I was just like “fuck, that’s all I can think about now.”
It’s great to distract from general malaise or boredom, but won’t help if anything painful is actually happening.
Conversely, I’m a medical user exclusively for pain. I take 50mg twice a day and have very little effect on the mind but it stops my pain nearly completely.
that’s awesome! I’m glad it is helping you ease your pain. It helps a lot with my anxiety and sleeping, but I’m a weirdo and I’m in my head a lot, so even if I’m super deep it doesn’t shut off that part of my brain.
I do imagine if I was being boiled alive it would still hurt a lot, but I’d prefer to be on some strong edibles if that “had” to happen.
why are we boiling them alive anyways? a knife through the brain first is standard now
Yeah that bit has always confused me. I get that they shouldn’t be killed too long before cooking to prevent spoilage…but with basically any other animal, we kill it first, not cook it alive. So wtf? Why not just kill it quickly and then throw it in the pot?
shitty cooks?
Some people ask “why are you hotboxing a lobster?”
Others ask why not. Others dare to wonder, to dream.
Science isn’t about why, it’s about why not?
Aperture Science - We do what we must, because we can.
And we cook the lobster after that?
Does it affect the flavor of the lobster and do the consumers get a secondhand high off of it?
This chills the crab.
I’m vegan and gave never partook…could I get my tofu in the THC chamber to calm it down? Its for a friend.
