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 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?
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
