    “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.”

    Some people ask “why are you hotboxing a lobster?”

    Others ask why not. Others dare to wonder, to dream.

        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 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.

                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.

    Does it affect the flavor of the lobster and do the consumers get a secondhand high off of it?
