“#Lobsters doused with pot smoke to test pain during cooking<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

This brings new meaning to putting lobsters in the \u201cpot.\u201d <\/p>\n

US researchers redefined \u201clobster pot\u201d after testing whether dosing lobsters<\/a> with marijuana smoke could ease their pain during cooking them. <\/p>\n

To test whether \u201cexposing lobster to cannabis smoke\u201d reduced their trauma, the scientists placed several store-bought Maine lobsters in a sealed box filled with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) \u2014 the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana \u2014 for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. The weed vapor was delivered in 10-second spurts every five minutes. <\/p>\n

They found that the critters\u2019 movements noticeably slowed down, while samples taken later from their gills, claws, heart, brain and liver revealed that the lobsters did indeed absorb the THC.<\/p>\n

After removing and rinsing the lobsters, the scientists lowered them into the 118.4-degree water to see how they reacted. <\/p>\n

But the blazed crustaceans still didn\u2019t take too kindly to being cooked, as they still \u201cmade distinct motor responses\u201d upon contact with the boiling water, per the study. <\/p>\n

\u201cTail immersion resulted in a clear response of legs and claws and\/or a strong flick of the tail,\u201d they wrote, adding that the latter is the \u201cescape response of lobsters (and crayfish) and confirms the noxiousness of the stimulus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The researchers\u2019 conclusion: dousing lobsters with pot smoke doesn\u2019t dull their pain<\/p>\n

Their experiment was reportedly inspired by Charlotte Gill, a licensed marijuana caregiver and owner of\u00a0Charlotte\u2019s Legendary Lobster Pound\u00a0in Maine, who advocated reducing the crustacean\u2019s stress by placing lobsters in a box pumped with pot smoke before they were submerged in boiling water. The humane restauranteur based her questionable painkilling methods on studies claiming that the arthropods possess cannabinoid receptors that can make them feel the effects of Mary Jane, the Bangor Daily News reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnything that we put to death, it should be done in the least traumatic way,\u201d said Gill, adding that hotboxing lobsters even makes their meat tastier, as they were calmer before cooking.<\/p>\n

The researchers\u2019 experiment essentially disproved the half-baked theory floated by Gill, who was once so confident in her anesthesia technique that she even lambasted PETA detractors<\/a> for not using marijuana when they allegedly euthanized animals. <\/p>\n

Responding to the animal advocate\u2019s criticism over her lobster-killing business, the ballsy foodie had written, \u201cIn my opinion, as one of the largest organized euthanizers of animals on the planet. Perhaps you should consider taking a page from our book and incorporating cannabis into YOUR practices as well? It\u2019s far more ethical\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps next scientists can test whether baking the lobsters improves the flavor of the meat.<\/p><\/div>\n
