  A restaurateur proposed that exposing lobster to cannabis smoke reduces anxiety and pain during the cooking process.

  I love science

    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…”

      Yeah especially because countries like Switzerland and New Zealand have banned the practice.

      Restaurants can use en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrustaStun for the most humane option

        Why? Aren’t they basically sea bugs?

      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.
