âit turns out getting lobsters high doesnt really make them that much more chill about being boiled aliveâŠâ
I have experimented on myself quite a bit with THC. It isnât a pain reliever in my experience. I have had a headache or body pain, used some, and then I was just like âfuck, thatâs all I can think about now.â
Itâs great to distract from general malaise or boredom, but wonât help if anything painful is actually happening.
Conversely, Iâm 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.
thatâs awesome! Iâm glad it is helping you ease your pain. It helps a lot with my anxiety and sleeping, but Iâm a weirdo and Iâm in my head a lot, so even if Iâm super deep it doesnât shut off that part of my brain.
I do imagine if I was being boiled alive it would still hurt a lot, but Iâd prefer to be on some strong edibles if that âhadâ to happen.
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? Arenât 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? Theyâre 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 theyâre none the wiser.
i thought that was sea squirts. they eat their own brain after they pick a spot to grow

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 shouldnât be killed too long before cooking to prevent spoilageâŠbut 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?
