A few years ago, the owner of the legendary Lobster Pound Charlotte Gill made the news by revealing that he got a high lobsters before throwing it into boiling water, an activity carried out in hopes of offering more human beings. This method involves blowing the marijuana smoking into the cage with lobster until “sedated,” then cook it.
Although lobster is a favorite culinary, many people oppose potentially inhuman methods to boil them alive. Using Weed Smoke as a way to calm creatures is an interesting idea, but who raises the question whether it really works. Here to test the idea is a researcher with the University of California – San Diego, where they have lobster vape weed – sort of.
Lobster bought life-lives from the grocery store and then exposed THC, psychoactive material in Cannabis, for one hour. After this, the researchers took lobster network samples, including the delicious parts, the heart, brain, and gills.
Even though the results were described as “mixed,” the researchers found that THC was absorbed into the lobster body due to breathing and that their behavior turned out to be less active. The study also involves placing lobster claws in water ranging from 105F to 118F to 15 seconds to see how they react.
The evaporated THC does not have many effects on whether lobster can detect heat water; The researchers noted that the heat of water, the faster the lobster moved from it. Does that mean they can feel pain, however, remain a mystery. In the end, this study concluded that exposure to THC did change lobster behavior, but had a little effect on how they responded hot water.
