Question remains: how does the lobster take to THC vapors?

 

[armedoldhippy]

do lobsters even breathe, as in - can they even absorb the smoke? i thought they had gills and only took in from water, which THC is not soluble in. hmmm... you could make THC butter to EAT the lobster with, but i don't think they'd get a buzz from that.

 

[Jellyfish]

It's not smoke, it's vapor, so maybe the rules are different as far as solubility? I don't know, but I wish the lobster sweet 420 dreams!

That sounds tasty!

But I thought the experiment was about a living lobster...

 

[armedoldhippy]

maybe they would eat mushrooms?

 

[Jellyfish]

If they won't I will.

The story behind that paper is wild.

Gill says she's observed enough lobsters to be able to tell that the little hit of marijuana makes a positive difference before they meet their maker. She thinks they're more relaxed, almost sedated, and that's something she considers more humane than the approach taken earlier this year in Switzerland, where it's now illegal to boil a live lobster. The Swiss law is part of country's constitutional provision to "protect the dignity of the creature," and is the first of its kind in the world. The law requires chefs cooking lobsters to "render them unconscious" first.

"What they've offered as other methods are you can stab it in the head or you can electrocute it, and I'm all for making the passage of the lobster better, but I'm thinking these are not good methods," Gill says.

"I don't think the science is there right now to say whether or not lobsters are anesthetized by marijuana, but it's an intriguing idea and maybe worthy of exploration," says Richard Wahle, a researcher at the school of marine science at the University of Maine and director of the Lobster Institute.

Vapor exposure to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) slows locomotion of the Maine lobster (Homarus americanus)

Despite a long history of use in synaptic physiology, the lobster has been a neglected model for behavioral pharmacology. A restaurateur proposed that exposing lobster to cannabis smoke reduces anxiety and pain during the cooking process. It is unknown ...

how on earth do you go about rendering a lobster unconscious? smack him behind the ear with a blackjack? (do they HAVE ears? ) OD him with blue valiums? soak him in Jack Daniels? inquiring minds want to know...

maybe this is why lobster isn't Kosher, because there isn't any bronze-age tech for to render them unconscious.
