The original story, from Fox News<\/a>, seemed laughable on it\u2019s face. Lobsters, besides being very tasty dipped in melted butter, have brains the size of a pea. They really aren\u2019t going to feel anything, and I haven\u2019t heard of any complaints by the lobsters on how they were cooked.<\/p>\n What I think this was all about, was some of the cooks getting baked themselves and deciding that they could indulge their habit by claiming that it was good for the lobsters if they were stoned out of their tiny brains before they were steamed, boiled or baked. According to the Fox News story<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n In the restaurant\u2019s first experiment into the process, a lobster \u2014 nicknamed \u201cRoscoe\u201d \u2014 was placed into a box with a few inches of water at the bottom, and marijuana smoke was then blown through the water, into the box. <\/b><\/p>\n Gill, also a licensed medical marijuana caregiver in the state of Maine, claims Roscoe was much calmer and less aggressive for the subsequent three weeks, and didn\u2019t try to attack the other lobsters in his tank even though his claws were unbound. <\/b><\/p>\n Please! This is utter and complete nonsense. I have no idea if giving a lobster pot before dropping them into the pot has any actual effect on them. However, it does seem that the Maine health inspectors aren\u2019t amused at the idea. In a follow up story from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Maine government officials are not down with getting lobsters baked before boiling them alive, and have declared the practice illegal after Charlotte Gill, owner of Charlotte\u2019s Legendary Lobster Pound, made headlines for her unusual pre-cooking methods<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n Maine health inspectors said the \u201cfood served to consumers at licensed eating places and affected by marijuana, as has been described with this establishment, as adulterated and therefore illegal,\u201d the New York Times reports. <\/b><\/p>\n The decision was made by the department because regulators do not currently \u201chave information on the health implications or effects of \u2018sedating\u2019 lobsters with marijuana,\u201d the Times reports. <\/b><\/p>\n One of the issues would be, how will a stoned lobster\u2019s tasty meat affect the diner? Will there be a second hand THC effect? Will a diner, after eating a lobster that had been reenacting a Cheech and Chong movie develop second hand munchies?<\/p>\n I also wonder how they will change the menu? Will the wait staff ask, \u201cWould you like your lobster to be baked before we boil it, or boiled before we steam it? This is just a stupid idea by someone looking at a way to smoke weed in the kitchen. Nice try though.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n (1<\/strong> votes, average: 5.00<\/strong> out of 5)
