"Humane restaurant getting lobsters stoned before steaming them alive

Owner says technique provides a 'kinder' death - and the meat is tastier

"Some might argue the most humane thing to do with a lobster would be to just not eat it.

A restaurant in the US, however, is taking another approach to being merciful: it gets the crustaceans stoned before steaming them alive.

The animal is already going to be killed, says Charlotte Gill owner of Charlottes Legendary Lobster Pound in the Maine island town of Southwest Harbor. It is far more humane to make it a kinder passage.

The idea is that the creature, fresh from having marijuana smoke pumped into its water, is sedated to the point it feels far less pain while being cooked.

The restaurant says it has perfected the technique this year partly to ensure no residual cannabis gets into the meat and hopes all customers will go for "stoned and steamed over "boiled next season.

I feel bad that when lobsters come here there is no exit strategy, Ms Gill told the Mount Desert Islander website. Its a unique place and you get to do such unique things but at the expense of this little creature. Ive really been trying to figure out how to make it better.

In other parts of the world, where boiling alive is outlawed, electrocution or stabbing through the brain are used to kill the animals ahead of cooking.

But Ms Gill who holds a licence to grow medical marijuana did not fancy either of those.

These are both horrible options if were going to take a life we have a responsibility to do it as humanely as possible, she said before adding that, in any case, a happier lobster was a tastier lobster.

The difference it makes within the meat itself is unbelievable, she said. Everything you put into your body is energy.

Most lower forms of life such as crustaceans do not have cannabinoid receptors and thusly are incapable of "getting stoned". Which may explain a lot of the anti-marijuana folks! No cannabinoid receptors!

I wonder what other neurological sources of pleasure they are missing? :-(
