Restaurant that sedates lobsters with cannabis before cooking them comes under scanner
The Maine Health Inspection Program is investigating Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound at the moment, but they haven't issued any findings yet
According to latest news reports, a Maine restaurant is currently being investigated for using marijuana to sedate lobsters in the kitchen to ensure their painless death before cooking them. The police are looking into marijuana usage at Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound, where the owner Charlotte Gill inserts cannabis smoke into the boiling water to make the creature's death is "less traumatic", reports the Daily Mail.
Reports state that Gill claims "the lobsters appear calmer after being dosed with cannabis and do not even attempt to wield their claws even when left unbanded".
