Maine restaurant to get lobsters high off marijuana smoke before killing them!!
Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound offers customers the option of having their lobster “sedated with cannabis” before being prepared. Owner Charlotte Gill, who is a licensed medical marijuana caregiver, believes the technique is more humane.
Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound in Maine currently offers its lobsters steamed or boiled. But the owner is really hoping you'll enjoy them baked out of their skulls.
Charlotte Gill, who opened Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound in Southwest Harbor seven years ago, is experimenting with getting the lobsters high off marijuana smoke before killing and cooking them, believing it to be more humane than the traditional methods.
“I feel bad that when lobsters come here there is no exit strategy,” Gill told the Mount Desert Islander. “It’s a unique place and you get to do such unique things but at the expense of this little creature. I’ve really been trying to figure out how to make it better.”
