Southwest Smoked Lobster Different From What You Think

This one’s just for grins, guys. In Southwest Harbor, Maine, the goofballs over at Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound are sedating their lobsters with marijuana prior to throwing them in the pot (ez pun). Is it really making a difference (especially because you’re just gonna eat the bug anyway)? Can’t answer that, but I’d still say it’s Certified R.A.D.
