I know it's a meme, but thc is toxic to many animals including lobster as their liver can't process the chemical. They will get the high but because they can't absorb thc these animals will become suffocated.

Since we're in science memes, I feel the need ro point out that lobsters don't have a liver, and have a hepatopancreas instead.

Also it tastes good

So you're saying they'd get so high they die, and the THC will still be in their systems when the human cooks and eats them. Might have an idea why they were doing this 'experiment' then.

Our most underrated evolutionary advantage is the liver ability to process ungodly amounts of compounds that normally would be toxins for other animals, sometimes multiple substances at once.

Can confirm, have done multiple drugs at once multiple times and only died once.
