A Wisconsin pizzeria has apologized after customers were urged to throw out pizzas purchased from them due to contamination with THC, the main psychoactive substance in cannabis.

The contaminated food, from Famous Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton, is thought to have been served this week between Monday, October 21 and Thursday, October 24, Public Health Madison & Dane County reported.

Due to rising oregano prices the use of cannabis as counterfeit has skyrocketed

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I ain't messing with any drug that costs less than oregano.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

In States where it's legal, prices are dropping to rock bottom. It's kind of amazing and my 90s self would have cried to see how much good cannabis I can buy at today's prices vs 90s street price.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Totally true - I live in one of said states.

...but I can also get a pound of oregano for like $10. The best deal I've ever seen for weed (very shitty weed, to be clear) was maaaybe like $85/ounce

It was a kitchen sharing problem. This pizzeria shared it with someone else using thc in their cooking. Mistaken oils.

Worse yet, this article lists symptoms of thc and they're all negative! What a joke. Symptoms may also/instead included: stress relief, relaxation, calmness, pain relief, a sense of creativity, feeling good about yourself or your life.

Newsweek's reporting on weed. Figures!

I agree on the positives. Though, if you don’t expect this, it can be a bit of frightening and cause anxiety symptoms as well. So you don’t expect thc and get „symptoms“ after eating the pizza. I would be surprised, too.

It is a matter of set and setting that comes into effect.

They should put the thc pizza on their menu, though.

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. It's not going to be relaxing to most of the population if it's unexpected and without consent. It's going to increase anxiety.

I'm all for normalizing THC. But you don't want to just randomly get baked off a pizza. It's supposed to be a choice you make, when it's appropriate.

It's like getting drunk on everclear vapors that you used as a solvent for shellac.

Not a pleasant drunk.

Dizziness
Increased blood pressure
Increased heart rate
Nausea
Vomiting

Shit I might die

Anxiety
Panic attacks
Paranoia
Hallucinations
Short term memory impacts

Damn I might think I'm dying (and maybe not even remember)

Time distortion
Sleepiness

I mean... what would you trade for a superpower and a good night's sleep?

[-] echolalia@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

...everyone knows the positives. People who don't eat edibles really should be aware of the negatives, since if you're not expecting it, it could seem like something much worse.

This is honestly a bad situation overall. I live somewhere its legal and I occasionally imbibe,but I wouldn't want the surprise. I work nights, this could get me fired. What if someone's kid ate some, or someone on probation who needs to pass drug tests?

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

A shared kitchen?? I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Kitchen sharing? THC is not legalized in Wisconsin, so that's another issue.

Famous Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton.

[-] AlbertSpangler 18 points 2 weeks ago

More you eat, the hungrier you get. It's the perfect business model!

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

There's a limit.

I had some bad munchies before and discovered the limit.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Uh yeah I'll have the Bob Marley special, extra crispy.

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

With jam in?

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

How are they not charging extra for that? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like they should just pivot to selling pizza edibles. I want pizza that will make me more stoned

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

stone fired pizza

The ads write themselves. And I believe that pizza would print money.

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

okay but what if I want my pizzas contaminated with THC?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 2 weeks ago

So we're punishing people for innovation now!
