Due to rising oregano prices the use of cannabis as counterfeit has skyrocketed
- I ain't messing with any drug that costs less than oregano.
  
  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.
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.
  
  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.
- 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?
- ...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?
- A shared kitchen?? I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.
- Kitchen sharing? THC is not legalized in Wisconsin, so that's another issue.
- Famous Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton.
More you eat, the hungrier you get. It's the perfect business model!
- There's a limit.
  I had some bad munchies before and discovered the limit.
Uh yeah I'll have the Bob Marley special, extra crispy.
- With jam in?
How are they not charging extra for that? 🤷🏻‍♂️
Looks like they should just pivot to selling pizza edibles. I want pizza that will make me more stoned
- stone fired pizza
  The ads write themselves. And I believe that pizza would print money.
okay but what if I want my pizzas contaminated with THC?
So we're punishing people for innovation now!
Ugh I wish
