The secret ingredient was oil, ordinary oil, laced with nothing more than a few spoonfuls of THC.
Unexpected Futurama
When I lived in a war-on-drugs city 15 years ago, we always used "pizza" as a code word for weed. A pie was an ounce, and a slice was an eighth. We'd call each other and ask if we wanted to eat some pizza tonight, and how much they wanted to eat. We always knew if it was actual pizza or weed based on tone of voice.
I used to sell weed out of a pizza place. We used that verbiage too, but I'd also just have folks roll through and ask for a Bob Marley extra crispy, and they'd get pizza and weed. Was a win win. Loved that job.
My wife worked for this guy that has since passed away. She was his sous chef at a very posh up and coming restaurant. They had fried chicken specials every so often and it was always their biggest huge hit. Like always selling out.
The secret of his success was his special herbs and spices, which included weed. He figured that nobody would get that high from a serving so he was like IDGAF.
Eddy was one of a kind. Rest in peace friend.
I mean.......you gotta warn people. Imagine eating chicken, not getting high, and then 3 weeks later being convinced theres a conspiracy against you because you failed a random work drug test.
I think it's Hempseed rather than weed itself, but proper Nanami/shichimi togarashi (7 spice blend, roughly translated) has Hempseed. Because of the ban on drugs and such, most exports and US versions exclude it though.
As an example, this site shows and advertises it's usage, then on the same page says:
Hemp seeds match sesame in terms of flavor and aroma. There is an old Japanese saying: "Those able to mill hemp seed are truly mature."
No hemp seeds are used in products for overseas markets.
I didn't know hempseed was illegal in the US. It's a pretty boring ingredient elsewhere.
I think it isn't illegal if it can't grow a plant, so if heated or ground. You can buy ground hempseed, and i think i have some downstairs. Still, imports and such are much trickier, which is probably why they don't use it for exports. Also other countries may have stricter imports, and perhaps the company doesn't want the headache of verifying which market to send which product to.
It's similar to how most companies just conform to Californian restrictions rather than make different products for different states in the US.
Seeds are federally legal as they contain no THC. They have been sold on the open Internet for years, even before the farm bill that got all the "intoxicating hemp" and "alternative cannabinoids" into your local head shop. Post farm bill, even growing those seeds would be legal, because hemp is legally distinct from "marijuana".
I can't speak to import/export but I know a lot about cannabis
Let's see if I understood this correctly. They use a community kitchen and helped themselves to someone elses very expensive oil, not realizing it was Delta-9 infused? Now people are getting high off their pie and they are all over the news. Dick move has unintended consequences.
Tell me they are smart enough to officially sell THC pizza now. Please!
I'll just stick to gummies.
I'm about as big a poth-ead as you can get, and this is pretty fucked up.
I mean yea, non consenting chemical alteration of someone's mental state is a messed up thing, accidental or not. For someone not expecting it, or not used to it, you will likely think you're sick. That could be distressing. It could be dangerous if that person were, say, headed off to work (nurse, doctor, crane operator, taxi driver, office worker on commute), or had been avoiding cannabis due to family history of psychosis, or has a damaged immune system and now fears they've caught something, we also feed pizza to kids.
Most probably nothing grim will come of this, and the jokes are fine I think, but we all should understand that this is serious.
How the hell do you explain this to a new job or your parole officer? "Someone drugged me with weed and I didn't know! I swear!"
This could mess up some people's lives
Another argument against zero tolerance policies.
Yeah IMO drug charges should be ones that need to be added on to other real crimes that directly affect others. Like theft or assault. And even outside of charges, why care if an otherwise good worker randomly tests positive for something?
I had a friend whose dad was in the military and got served something spiked at a party that popped up on a surprise drug test the next day. It was a huge deal (especially because this was like 40 years ago), he had to go to military court and get people that were at the party to testify for him. He was really fortunate the judge ruled in his favor.
I can confirm the military still takes its drug tests seriously. If a soldier ate that pizza and got drug tested (military loves a surprise drug test) they could have gotten in very serious career ending levels of trouble.
We've got a case in Australia of a coffee shop selling something to someone that was allergic. The guy died of allergies.

Apologizes??? I'll take 3! Oh, wait, that's going to give me the munchies. Better make it 4......oh wait, that's going to give me the munchies. Better make it 5.......oh wait, that's going to give me the munchies, better make it....
I hope they decarbed it first
Forgivable if it cost $4.20
I object to the phrase.... Contaminated
I further object to the company telling people to throw out the weed pizza. Who in their right mind would turn down free weed? Especially given that this literally never happens ever? This is a once in a lifetime miracle.
If you don't like the effects of THC, give it to your stoner neighbor. Or the homeless guy down the block. He would really appreciate a free weed pizza.
So sick and tired of seeing food waste. This article disgusts me.
Nobody knows the dosage in the pizza for sure since it was a cooking accident that it was dosed with THC to begin with. You don't really measure olive oil when you cook with it, plus the distribution wouldn't be even, so even if you do make a guess based on about how much oil you used and the concentration of the THC in the oil, it might have simply pooled more on one side of the pan if they used it as a non-stick coating, or just based on how it mixed into the dough if they mix in olive oil normally.
With the quantities involved it's just impossible to reliably guess the dosage that any affected product might have, and with any kind of drug, recreational or not, the dosage absolutely matters a ton.
