In an effort to be more humane, a retail lobster pound owner on Mount Desert Island is giving her customers the chance to buy lobsters that have been exposed to marijuana smoke before they are cooked. Charlotte Gill, owner of Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound in the Southwest Harbor village of Seawall, has experimented with blowing marijuana smoke into a box with a lobster in it before the lobster goes in the cooking pot, according to reports by the weekly Mount Desert Islander newspaper and television station WMTW. Gill, a licensed medical marijuana caregiver, told the Islander that the practice is “kinder” for the lobster and results in better-tasting lobster meat. “I feel bad that when lobsters come here there is no exit strategy,” Gill told the weekly newspaper.
