“We want to be sure anyone who has this pizza on hand throws it away so they don’t get sick,” health officials told customers.

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.

We thank the great, valiant protectors for shielding us from the loathsome, horrible, dangerous hempseed. 🙏🙏🙏

The secret ingredient was oil, ordinary oil, laced with nothing more than a few spoonfuls of THC.
