A pizzeria mistakenly sold pizza laced with THC. Here’s how it happened.

Eating THC in pizza and other fatty foods makes the effects of the drug stronger, experts say.

A pizza shop in Wisconsin shocked patrons when it apologized for inadvertently selling pizzas containing THC, the primary psychoactive component in cannabis. They figured it out when customers reported feeling odd after eating slices of their pie.

Dough used in about 70 orders was prepared with THC-contaminated oil

Oil containing THC was in a storage space in the cooperative commercial kitchen that the shop shares with other vendors, according to a statement on Famous Yeti’s website. Ryan told The Washington Post he knew there was a vendor in the space who made THC-infused brownies, but when reports of unexplained reactions to the food started coming in, his mind didn’t jump to THC.
