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

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.

“This is incredibly serious to us and we can’t imagine anything worse than betraying the faith that our customers have in us to provide a product made with utmost care and concern,” Famous Yeti’s Pizza co-owner Cale Ryan said in a statement posted to Facebook on Oct. 25. “If we lost your faith in us and we never get to serve you again, I completely understand.”

Here’s what we know about the incident, and why eating THC in pizza may cause stronger psychoactive effects than consuming cannabis in some other ways.

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. Recreational cannabis use is not legal in Wisconsin. [Read More @ The Washington Post]
