Pot Infused Bacon? Duuuuuude

This is what a stoned pig looks like, literally.

Well, kind of.

Seattle butcher William von Schneidau of the BB Ranch butcher shop at Pike Place Market has apparently been feeding his pigs pieces of marijuana plants in order to make bacon that’s “redder and more savory” than usual. It won’t, however, do much to get you high.

According to NPR, Schneidau’s marriage of pork and pot has been more of a publicity stunt than anything, but that hasn’t stopped people from flocking to his “Pot Pig” dinner events, and buying their own pot-infused bacon to try for themselves.

“People have been asking all these questions. ‘Do you think (the pigs are) feeling it? Are they stoned?’ and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. Let’s back up here for a second.’” Schneidau told Seattle news site Komo News, “All we’re trying to do is to help the local ranchers and to figure out some ways to shorten the carbon footprint.”

Darn, and I was so looking forward to having bacon and donut poutine for breakfast.
