Friday Find: What Does Pork From Cannabis-Fed Pigs Taste Like?

I previously posted a video of the Prime Time guys smoking ribs with Rodney Scott in New York. In this video, they visit a farm in Oregon, where pigs are fed a diet containing up to 25% cannabis leaves and stems.

Then the Prime Time guys help cook the secreto muscle of a 14 month old pig (doble the average lifespan of a pig) in a “planking” method over open flame at nearby restaurant Imperial. No, there is not a weed taste to the pig, but what the guys do find is that the pig tastes good because it has led a generally healthier life compared with most commodity pigs.

On today’s episode of Prime Time, Ben and Brent visit Moto Perpetuo Farm, where pigs are fed a diet that includes cannabis.
