I hope that we realize that that is not science its light entertainment .
How big is a pig ?
How big is a truffel ?
How common are truffels ?
How much of the substance is in them ?
How much is needed for a workable / detectable dose ?
Does it work oraly ?
How fast does it get broken down in the stomach ?
The article says ---- >
" Italian scientists may have hit on the answer. It turns out the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) contains a “bliss molecule” similar to the substance that gives cannabis its psychoactive properties. "
That sugests that 1 - Their THEORY is correct and 2 - The dose in truffels is big enough to give a pig a drug effect . And that pigs are atracted to them by the chance of getting a drug effect .
They did not prove that .
Then it talks about other tests that they say show a drug effect in pigs . BUT ....... how much were the pigs given and by what method ? Was it just another " we proved that MDMA is dangerous by giving mice an overdose of IV methamphetamine " study again ?
Or the idiotic storys about raindeer eating Fly Agaric to get stoned . Thereby forgeting that they spend a large part of their lives on the edge of starvation , their size and weight , the size and weight of Fly Agaric and the small amount available ....... + raindeer herds are mostly B-I-G . We are talking about tens of thousands of them and more in wild herds . It is one of the VERY few things that raindeer can eat in that season . The fact that it contains a flavour enhancer ...... and LOADS of magots ....... hence the name Fly Agaric because it atracts flys .
I am autism spectum ........ please dont burn me at the stake for being honest .
