Advocacy & Safety - I want this for dogs

Grenades made from the world's hottest chili. Sound like the answer to my prayers.

Better make sure you're upwind of that if it does go off!

I ate a couple of those a few months ago on a dare. They're umm.... a little spicy.

I managed to hold it together until the other guys got bored and left the room, thus winning the position of 'Supreme Stud' among them. Then promptly cried my eyes out as soon as I was alone!

I have a buddy who uses the powdered stuff to cook with,... and as a nasal-clearing agent when he starts to get stopped up! He shakes the jar of powder to agitate it, then whiffs the floaters. Have to say, he doesn't sniffle a whole lot.

He also makes his own hot sauce, with the jolokia as an ingredient; I love the flavor of the jolokia pepper, but it has be diluted, or my upper body will just carbonize!

wonder what test subjects were used at the Indian defense laboratories

This is no different than pepper spray. Pepper spray is 5M scoville units. Fresh Bhuts are 1M. To 'weaponize' Bhut would require concentrating them similar to what is already done to make pepper spray - but instead of using the most economical widely grown chilli peppers the idea is to use Bhuts. Seems to be more about national pride than economics or practicality. Also note that chemical weapons including pepper spray are banned for use in war by international treaty.

I think anti-terrorism actions are considered police actions by most countries, not war.

Does the International Treaty protect mutts and currs?

Bottom line is Bhut's taste delicious. Sure they are hot, but they have a wonderful flavor!
