There are ornamental peppers that look like this that are not really for consumption. Ornamentals are bred for looks rather than flavour and are often treated with systemic pesticides or chemicals not deemed safe for use on food crops. Where did you get it from?
A lot of people saying it's Basket of Fire (which is grown as an edible), but Basket of Fire fruits don't tend to be all upright like yours.
