This only works if you live in areas with no traffic. I have had multiple commutes in different cities, and would take a train whenever possible because of how unpleasant the drive is during rush hour (not to mention driving took longer, in one case 2.5x as long!). I don’t even live in a city, I’m just forced to commute because that’s where the work is. I love cars and have been an enthusiast all my life, but there are many reasons why public transportation is so popular around the world. The US might be somewhat unique in the challenges it faces with public transit, but it is still a better, cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient solution for most of the miles Americans are driving in cities or other congested areas.

I think he’s arguing in favor of therapy, not against it.

I don’t know if there are other options out there, but the smoke buddyhas worked well for me. It’s a pretty simple device, and basically just acts as a filter for your exhaled vapor. You literally just put it up to your mouth and exhale into it, and it filters 100% of the smell out. If you combine it with dry herb vaping, you shouldn’t smell much of anything aside from the not very pungent smell that comes from the weed heating up in the dry herb vape. To me, that smells mostly like something being toasted, not a strong weed smell.

I switched to a dry herb vape, and honestly I see no reason to go back. The only advantage I see with combustion is that you can light up quicker, but honestly waiting one minute or less for the dry herb vape to heat up isn’t a big deal. The taste is better, I’ve found the high to be a bit nicer, there’s less smell if that matters to you, and it generally feels much cleaner. A huge advantage is that it makes weed last much longer. For me, about 1/3 of a normal bowl using the dry herb vape gets me just as high as a full bowl in a pipe or bong. I also like that it preserves the ritual of grinding and packing the “bowl”, as I find it relaxing. Regular vapes always feel too easy, if that makes any sense. I was hesitant to buy in initially because the vape alone was about $100 (Planet of the Vapes One), but I’m certain it will pay for itself quickly. I’m overall extremely happy with dry herb and recommend it to everybody. There are also tons and tons of options for dry herb vapes now, so you can get pretty much exactly what you want. I’m also happy to answer any questions if you’re curious!
