For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

I think the amount of people who just shit on you for an opinion or theory they disagree with that you have for a game is too damn high.

Artists who have to act “out there” because they are an ‘artist’ and seem to be way too intense and anbnoxious about it. Some even abuse others and defend themselves as an artist as if it’s necessary. It is so bullshit and unnecessary.

I know plenty of artists of varying techniques whom you wouldn’t know they are artists until you see their work because they don’t act out.

Great question.

For me it’s homebrewing. It’s so simple yet there is so much disinformation and people encouraging others into following old wives tales that aren’t necessarily proven to do anything.

Also, so many anglophones using imperial measurements it’s ridiculous. Metric makes way more sense especially for volumes.

I’ve had to go through and write my own procedure because it’s just ridiculous otherwise.

I don't even ride a bicycle while I'm on weed, it would be absolute madness to drive a car while high.
