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.

    GAS is absolutely something I’ve done. Is it a problem? Depends on perspective. Sometimes the nicer equipment makes the hobby so much more enjoyable at the early stages that I’m more likely to stick with it. Sometimes I spent a lot more money than was required because there’s a lot of gatekeeping in hobbyist circles. How many times have you heard arguments like “the Manoblaster XYZ 22.9 is trash and if you’re serious, you really should look at the Ploydester 7, it’s got 9 more omicron settings and it really hits the low tags like nothing else can.”
