In and around Minneapolis, I have given up counting the number of times my car got filled with that horrid stench because someone in a car just ahead of mine was hot-boxing the hell out of their commute. It's really nasty to have to drive through the awful clouds of that crap. I also pulled into a gas station recently and my entire car got fumigated. Already sick of it.

Also, the guy who shot up the church school here and killed and wounded a bunch of kids was a massive pot smoker. It made him psychotic, or magnified that existing mental illness.

Living in proximity to people who don't care enough to not be annoying to others has a few ways you can look at it. But I suggest you consider upgrading the cabin air filter in your car. There are likely options with activated carbon to help reduce odors. This was actually a factor in my decision to go Tesla: their models S and X have an additional massive HEPA filter, and absolutely no outside smells make it into the car.

These horror-style anecdotes are hilarious echoes from decades past.

oh no, he had the reefer madness?
