I once smoked mullein (verbascum thapsis) rolled like a cigarette. I was surprised how light and soothing the smoke was. It is said to act as an expectorant (helps you cough up gunk) and, topically, is soothing to skin.
I think that would be a good candidate for vaporization. Maybe you could get the expectorant effect without taking in carcinogenic smoke.
Sailing stories always become a little more dramatic with each retelling. An orca 15 feet above you on a small boat would be awesome and terrifying in a way units of measure cannot express.
I agree. For those with ADHD, especially on the instant release ritalin, it can help to line a "power hour" up with important tasks, things you know you're going to avoid when the meds wear off, or things that take a lot of planning but make later stuff easier.
Also knocking something out early in the day can create momentum and stop inertia.
