Dude.
I actually am so square I have never tried any form of cannabis. But some of my patients clearly benefit from it so I jumped through the hoops to get credentialed in my state. Luckily the state allows me to "opt out" of the online listing of cannabis physicians, so no one will find me by google etc., I am only willing to do this for established patients.

Everyone is different. I actually like the group ride/social aspect of Zwift and do group rides with my friends and chat on Discord when the roads are unsafe to ride outside. It makes a 1-2 hour ride go by tolerably, compared to the trainer without Zwift which is sheer torture.

What are they going to do about it? Likely nothing. I've seen it argued that it is a harmless prank and the people who complain about it are "snowflakes" or some such less manly thing.
The other thing they don't mention in this statement is the fact that these sadistic bastards have to modify their vehicles to get them to spew the smoke in the first place. I think they alter the boost control or make it manual control. Yes, they change their vehicle with the intent of blowing clouds of black smoke on others. Nice.

My trainer supposedly includes one free month of Zwift. If that applies to me (I have done the trail membership in the past), I'm going to give it another whirl.
...but I expect that I'll still be thoroughly disinterested and only want to ride intervals and get the **** on with my day.

Everyone IS different. I ride on Zwift like I ride IRL - alone, no group rides. I like racing, perhaps because I've done pretty well at it, being near the top of the D category. If I ever graduate to C, that might change my views! I like marking a rider ahead of me, catching and dropping them, and I like sometimes doing the Innsbruck climb, or the Epic KOM with Radio Tower. Structured workouts are kinda new to me, but I do like the challenge, if I can actually manage them.

Sadly, I'm not the least bit surprised that this would happen in my home state.

Yes. So you know what category they automatically fit in, right?

Wut, really? 88 degrees? Usually your weather rolls our way but I'm glad this isn't.

When I was a ute, we amused ourselves by making our jalopies backfire when passing pedestrians.

We've been in the 80s, too. I've actually had to mind my hydration on rides. Yesterday, I ran out of water (3 bottles) and Gatorade (1 bottle) and called it quits at 88 miles instead of pushing on to 98 miles.

Venus has been beating me up with her cone of shame, I had to tape the edges to minimize damage. She had surgery on her knee to repair a ruptured tendon. The hardest part is containing all the energy she wants to expend so the knee can heal. No more reckless running around for 8 weeks. She's tethered and she hates it.
