    Smoking also produces a host of other chemicals, and like tobacco, plenty of harmful ones. It may not be a cannabinoid issue, rather a reaction with some combustion byproduct.

    I’m not a doctor, so feel free to disregard any of that :)



  • consumer-grade trailer brakes fail or underperform with alarming regularity, especially if the trailer sits idle most of the year. It’s pretty nerve wracking stopping a several-thousand kg trailer whose brakes have failed with a pickup truck, and I’ve seen quite a few trailers towed by smaller cars in the ditch because they couldn’t stop or keep it controlled while stopping.


  • so, the problem is never the “pulling”, a Yaris can get a mid-size camper up to highway speeds no problem. The problem is controlling and stopping, and that’s where the length and mass of the towing vehicle comes into play. A longer and heavier tow vehicle is more stable, and a vehicle designed for towing will have bigger brakes to handle the increased stopping load.

    Which, of course, also means that little tow robot will be even more useless for towing than the car it’s following.
