"How to set a tone of woodsy chic at a four-course candlelight dinner served under the stars in the Colorado foothills:
Live musicians and flowers, check. Award-winning cuisine, check. Beer and wine pairings with each course, check. Marijuana pairings? Oh, yes.
The 100 diners at this $200-a-plate dinner smoked a citrus-smelling marijuana strain to go with a fall salad with apples, dates and bacon, followed by a darker, sweeter strain of pot to accompany a main course of slow-roasted pork shoulder in a mole sauce with charred root vegetables and rice.
And with dessert? Marijuana-infused chocolate, of course, grated over salted caramel ice cream and paired with coffee infused with non-intoxicating hemp oil.
The diners received small glass pieces and lighters to smoke the pairings, or they could have their marijuana rolled into joints by professional rollers set up next to a bartender pouring wine.
Welcome to fine dining in Weed Country."

Pinnacle of smoking, you say it yourself, and I agree. But nothing compares to the flavor that you get from a vape. High-tech!
You can have rituals with it too: share it with your friends, wake 'n vape and use it on a transcontinental ;)
I can highly [pun intended] recommend the grasshopper, but heard good things about the new firefly too. They heat up in a few seconds vs. the minute a Pinnacle Pro or DaVinci requires, and controlling the temperature means that you can release just the THC without too much CBD, meaning that you can get a nice cerebral high, whenever you want it.
Little reason to fuck up your lungs except for nurturing your nicotine addiction.

Vapes are great, but in the so-called "progressive" state of California portable vape cartridges are a "concentrate" and so carry additional legal penalties if you are caught with one or more.
[ Note: being caught with the vape itself doesn't carry that penalty, so if you if you sense that you're about to be caught, ditch the cartridge. ]

Actually, the portables I was referring to [1] are for solid material, i.e. you can vape herb(s) (or solid concentrates) with it. (You could probably also put a drop of something on cotton and vape that too.)
Theres a great (and aptly named) forum, where you can spend quite a bit of time at [2].

Haha, I missed that good catch. It's pretty much a reflex to refer to everything weed-related as "smoking", just like "drinking" refers to alcohol. If 'm talking about cigarettes it's always "smoking a cigarette" (although nine times out of ten I'd actually say square), but with weed it's just "smoking".
