Hi Everyone! This week Sean and Nathan are joined by certified young person Griffin Allen, who has street-level knowledge about VAPING -- the recently-in-the-news drug delivery phenomenon that has seen an unexpected uptick in sending people to the hospital over the past year. How does vaping work, and how does it compare to traditional smoking? What can you vape? When people are sucking on USB drives, was that actually them vaping or are they just dumb? We'll get into it!
Remember though! We're not a medical advice podcast (those probably don't exist). Don't get medical advice from a podcast, people.
