You can buy DIY incense kits or make your own using a combination of certain tree gums and powder to bind together preferred herbs, spices and smelly stuffs. If you want to grind up weed and add it to the mix, make sure it’s a very small amount and properly dried so that the incense burns evenly. May I suggest something skunky or sour, to really embrace the stank? Send questions to marijuana@westword.com.

Most nutritionists will tell you that protein alone won’t equate to more gas or bloating, but the supplemental ingredients used to consume it, including thickeners and sweeteners like lactose and sorbitol, will. Plant-based protein is usually more prone to gas, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid hemp or other plant-based proteins, which offer omega fats, antioxidants, minerals and all that jazz.

Keep your protein cocktail simple and without dairy or sweeteners, and wish those noses around you good luck.
