When Vice wrote an article about a new product that makes it possible for hotels to detect whether visitors have been smoking pot in rooms comedian, and noted pot enthusiast, Doug Benson took notice.

Benson starred in the documentary "Super High Me," which showed the impact of smoking marijuana for 30 days.

The film showed that smoking pot had minimal impact on his health which raises questions as to why it remains illegal most places and why hotels would go to such extraordinary lengths to keep marijuana out of their rooms.

The product detailed in the Vice article, the Airguard, was created by a Dartmouth professor who wants to steal your fun.

"Their baby is a detector sophisticated enough to know the difference between smoke and smoking, and it's intended not just for hotels but for any shared space where smoking is meant to be discouraged, like your dorm-meaning narc-leaning RAs all over the country can rejoice," according to article.

Benson hosts the popular "Doug Loves Movies" podcast which can be found here along with his standup schedule.
