“I’d say driving for the sake of driving, as some people do. Commerce can exist without such driving, and we don’t have to do it to escape potted-planthood.

As for commerce, you are using gas, wheels, oil, seeing places you might like to go sometime, stopping even if you hadn’t planned to, discovering new routes, etc.
No help for you there - commerce can exist without those.
As for commerce and recreational drug use, you are buying the drug, a pipe or other apparatus for using the drug, some munchies and music, etc.
