Can you smell weed?

I can. (Skanky neighbours.) I seem to smell it most places now though. Much more frequently than just fags - hardly ever smell tobacco these days.

Is this just how things are now? ☹️

Yeah everywhere like every 1 in 15 or 20 people

BCBird · 19/08/2023 19:12

Yes it is. It's everywhere.

FunkyMonks · 19/08/2023 19:12

Yep I agree with above Poster it's everywhere now and more common getting a waft of weed than cig smoke.

CeriB82 · 19/08/2023 19:13

Appears so. Its vile, disgusting.

walking in town i smell it. Coincidentally it comes from the flats above the foreign barber shops. Windows open and others closed.

WtfHormones · 19/08/2023 19:15

Yeah, I think it's great that it's getting normalised.

@CeriB82 what's vile about it?

Skulldrudgery · 19/08/2023 19:15

No, I don’t often smell it . It’s not how it is where I live and work (not a particularly naice place).

NeverDropYourMooncup · 19/08/2023 19:17

Usually smell it when cars drive past with their windows down.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 19/08/2023 19:17

Sometimes when I go into a big town or city, but that's not very often.

DarkestBeforeDawn · 19/08/2023 19:17

I love the smell!

evtheria · 19/08/2023 19:17

Yep, I don't care if someone smokes it but I hate when they seem to think:

  • none of us can tell
  • it's okay for us to stink of it

There's a guy who we pass on our school run in the morning, he heads to the train station in office gear and he absolutely REEKS of it. So curious as to where he works that they tolerate it!

shieldmaiden7 · 19/08/2023 19:18

Yep. We have dealers that live across the road from us. They are dealing day and night, the house reeks and the have a small child living there that can't be more than 4. I've reported it too but nothing so just accepting it.

It stinks

LemonLimeDivine · 19/08/2023 19:20

Yep. It’s everywhere. It stinks.

Sayinglessanddoingmore2023 · 19/08/2023 19:22

There's a man stood in the bus queue smoking it. I hate it. Cigarettes are bad enough but at least they're legal. It's such a stench and I don't want to inhale it.

LBFseBrom · 19/08/2023 19:23

Not at the moment but I do smell it at times. It doesn't bother me.

DumpedByText · 19/08/2023 19:23

Yep, I went to an interactive theatre performance last week. All the audience were stood together and the guy next to me stunk of it. Makes me heave!

LooselyBasedOnAMadeUpStory · 19/08/2023 19:24

Yes it’s everywhere round here. There is a dealer around the corner, he lives with his parents!

FatNoMoreSue · 19/08/2023 19:24

Yes. It smells like dirty rabbit hutch to me.

tooearlyforthis98 · 19/08/2023 19:24

It's disgusting and really antisocial but seems to be becoming more and more normalised sadly

MrsCoconut · 19/08/2023 19:25

Yes, definitely more common now - I don’t think people care about where they smoke it. I can smell it everywhere and our next door neighbours smoke it in the garden several times a day, which is lovely for us….I hate the smell, smells like cat piss to me.

Theunamedcat · 19/08/2023 19:25

The stench is awful I have a dealer out the back a smoker next door and a backyard breeder out the back too I live in a joyful neighbourhood

And it effects ds who hasn't been outside in our own garden for extended periods for a long long time his childhood is in the house with the windows shut

And people are deluded if they think teachers etc can't tell if your a smoker the kids smell you smell even your dog smells my neighbour erupted because her doctor was honest enough to say I can tell you smoke and I can tell you smoke weed too I'm telling you that your child's chest condition is getting worse because your doing that around your child apparently she was going to "have his licence" because everyone knows smoking weed is good for asthmatics 😮‍💨

TeenLifeMum · 19/08/2023 19:25

I smell pockets of it when I’m running in my town. I hate the smell and worry the prevalence will lead to increased mh problems including schizophrenia and psychosis. Can’t understand the desire to do it and smell like that. Potheads rarely come across as impressive people in my experience.

TheYadaYada · 19/08/2023 19:25

Yes. I work in construction and SO many builders smoke joints all day long.

Annaishere · 19/08/2023 19:26

I used to use it when I was young and I didn’t realised how badly it reeks. Even in a bag not used it does. I hope it’s legalised so people eat it instead. My downstairs neighbour smokes it and it actually comes up through the floors

Lostinplaces · 19/08/2023 19:26

i walked past a family with small kids in a shop today and they all reeked of it
