wow I could have just smoked weed.

Weed smoke smells like BO and cat piss yet anon still smokes it. They should know exactly why people drink.

Have you ever smelled an alcoholic? I'll gladly take the smell of weed over the smell of booze and piss.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but generally you only smell that when you're near that person. The smell of pot smoke will permeate an entire building. Also most functional alcoholics don't smell like booze and piss; it needs to get pretty bad before it starts becoming noticable. But anyone who recently smoked any pot is going to absolutely reek of it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people shouldn't be alowed to smoke pot. But if were going to be trappped in same enclesed space for the next 10 hours could you at least do edibles instead? Some of the people I work around literally make my eyes water some days.

Only if we also stop people from using cologne and perfume, because that stuff makes my eyes water literally every single time I smell it.

The smell of weed has always been abhorrent to me. A true blooded alcoholic reeks like shit too, but most casual drinkers, or even alcoholics that care enough to still have good hygiene, don't smell nearly as bad to me.

But to each their own and whatnot.

Weed IS known for smelling like skunks, and skunk spray isn't meant to smell nice

Makes me wonder who was the crazy fucker in the past who first tried weed and what the fuck was wrong with their nose?

I don’t like the feeling of weed anymore and yet I still enjoy the smell. I’ve got to be a gross person.

What's really fun is the smell of multi-organ failure when you're helping with hospice for an alcoholic.

If only there was some way to consume weed that didn't involve smoking it.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I make edibles, and I'm always looking for recipes with strong flavor because I hate the taste of marijuana. Mint is a good one.

You can buy gummies to smoke, it's a way different smell. 🧠

Wait wait wait, police here here, this guys smokes the EVIL HERB.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah. I'm not a fan of weed. I just do shrooms. Or at least I did before I wound up on a med that also happens to be basically shroom narcan.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ssri's/ssnri's huh? Fucking sucks...

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Yup. Buspirone. It's basically shuts down the exact receptors that psylocybin works on. Now shrooms just make me nauseous.

They said smoke in the post. That's why I said smoke. I'm well aware edibles are a thing. That's the only way it's currently legal in my state.

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah that’s fine. Just wanted to offer some advice to someone who might want to enjoy THC but hates the smell of weed smoke :) but apparently you gud. The ONLY way? Wow that’s crazy. To be fair it’s the best way so wtev lol. But if that’s the only way, are you allowed to grow it? Can’t you have like 3 plants or something? How are you supposed to make your own edibles if you can’t grow it?

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The reason it's only legal as edibles is because the republicans in my state senate accidentally merged a bill that specified an allowable amount of THC in food meant to legalize delta 8 THC edibles. But the law never specified the type of THC and it placed no limit on the amount of edibles you could buy. They weren't intending to pass it yet but at the end of a session it got accidentally merged with a bunch of other bills that they were passing and got passed anyways. Theres a fun news story about it.

Now we have also passed the laws to legalize pot in general. But we don't have the specifics worked out as far as dispensary laws and liscensed growers yet so even though it's technically legal my understanding is that theres still no legal way to get outside of edibles.

That is SO funny. Thank you
