It’s the cigarette smell of the 80s and 90s. That’s what the smell of weed
is. However, the smell is way more pronounced than the smell of cigarettes.

The smell of cigarettes is only problematic if you are close up on the smoker.
When some of my former coworkers would take a cigarette break, where they would
go outside and frantically puff away, one could barely smell the smoke in the air
passing by. It wasn’t until being really close up on the smokers that one could smell
the smoke

The smell of weed is way more offensive. Not only can one smell the strong odor
while passing by, it can be smelled from the other side of the street. It’s extremely
disruptive because of its skunk-like smell. It simply stinks.


Now, we got communities that smell like straight up weed factories. I used to hate
the constant smell of coffee and bagels that emanated from the local Starbucks
and Dunkin shops. Constantly smelling those aromas instantly gave me a headache.
But weed smoke makes those aromas a welcoming scent now.

I still don’t understand why people need to use weed or alcohol. It’s simply a
chemical for recreation or social purposes. It’s not an essential need for the body. It’s not a nutrition, and it’s an unnecessary financial expense.
