I don't know that this is really an unpopular opinion. Even a lot of people that I know that smoke it hey going into an area where they can't get away from the smell.  And I would think out of all people, and they would be just fine with it. So who knows?  Personally, I agree with you.
i feel like you can get high for free in nyc just by walking around for 10-15 minutes >

I’m in a smaller city and feel the same. When I get to the garage I park in the smell is intensified, it bugs me so much I dread going there now. 
I’m someone who actually likes going in to the office, so I’m not saying that as an excuse to not go. >

Wait wait wait… a guy who doesn’t care for the smell of weed also likes going to the office?!
Something doesn’t add up >

narc alert >

I smoke weed myself and I have to say I agree. It is nice to just be able to breathe fresh air when I’m outside. >

Haha you’re kinda right. Driving at 7:00 am this morning and smelled that smelly smell in traffic. >

The kind of smelly smell that smells…. Smelly >

Do you smell that smell >

🎶Oooo, that smell! >

Cant you smell that smell >

My asthmatic ass hates this second hand shit >

I'm also asthmatic. Sometimes, some dudes smoke it just outside of the building. It seeps right into my apartment. I've had to cover my windows with blankets to keep the smell from getting in because it drives my asthma crazy. I can't even do much about it. I've already spoken to them about it and they were just like "we're already outside, what more do you want from us?" It's annoying as hell. >

That's wild. Cigarette smoke has always triggered my asthma (along with everything outside, perfumes, anything in an aerosol can, any and all animals, etc.) Weed smoke has never caused me issues and I've never quite understood why...like, I can smoke weed and be okay. Meanwhile, I stand outside for 10 minutes and need my rescue inhaler. >

As a smoker, I have to say the extreme smell is awful.
A lot of people are also obviously smoking some stretched weed. You can smell it from a fricking mile before lighting it up and while smoking it smells awful.
I disliked the hype of vapes(those liquid ones kids started to use) but vapes for dry herbs are so amazing. My mighty is doing a good job, its A LOT more healthy and it smells barely. Smoke is always awful for your health >

Do you just put like a whole bud in the vape and it heats it up and vaporises it? Curious how they work. Been interested in trying one over a bong or joint tbh as it's no longer a party thing for me >

You generally grind the weed first. But yeah the idea is it heats up the weed enough to vaporize the cannabinoids and terpenes, but not enough to burn the plant matter. >

How much would one 'chamber's usually last, or how many hits? Also I assume you dispose of the plant material? >

It depends on the vape. Typically the more portable ones have small chambers good for a few hits, while desktop vaporizers have more capacity. The vaped weed still contains leftover cannabinoids, and conveniently the THC gets “activated” (decarboxylated if you want to get specific) so you can eat the leftovers if you want to squeeze even more out of it. >

As a weed smoker I agree. I don't think it's right. Public places shouldn't be hindered by other people's vices. >

You seem very reasonable which is nice to see. Whenever I ask people smoking in bathrooms if they could not, they act like I just murdered their family >

Probably because you’re gonna just use the bathroom and get out right? Get over it, use it, wash your hands and get out. Mind your own business next time >

It’s hard to mind your business when you walk out smelling like garbage >

Skill issue >

What do you mean by skill issue? I do not smoke so I admit I am not well versed in it >

It needs to be treated like smoking cigarettes. If you wanna smoke pot, go for it. But don’t do it around other people or in public because it smells awful >

The problem is that the weed smell clings and sticks around much longer than tobacco >

I can say the opposite. I can clear my house of any pot smell within an hour, if I smoked cigs in there though it would always be musty >

I've always heard cig stick more but it's due to the quantity being smokes. I'm sure if you smoke 20 1 gram joints a room would reak like a chain smokers room the next day. >

You’re right, it’s terrible. >

Was in the store the other day and a woman reeked of weed. I get that being high helps your anxiety in public but got dayum you don’t have to hotbox in your car right before you go in. Common courtesy, Damit. You stink and we know you’re fucked up. >

Tbh a lot of people (especially those smelling a lot like weed) have bigger issues with anxieties because they smoke.
You are still getting the danger of becoming addicted (yes it can be addictive) and being reckless with important things. Also forgetting important stuff you wanted to improve >

I can’t disagree with you. I don’t care who smokes what. But the stink of it is everywhere. It doesn’t smell anything like it used to. Now it just always smells like skunk outside. >

Somehow, it's worse when the stench comes from a person standing in line at the bus stop. >

I enjoy weed, but it is annoying. >

Heavily agree with you. Weed should definitely be decriminalized imo but the smell can be god awful >

It should still have restrictions. But yeah, it's not such a serious drug that it should be treated like cocaine or heroin. It harms yiu, and it negatively affects your brain and lungs(if you smoke it), but it's definitely not the worst drug out there the argument is that it's a gateway drug, which it definitely is. But I'm not sure what my opinion is on that. >

It’s a gateway to what exactly? >

A gateway to other drugs. >

I’m simply curious what lead to this conclusion? >

I've met multiple drug addicts, most all of them said their first drug was weed. You can probably find plenty of statistics on it if you look it up and scroll for like two seconds. >

How much would you chance their first drug was actually a cigarette. As if we’re going with statistics, that’s the most common first drug apart from alcohol. Would you consider cigarettes are actually a gateway? >

I'd say they're a gateway, too. Cigarettes are way more frowned upon now, though. So a lot of people are starting with vapes and weed. >

Then again cigarettes aren't, to my limited understanding, a 'recreational' drug. Maybe underage drinking is a bigger 'gateway' because it's done recreationally and it lets people be mentally ok with breaking the law? >

Why is everyone acting like I said weed is THE gateway drug? All I said is that it IS one. There's a lot of gateway drugs. Weed just happens to be one of them. In my comment, if anyone would actually read it, says that the biggest argument against weed is that it's a gateway drug. >

Weed smells so much worse than cigarettes imo i mean both are gross but weed smells worse >

Smells like a skunk >

Your city street and town must be smoking mids >

Doesn't matter the quality, always smells like skunk >

Quality 100% matters >

I have no problem with weed, but just like cigarettes and alcohol there should be limitations on where you can partake. >

The smell annoys me too. What is double annoying is that like alcohol, weed is legal in Canada. Yet, I can't drink a beer anywhere I want but people seem to smoke weed anywhere they want, which wouldn't be a problem but for the smell. My beer that I have to hide at the beach does not smell when opened. It doesn't waft everywhere for everyone to smell. Go figure. >

I work on cars for a living, and everyday I'm shocked at how many customer cars reek of weed. It's like these people don't even drive them unless they're smoking weed. It's like they're powered by weed. It's weird how everyone finally agrees that drinking and driving is bad, but getting high while driving is totally fine. I hate it. >

I don’t mind the smell of quality weed, it’s the crappy junky weed that smells terrible and makes me nauseous. >

Smoked weed is like farts, it only smells good to the culprit. >

I smoke cannabis oil because I hate smelling like weed after. I dont hate the smell, but I'd rather not bother other people with my scent. Haha. >

I agree. I’m 30 and wow, i find the smell annoying ever since high school. I have smoked it tho, but I don’t understand how people get “hooked” on it or make it a lifestyle >

Same way people get hooked on coffee or any thing really. You’re told it’s not bad for you, people just forget the in moderation part of it. >

The difference between the coffee drinker and stoner is, when coffee drinker were told thats consumed it too much is bad, they just denied they consumed it too much or they just don’t care.
Weed stoner on the other hand will say its cure their depression and its good for you as its doesn’t have side effects and everyone should smoke ones.
But well, one is antipsychotic while the other one is psychotic. So its of no surprise one embraced reality while the other one is in denials. >

Which are you saying is which sorry? >

Hes saying coffee addicts embraced reality and weed addicts are in denial. Took me like 3 reads to figure. 
Not sure I agree, definitely seen coffee users saying it's healthy and weed users who know they are addicted and are actively hurting their lives >

I kinda like it >

Where is this? Because I've lived in Canada my entire life and we've been smoking pot pretty openly for what feels like my entire life and it's been fully legal since 2016 or so and I don't smell weed anywhere I go >

Weird, because I enjoy smelling it, but I don’t like smoking it. >

I guess I’m the only person that loves the smell >

Where do you live? Like this is not that common >

Smaller U.S. city. 
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it does seem common here and just as common to see people openly smoking during the day. >

I'm not in the same boat as you lol, I don't really mind the smell. I dint really smell it that often either, but I get it man I've heard a lot of ppl say it smells like skunk. >

Awesome username!
I’m self proclaimed extremely sensitive to smells. I’m not ruling out that I could be hypercritical of this particular smell due to weed making me anxious. >

Thank you !
I wouldn't worry about it too much, if you don't like the smell you just dont like it. No one should get on to you about that, especially if you're sensitive to that stuff. (I personally am sensitive to textures and sounds) 
I think the more it's accepted, the more it's going to become like how people have seen smoking cigarettes. In the sense, there'll be no smoking zones, and you'll have to be a certain age to get it in stores, etc. >

r/ImTheMainCharacter >

I think the way Colorado does it is good in that you can have it but you have to smoke it in your house / in very specific areas >

This entire thread is full of people who are implying that you can just walk down the street ripping a bong and blowing smoke up at people's houses.
Look I spoke weed. And I get where y'all are coming from. Cuz I don't like the smell of cigarettes. 
If you live in an apartment complex, the person smoking weed probably isn't allowed to per thier lease agreement. If you're walking around public streets and there's a dude the smoking a joint, 99% chance they're breaking the law.
But using my specific situation, if I'm in my backyard in my garage smoking a joint, and you catch a whiff of my weed 200 ft away on your front porch, sorry. Deal with it. >

No they aren’t. Walk around any popular place like the Vegas strip or Pacific Beach or just general downtown areas and it’s a constant barrage of shitty weed smoke. Anybody worried about you in your back yard is a bitch. >

I’m in Canada. 
It’s legal here.
I don’t smoke weed. 
The only time I have a problem with it is when people are doing it with kids around. 
I have the same issue with cigarettes.
It’s not about the weed.
It’s about the smoking. 
I personally don’t agree with smoking around kids. But people are legally allowed to. 
I just choose not to do it and I choose to be around people who don’t either. >

I'm Canadian too. I smoke. I don't smoke around kids though, weed or cigs. I'm fairly considerate. Even though it's legal doesn't mean you need to be rude. >

I honestly like the smell of weed. I hate cigarette smells. It just smells dirty and stale and like rot. 
To me weed smells like a herby incense.
Hell I will buy low grade dirt cheap cbd.(not weed but smells nearly identical and cost less than a 10th of the price) Like online a 1/4lb sells for 11.99 And burn it just for the smell. >

I was at the dollar 25 tree the other day and a family came in that smelled so strongly I damn near got a contact high three aisles away. It made me a little sad because they had small children with them who STUNK of skunk. 
I don’t care if you do it or don’t, but there’s no need to do it around small children so much that they reek too. >

I don’t get to tell the random guy at stop and shop to take a shower because he hasn’t washed in a week, I deal with it because it’s not my business. Do the same. B >

Weed is worse than cigarettes, in my opinion, although that might just be because im used to the smell. The smell seems to spread out over a bigger area. >

I agree with you for short term smell but weed smell seems to dissipate over time while cigarette smell seems to linger insanely long afterwards >

I think they're about equal, at least outdoors. I don't have enough experience inside spaces where people have smoked weed to comment on that. Cigarettes might take the cake for how much residue they produce on walls and whatnot, that shit's nasty. >

I’m of the opposite opinion. I don’t smoke weed (anything for that matter), but I like wafting through some weed smoke. Smells nice. But to each his own. >

As someone who doesn't smoke weed, its weird...I LOVE the smell of weed if I have some in my hand, or its in front of me, but the smell of the smoke if you walk into an area where someone just smoked smells like total shit.  I could sit with 5 nugs of weed against my nose all day though. >

I get chronic migraines and nothing is as much a trigger for me as smell. Cigarettes smell bad and stick to things longer, but I think weed smells worse >

Weed did NOT smell this bad 30 years ago. Now it smells exactly like a skunk attack. >

Yes it did. It reeked just as bad then as it does now. >

Isn’t it wonderful that people can disagree? >

Yup. >

Look, I'm a weed user, but I fully agree with you. I used to smoke and I hated smoking in public areas because I knew someone was going to have to smell my cancer stick >

Yeah, I can't stand the smell of weed, though cigarettes do not bother me. Maybe years of bartending in the 90's? It (like cigarettes) clings to clothes and hair and smells like skunk mixed with HS locker room to me. >

Denver. Oh my God, it’s nauseating. >

fact: it is an objectively nicer reality when less people are getting arrested for harmless activities >

While I’m glad people can use weed recreationally, I get migraines from the smell. I hate that I’m expected to tolerate that to accommodate them. Do what you want where there’s 0% chance of negatively impacting someone, I don’t blame ya for wanting to not be sober tbh >

I smoke weed everyday. Now it is prescribed use for sleep, and it helps me a lot, incase that means anything to anyone.
I like the smell of weed. Ive grown accustomed to it and enjoy it. But I more than understand im in the minority and as such I do everything I can to be considerate. If I've just smoked, I spray my clothes and myself with deodorant. If I'm smoking in public, I'll go far away from everyone. It's common courtesy. No one should have to feel uncomfortable for my decisions so I do everything I can. For some they may be trying to stay sober, for some it may remind them of triggering events, for some it's just unpleasant. All of which is valid and deserves respect. >

I ain’t reading allat >

Do you dribble as much or more than you say stupid, unconstructive things? >

Smoke of all kinds is just bad, undeniably bad for lungs. We have heart transplants, liver transplants, kidney transplants but without healthy lungs you're gonna suffer.
If you need medical marijuana go for it! Just don't smoke it (and definitely don't make me breathe any amount of it in). >

Man look at this square >

Very. 
I work healthcare: see people suffering for dumb shit like this too much. Use your damn sunscreen, too! I've seen too many with holes in their faces through the bone.
¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯ >

Cars are worse - and everyone gets super defensive about cars without even considering it >

Apples and oranges. >

surely, but they ARE worse if you think about it >

I can't stand it.  Every time I go to a store, a pothead parks next to me reaking of weed.  I hope these motherfuckers start getting locked up for DUIs.  Just do that shit at home. >

As someone who enjoys products made with TCH, I cannot stand the smell of actual weed, it's sticky and off-putting, and I spend way too much on this perfume to get weed smell stuck all over me. >

THC* >

Ugh, autocorrect fail, I'm not changing it. >

I hate smokers in general. It's the rudest vice because you make what you do everybody else's problem. >

100% rather be surrounded by cig smoke than weed. Shit is disgusting smelling and gives me a headache. >

Its kinda sad but its way better than cigs. >

I agree 1000%. I also dont care if you smoke it every sevond of your life, BUT do it at home. >

I live in Los Angeles and even I don’t smell weed everywhere. It’s probably because you hate it so much, it’s now a psychological thing. >

You’re probably not wrong. Again, I don’t hate that others do it.
However, weed makes me extremely anxious and the smell in the past has triggered similar anxiety. 
If you know how to mentally get over this, I welcome ideas haha. >

I honestly wouldn’t know where to start because I don’t think something has triggered my anxiety in this way. Is there a reason why it makes you so anxious or it just does ? >

Are you the snitch at my job that is always pointing out "It smells like weed"? Ratting on people and snitching constantly  lol >

Boohoo. Life must be so hard for you. >

Man its almost like you live on a planet with 8 billion other fuckers you cant control. Bummer dawg. Good luck with that. >

Read  here awhile back that some  areas of US cities are just covered in a perpetual smoke cloud these days, l thought they were exaggerating? >

I’m in a smaller city, so take this for what it’s worth. I wouldn’t say it’s some cloud over the city, but it would be rare if I didn’t smell it when walking around for even 5 minutes. >

I enjoy a smoke as much as the next guy but l wouldn't want to be smelling it when out in public, that's mad inconsiderate. >

Crazy world. Lots of smells. You'll be okay. >

If you go outside, you're gonna smell all sorts of smells, food cigarettes, vape, other people etc get over it. Or move to the countryside and complain about the farm smells >

It is fine and you need to get with the program. I suggest you do some adjustments and learn to love it, to yearn for it. I want you waking up praying to smell that sweet aroma filing your nostrils because we not going anywhere. You can take that and a nickel to the bank and buy some biscuits. >

Either you're joking or you're an asshole lmao >

I was driving to work yesterday morning and a car next to me in deadlocked traffic was just lighting up.
Normally I don't give a shit, but this is traffic and they were putting everyone else on the road in danger in already shitty traffic. Plus, my job has a strict drug policy, if they even think they smell it, you're off to get a piss test. Couldn't keep the smell out of my car as they were half a car length ahead and the breeze kept blowing it over.  
Wake n' bake, I guess. >

That’s actually very annoying to have to sit there and just be inhaling secondhand and not be able to do anything about it. >

I smoke weed and I hate the smell, at the dispensary when they’d ask if I want to smell it I couldn’t say no fast enough. That being said I’d rather smell weed and cigarettes at the same time then vape juice. Nothing frustrates me more walking down the sidewalk behind someone blowing grape smoke everywhere, something about it smells so artificial it makes me nauseous. >

It does smell, but anyone saying it smells worse than cigarette smoke is smoking something themselves.  Cigarettes are the absolute worst. >

i love the smell of weed but i also like the smell of nail polish >

Weed when it isn’t burned: Smells great
Weed after it’s been burned: Not that pleasant
I have some stuff in my room to try and mask the smell of it because as much as I like weed, not really a fan of its smell >

Yeah for me it's hard cause I quit smoking weed and every time I smell it I wanna smoke SO DAMN BAD >

I feel for ya. 
Weed would make me anxious and now smelling weed often triggers my anxiety. It’s a real ball to fun. >

My first recognition of  random weed use was when I was staying at a hotel, went out for a smoke (cigarette), and encountered the distinctive smell, and a group of people nearby enjoying some weed. I've also been driving down a 50 mph highway, had that distinctive smell enter my closed-up car, discovering on my way back that I had passed a dispensary. I don't smell it everywhere, and I'm not bothered by it, but you're bound to encounter it where it's legal. >

Kids at my campus are constantly getting bathroom shut down. Not being able to use the only bathroom within a distance is not fun. Then they get mad when the rules get stricter. Same with vapes. I don’t care what people do with their money and time, just don’t make it our problem. Not everyone want to smell that and deal with it >

I don't smoke, and I don't mind it, but I certainly understand people who do. It's an intrusion upon public spaces. >

I'll be honest, I've always done a little scowl when I hear someone with a joint says how much healthier it is then tobacco cigarettes.
At least with weed, you can eat the damn thing, get high, and you won't smell the joint up or fuck with your lungs. I wish more people would do this route. Obviously I'm not a fan of joints and dabs. >

I've said this 100 times.  People who smoke and don't take baths smell like fucking bug spray. >

I smoke weed (well, vape.) and I absolutely hear you.  You can’t go anywhere in the greater Boston area and not smell weed.  It’s definitely a bit much. >

Went to L.A couldn't believe how it's almost impossible to escape >

Funny how they want to ban gas stoves because of asthma concerns.... But simultaneously looking to legalize more things to smoke...
It's nothing but agendas and approved narratives. And the approved narrative that gets upvotes is:
Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol: bad.
Smoking pot and taking party drugs: good. >

If you’re walking, just keep walking >

Just cause its legal doesn’t mean it doesn’t smell like ass. Just like cigarettes >

Sorry about that sir, I also wish I could subdue that musk. I must get my fix though >

Jesus, I actually kind of agree with this.  I am pro legalisation, but weed culture is boring and smelling it everywhere is annoying.
But both are minor irritants in the scheme of things
