    Or maybe it should be Eww! ...or Blech!

    I walked outside this morning and could smell a skunk in the distance. Trouble is, it's not a skunk.
    It's that new modern marijuana stink. I don't have a problem with people smoking it, but I have a HUGE problem with the stink. It used to smell good, now it smells like pesticide or skunk spray.

    Am I the only one?

    No sir ,, you're not the only one . I used to like the small of it as well,, but todays weed must be grown with chemicals or something,, it just doesn't have that old style smooth smell ,, I don't know how to explain it any better ..
    I had a few guys that worked for me years ago,, they smoked ,, they would burn one during lunch,, I said go ahead ,, I liked the smell of it ,,, but if you started making dumb mistakes or getting lazy ,, no more smoking at the job .

    I have always found it objectionable. Yeah, I'm totally squaresville, man.

    No doubt. Mistakes in my line of work often killed some one else, not the user. Zero tolerance, zero deaths.

    They are constantly growing new strains of it all the time, some of the most powerful and well tuned special effects ever, so it's not supprising the smells have changed! I also note it smells differently when vaperized vs Smoked, the Vape is usually much more punjent. Still, I agree, the smoke of our younger days did smell better, at least it wasn't this nasty weird smoke now days! I'll stick to my CBDs and Butter for my Brownies, and cream rub for my shoulder and back aches, works great and no smoking or any nasty smells though the cream smells like old cardboard/damp library!

    One evening the entire paint/sandblasting crew crawled into one of these offshore to smoke rope.
    The field Forman saw them going in.
    He walked over there and ripped open the door, The smoke and smell almost knocked him down.
    He's like yall have 30 minutes to pack you're bags and get on the boat, The end

    I inhaled tobacco ONCE and I have NEVER tried marijuana! I don't like the smell of tobacco and I ESPECIALLY don't like the smell of marijuana...not now...not 40 years ago!

    I wonder if it's like those nasty smelling pork rinds. They smell stinky to everyone who isn't eating them. The folks that are eating the things can no longer smell them.

    I can't go nose blind to that skunk stink. I had to live with it for ten months while I was living in a hotel with other folks who lost their homes during Hurricane Florence. I'd take the stairs to the fourth floor to avoid the chance of stepping into a putrid elevator. I'll never forget the guy that just stepped in th door at the DMV to look for his friend. He stunk up the whole place in an instant. If you stink like that and are out in public I think you must have no respect for yourself or others.

    Right! Nothing smells quite the same post Covid. Once I finally got the smell and taste back it has never been the same.

    Worked in the mining industry, random drug testing.
    If you came up dirty, there went a $70k / year job. Nothing could save it.
    Some idiots indulged anyway and got caught. They were immediately escorted off the property never to return.
    As HKUser said, accidents in the mines = closed casket.

    I've wondered how all this legal pot thing is supposed to work with Workers Comp. rules ,, company insurance ,, company drug tests and stuff . How can you have drug policies when your states have legal pot ??

    Just because something is legal doesn't mean it has to be tolerated by an employer. Alcohol is legal, but I can't show up for work drunk. Two technicians I can remember were in the habit of showing up less than sober. One let a truck roll off the alignment rack and the other left the nuts off the tie rod ends on a car I had to test drive. It ended up being a wild ride but I stopped short of the woods.

    Smoking legal marijuana may be less dangerous. Slow and smelly are still sure ways to get fired, even if you're not high.

    I have seen it all too often since I was a kid.
    Those that smoke dope, become dopes.
    I had a friend that smoked dope and originally he had a memory that was extraordinary. it's gone.

    I have a class A CDL with endorsements, so the feds require a random Wizz Quiz of me, I get a certified letter in the mail demanding I submit to an approved site within 72 hours of receipt, failure will cause a forfeiture om my commercial driving privilege's and suspension of my regular privilege's, or I better have a damn good reason for not showing up for the test when they demand it! It costs my $15.00 every time too! I had to sick my attorney on them a few years ago, for demanding more then 3 tests per year, that's harassments, and just because i'm self employed and operate under my own authority and plates, doesn't mean they can make those demands on any one! They did send my a letter basically apologizing!

    I also hold an current Pilots license with certifications, something I have worked VERY hard to get and maintain ( Not to mention the thousands of dollars it cost) and I hold a current FULL A&P license with certifications, the FAA is even more strict then the D.O.T. for drug testing, but it's far easier to do, and doesn't cost me anything but time and effort! Funny thing lately, both agencies seem to share their data, so if one decided it's my time, the other automatically counts that on my record!

    Bottom line is, NO DRUGS for me if I wanna keep my CDL and Pilots license, even if it's legal in my state, the feds don't care and enforce it just as forcefully as ever!

    Placing marijuana at the top of the schedule 1 list only turned many millions of Americans into criminals and boosted the illicit trade and smuggling from Mexico, not to mention the cash cow in confiscations and fines for the corporate government. Slaves are made in such a way.

    I don't care who smokes it.
