View Full Version : Skunk Weed
What do you all do when you encounter people smoking pot at your location?
I was at a breakfast joint this morning, and almost had to excuse myself when the skunk weed odor came in.

Idaho, fortunately, still takes a dim view of marijuana use. It's not legal here in any form, for any reason. Possession of more than 3 ounces is a felony. So that sort of thing doesn't happen here.
I tell the nearest adult.
Felony for a plant.......

The parking garage at work constantly wreaks of it. The smell is nasty to me now....wasn't always that way.
I really wonder why people even smoke it any more. Edibles seem "more healthy" than inhaling anything but air and more convenient and discrete. But hey, I haven't partook (is that a word?) in any of that shit for many, many years.

Edibles and smoking are different things.
ETA: I was going to say not sure I'd want to be high while gambling, but I do it drunk, so...

Of course, but I used to make edibles (brownies, cookies, etc.) decades ago and it got you stoned. Just like smoking, just a little different effect and it could be more potent that way...you had to be careful. But hey, like I said, it's been many years. Things change. Just seems like a more practical way to ingest cannabis to me.
Meh, people smell like sweat, literal shit, and even worse. I’d rather have to smell weed than stale beer breath any day.

"partaken" is pretty solid.

Annoying?
Yes.
Worth worrying about or saying something to them?
No.
Anything you would do or say makes you the ass.
Pick your battles.
The way I see it I have the advantage on them. I have clarity of thought and judgement, I'm not the stoned one.
I am more aware of my surroundings.
I have more cash in my pocket because it's not going up in smoke and I am not buying Doritos, Twinkies and Mountain Dew.
I could care less if somebody wants to smoke, eat, vape or whatever and make themselves as cognitive as a tomato.
Go ahead, dull yourselves to the reality around you.
I have the edge, I know the reality around me.
What does piss me off is the "unintended consequences" of the crap.
Stoned drivers that cause my insurance rates to raise.
Stoned drivers that hurt innocent people.
Good people getting burned out of buying a home with conventional financing because the dope entrepreneur has to do something legal with the cash they can't deposit in a bank so they buy a property over the asking price for cash. (Has happened to 3 people I know.) Partially responsible for increased property costs.
The population explosion of this state, the front range in particular.

My mother in law goes over to them & sniffs (being quite obvious) & then says 'oh skunk' in a very Minnesotan / Norwegian way.
Its very funny & usually makes the offender uncomfortable.

*Sniff* "Slider, you stink."
I'm most tired of the "its healthy for you maaaan" bullshit. Same ol' shit, 50 years later. Smoking things is quite the opposite, no matter what they are. As long as their not "sharing" all that "healthy smoke" with everyone, it doesn't bother me above a level of reinforcing my beliefs about how far society has fallen and the growing percentage of "dreg". Lets face it... when you smell someone from 70' off, they aren't an occasional user nor are they holding down a job, that's a 4 bowls a day basement dweller.
The practice itself (esp edibles) shouldn't be illegal, but our society needs to stop marketing it to everyone and their dog, especially smoking as "healthy" and without any ills upon society. I'd have no problem at all if they said "Hey, this is a vice no different from any other, it'll have some adverse affects on your life, but make you feel good really temporarily. YMMV. You're not safe to drive or operate heavy machinery under the influence and will get charged."
Instead, we get "SMOKING weed will cure gonnoreasiphilaids, make you stronger, better in the sack, have twelve babes on each arms, and never have to work again!"
The people that smell like weed are the same demographic that smelled like weed before it was legal as well. The people that use cannabis and are professionals don’t walk around reeking like weed. There is just more of them these days

I would ask that the restaurant manager locate and remove the problem from their premises. Smoking pot and tobacco fall under the same prohibition of smoking in and around structures. Be polite but firm and let them know that as a regular customer you expect a better experience.
My friends kid always says "smells like a loser is here" or "smells like s loser walked in".

Pssh, it's not morning, it's just a few hours before bed after a Fortnight bender. Otherwise mom gets all up in his grill about finding a job.

Yep.
That's what I tell myself in order to keep my cool every time I'm forced to visit an old folks home. Also applies to other situations in which I feel threatened for zero reason.
Say what you will about weed, Doritos, but leave Mtn. Dew out of this.

Some of the opinions presented in this thread regarding weed makes me wonder what member’s stances are on coffee, alcohol, and any one of the thousands of over the counter or prescribed drugs available in this country.

Coffee smells good.
By and large alcohol has no odor, and when it does, it doesn't fill the room the way weed does.
Likewise, prescription and OTC drugs don't give off an odor, unless it's something like Icy Hot or whatever.

I'm not following you apparently. Are you saying if one's OK with those other substances they shouldn't have a problem with MJ?

On May 26, a rancher reported to the Otero County Sheriff?s Office (OCSO) that his 13-year-old son was shot at while rounding up cattle on leased grazing property in the county, the release says. The rancher noted that his son was near a suspected illegal marijuana grow.
Such a force for good in this state.

As long as it?s still illegal on a Federal level, and cannot cross state lines with it and you cannot obtain or retain a CDL if tested positive for it I will keep my opinion about it.
Goes beyond a CDL. There are many employers that test for it and it will disqualify employment.
Yay Pot!

Do you also blame whiskey for the St Valentine's Day massacre?

One can make a direct correlation.
If it were not for the Volstead Act making alchohol illegal we likely would not have seen the escalation in organized crime which the St Valentines was a result of.

Correct, just like if pot wasn't illegal, cartels wouldn't be involved. They'd be doing other things still. But they legalization of weed in certain states, has little to do with what the cartels are doing.
One exception being California making pot crimes not felonies so it is more difficult to prosecute gorilla grows. Cartels have been having gorilla grows in California since before that law changed and they wouldn't care either way.

I freely admit that I have a hypocritical opinion of pot versus alcohol. My parents didn't smoke dope, but did enjoy an occasional drink.
I spent my "pot formative" years of 16 - 26 trying to get into a Service Academy / ROTC, being in ROTC, or on Active Duty as an Army Officer. I spent plenty of time in the LTC's office explaining how SPC Johnny's Chain-of Command was going to help him not smoke any more joints.
If it has a legitimate medical use, then it should controlled and prescribed though the normal medical and pharmaceutical systems, NOT "Paco's Green Cross Rec and MMJ" on the corner.
I hate the stupid vagrants who came to CO for "legal weed" and all the baggage they brought with them.
Yeah- Not a fan, whether it's a smelly "legal" grow warehouse, an illegal cartel grow shooting at rancher's kids, stupid shit bags occupying pubic spaces, or the gateway properties towards harder drugs.
As long as it?s still illegal on a Federal level, and cannot cross state lines with it and you cannot obtain or retain a CDL if tested positive for it I will keep my opinion about it.
The farm bill of 2018 changed a couple of your stipulations Bob.
Cdl is the sole to the letter survivor.
I know you mean high thc content products
As long as the thc level is under .3 it can and is transported across the country daily.
I grew up in a farming community in southern Colorado with potatoes being king. Right now paying the bills it?s coors Barley and industrial Cannabis. Even the mennonites and Mormons are in the game. A group of mennonites in the San Luis valley came up with the first usable combine head for cannabis and sold it to John Deere

No, I?m trying to shed light on the concept that we are preconditioned by our society to accept certain drugs and substances that alter our minds and bodies, and to demonize other substances.
I personally believe alcohol to have had a greater negative impact on society and individual lives in a historic and modern day sense than pot ever has come close to.

I gotcha. If there was no such thing as alcohol about 90% of the cops in the country would be out of a job. It does cause a lot of problems for society. Personally, I'm no fan of MJ. Not my thing. But I agree there are probably worse things out there. That's not to say that legalizing drugs is necessarily a smart thing to do. Just like some things that are legal to do may not be appropriate to do.
