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.

I'm for that. Some people slather that shit on like it's sunscreen. I shouldn't be able to smell someone from across the room for any reason. Pot is just the most frequent offender in my line of work.

Hell yeah. I like the smell of pot (but I don’t like smoking it) and prefer it over perfume or cologne hahaha

Most drunks don’t smell like alcohol though, you’re totally correct on that point. Only if they’re talking into my nose.

Quick edit: mephedrone was the worst offender for users smelling bad. It was legitimately cat piss smell that would seep put yer pores. I’m glad it’s been gone for a long while now.
