No one who is smoking legal cannabis is getting "sicker" and going to the ER. Legal cannabis is stringently tested. Street weed is completely different. This is what I was assuming. I am very naive about recreational drugs but I know the smell of weed. Those of us where it is illegal seem to have more of an issue with the smell. Does that sound correct? Could it be the smell is stronger or more unpleasant because it’s not “pure” where it’s illegal? This is a genuine question, I don’t have a clue. There are a lot of variances in how it smells, some is very skunky. As far as smoking it in hotels, I dont approve of that because it is against the rules of the hotels BUT in my state, where it is legal, you can only legally smoke in your home or garage- so indoors. It is silly. You can drink wherever (yes, that is a slight exaggeration) and alcohol causes far more problems than legal cannabis. It is just a way of maintaining the stigma. |

Are edibles illegal where you are? I am wondering if more people are using edibles in areas where it is legal as opposed to smoking it, which could be why I don't smell it a lot. However, even when it was illegal, I still didn't smell it much, except at usual places like concerts. So, my theory could be totally off.  Generally, if cannabis is legal, it is legal in flower, concentrates, edibles and vape carts (and sometimes beverages). You wouldnt really have a situation where edibles are legal, but flower is not. |

Not all weed smells are weed! We stayed at a hotel in Palm Springs, and I jokingly mentioned to our pool waiter that the entire property smelled like a Grateful Dead concert. He pointed to all the vines growing up the buildings and said most people do not smell anything, but this vine (can't remember the name, but it had small pink trumpet shaped flowers) smelled like weed to some people, and cat urine to others. My DH, DD and I all smelled weed, DS did not smell a thing. I didn't put much effort into researching it, but I did find there are several plants, other than actual cannabis, that can smell like weed.

It’s legal here in MI. I don’t smell it at too many places. The worst is in the 5th grade hall at my school. From the parents, of course. The smell sticks on the kids clothes.

Study includes street weed and people who cannot legally posess it in states where it is legal. Id like to see the data for legal users of legal cannabis. Physical injuries were listed as most common, so accidents caused by overindulging, just like alcohol and not the fault of the product, but the user. Second is respiratory issues- legal cannabis is very different from street weed. No doubt that it could cause respiratory issues, but not in the same way as illegal cannabis products can. Always the option to consume without smoking or vaping. |

“Something that I've never thought about before, until reading your post...... in the states where marijuana is legal, are you allowed to drive after smoking or having edibles?”AussieMeg In California it is illegal to drive while high. It is treated like any other DUI. Testing though can only be done by a blood sample or urine test, which is illegal to decline. And, since traces of marijuana can stay in your system for a long time, there has to be other evidence that you are impaired such as the way you were driving, appearance, failing a field sobriety test, etc. It's a lot like drinking. It depends on how much you've had and when you had it. Here in Colorado, driving high and getting a ticket is like a DUI. We have signs all over saying not to do it. Sadly, people do it. It's a crime: 5 days to 1 year in jail. $600 – $1,000 fine. Maximum 9-month driver's license suspension. Up to 96 hours of community service. |

I am sorry that you have to deal with a non pleasant smell. Unfortunately there are a lot of communities that have industries with smells that travel. Totally stinks (😉) though. I lived in Bradenton Florida for awhile. OMG, if you have ever smelled the stench from the Tropicana plants. I now live near a large coffee roasting establishment. Another OMG not a good smell for me. Oh good lord the turkey farms outside Greeley CO. That smell carries for miles. Would rather smell pot any time. For that matter, the refineries and chemical plants on the east side of Houston stink all the time, too. I have always smelled the cow farms. So, so bad outside of Greeley. |

I would not be opposed to banning commercial livestock operations, but I suspect the people here who want to ban pot would not agree with me.  |

Medical marijuana is legal here.
I think the only time I smelled it was in the hospital when a certain CNA took care of me. Whatever it was, it was strong AF and it wasn't cologne or body wash.
