The smell of cannabis

The stench coming mainly from vans sitting in traffic is rife, even at 5am in the morning FFS as I filter past. It's everywhere ..... Must be about to start a stressful day !!!!

I can't imagine heading to work after smoking a joint, and I have no idea how people drive under the influence. Very selfish people.

it's less likely to be the driver, than the passengers?

It is degenerate, I have sympathy for the people who have the misfortune of living next door to degenerates who sit out smoking the stuff.

It's rife. When I was riding a motorbike probably every 10th car/van reeked of weed at going home time.

Even now in a car you can smell it from the car infront.

Have a mate who is a consultant in hospital regularly dealing with psychosis issues; becoming a much bigger issue than 10 years ago.

The stats disagree, there is no increase in serious mental illness relative to cannabis use.

For those arguing that only losers smoke it and cite an anecdote, Carl Sagan was a regular user. There are many other high achievers who have used it.

Not a fan of the smell but it's less objectionable than tobacco.

And that's worse than going for beers after work, how? Alcohol induced psychosis is no less a problem.

I used to work as a rigger as a student, in the van back from a job we would often share a spliff after a long night shift. The driver never smoked, and if it was over an hour away, we would largely be sober by time we dropped home

If smell is an issue, i doubt it's more insulting than the diesel

It's pure politics

I like the smell prob because I used to give Cheech & Chong a run for their money when I was younger.

Is everywhere these days, & just think those builders in the van are probably using it to calm them down from the previous nights booze & coke session….

A very good mate and old hippy who now lives in Switzerland smokes the strongest weed imaginable constantly, it's like nothing I've ever known and other people have said the same thing. One of his jobs over there is chief gardener for a CBD research company.

Used to be the Head of English at Michigan University many years ago, so not quite a loser. He's just turned 69, resembles Keith Richards and sings in a pretty cool blues band.

BTW lizardbrain, I sent you an email.
