Guy sitting on bench, smoking a cigarette: Miss, would you happen to have any body spray?
Me: Well, that’s a new one! I’ve been asked for a lighter or some money but never body spray.
Guy: I’m a pot head and a friend told me I should go freshen up before I report to this training today. I’m hoping the cigarette will cover it.
Me: Nope, no body spray. But good luck and have a good day.
Guy: OK, you too.

i used to be a pot head too, but don't remember that you could smell that. not much difference between the breath of a regular smoker and one who smokes dope. the friend probably meant something different, like wash the stoned expression off his face.

...when a cigarette smoker leaves an elevator, it can linger for ten minutes...

yes, tabac stink. what i doubt is that pot stink differs much from that of tabac.

Living in the most densely populated area of one of the first US states to legalize recreational marijuana use, I gotta say it's lovely to walk down the street and regularly catch whiffs of sweet smelling pot rather than the formerly ubiquitous car-exhaust smell of ciggies. I'm not a smoker of anything and so these smells are very acute for me. I can't tolerate the tabac after-stink that lingers like a cloud around people, but I've not noticed a pot aura (other than the bloodshot eyes).

the smoke itself definitely has a distinctive smell, but does that stick to the body of the smoker, say half an hour after the last joint? it's been a while and my memory probably isn't very accurate, but i think it doesn't.

edit: and the aura, including but not limited to the blodshot eyes, is certainly there. but your guy would have a hard time removing either of those with body spray.

It doesn't...the smell that is complained about...ripening pot plants

Indeed, @baggab@pluspora.com . There are a few grow houses in the neighborhood, and you can smell harvest time from a block away. The city has recently added new air filtration regulations for grow houses. Hopefully, it will become less of a nuisance.

It's a nuisance, but not toxic @alysonsee (Hz)...growing can be conducted in Eastern Oregon...there is endless land over the mountains and it's a tax bonanza
