Yes they can if disturbed by a breeze or rubbing up against them. If you ran through a pot field you would be really fragrant and covered in crystals.

That is the thing though. The visual people get when they think of pot smokers are hippies, heads, stoners etc, but the simple truth is that the vast majority of the people who imbibe in cannabis are everyday tax payers who come from every walk of life.

In my business I engage my clients and we talk about all manner of things while their vehicles are being worked on, and so many are people you would never assume. Everyone from doctors to lawyers to CEO's to engineers to professors to law enforcement to the elderly etc, etc, etc use it, and you would never know because for the most part they don't advertise it due to the preconceived notions people have of cannabis users. These are hard working, smart, intelligent and responsible people, and there are more of those who are pot users than your old Cheech and Chong types. These people do not puff and drive. They do not puff and work. Their recreational escape has no bearing on their quality contributions to society and contribute they do!

I just ask people keep an open mind and not be too judgemental of them. As time goes on I am confident the stigma will fall away and one day we will look back on this just as people do on the prohibition of alcohol now.

Very, very well said.

Too bad some are so silly about all this and prefer the "Chicken Little - Sky is Falling" view of life. Take your pick... the devil's music (aka rock and roll), gays, same-sex marriage, pot et. al. Yet, the sun just keeps rising in the morning. Whoda thunk it?

I agree with this, it is well stated. I know people who do exactly as you say, and you would never know they used it....but part of that is because they are really respectful of where they smoke it too (not being secretive, just aware that some people don't like the smell and I put myself in that category. I hate cigarette smoke too, but I enjoy a Dominican cigar on occasion myself. I always try to be sensitive of those around me, to not have my smoke blowing at them).

There is the 'other side' though Bob, I personally have the unfortunate circumstance of having to work with another crew of tradespeople who reek like pot the moment they show up to work (and they have embarrassed me a couple times, meeting with me and clients like this)....they smoke at coffee break, they smoke at lunch, they smoke at coffee break, they smoke before they head home after work, and I assume they smoke when they get home and before they go to bed. I learned my lesson the first time I knocked on the window of their truck and they rolled it down to talk to me, I almost gagged.

So while the stereotype may not be fair to all, there is a reason the stereotype exists....as always, some making the whole look bad. I personally don't care if people use it recreationally, after a productive day of work and contributing as you said...We both know I enjoy a good scotch, each to his own. But I do have issue with those who are perpetually high...even if they are 'high functioning stoners' who do good work while high. Sobriety on the job site is a safety issue for me.

And the employer should put the run on them no different than if they showed up to work 6 sheets to the wind.

Pot smokers are similar to cat ladies, they just can't seem to grasp the fact that they smell bad and not everyone loves their habit (addiction perhaps?) as much as they do. If you spend a week in the bush hunting moose with your pals and no shower you think all is well till you get home and the wife won't go near you because you stink.... same idea .

Obese people stink too. Now what???

Yes, I agree...but they never seem to get caught by the super (and if they did, he'd probably smoke with them anyway...). They are sub contractor, just like myself, and the 'boss' is smoking with his crew. The sad thing is they are in high demand, and really do good work, and if they got skidded here there are 3 more builders that would be happy to put them to work tomorrow, so they don't really care. I don't work around them generally (I come in and finish the drywall they hang) but enough to know their routine.

By all means I agree 100% Twisted! I get grossed out hard when that stinky chain smoker who seems to just absorb tobacco smoke into every pore of his body comes in breathing cigarette breath in my face too and I do everything in my power to remove myself from the "zone of grossness" before I hurl, or the guy who seems to think it is okay to walk into my shop and light up a smoke with no regard to those around him. That said, a whiff of cigarette smoke doesn't make me upset or anything. I just need to remove myself from the overload of it.

Everybody should think about those around them before doing anything that not everyone may appreciate. I am just like you. If I smoke a cigar, it is out on my own deck, or at a place with others who partake or don't mind. If I am enjoying a scotch or 4, it is my own home or only outside my home if I don't have to drive anywhere. If I have a puff I am not doing so at the expense of everyone around me.

My point was more to contradict the perceived implication that everyone who smokes cannabis is a deadhead, or is inconsiderate of others, or is dangerous to society, and that said idea is just plain wrong. Sure there are potheads who are oblivious to others around them, and wrongly so, but just as true there are many non-pot smokers that are just as useless and oblivious to their impact on others. My issue is simply labeling the cannabis users as the scourge of society rather than just singling out the person that is a jerk and acknowledging that some of us can use it and be good, hard working people, and in fact that describes the vast majority of us.

The sky is falling the sky is falling. OMG the smell how will I live. Think of the children! Surely this will lead to legal human/horse marriages and a total collapse of society.

no kidding.

my point is, maybe it's better to talk about pot in a slightly more responsible manner, like we do when we post on responsible firearms use.

even if there is one member on ao who is under 18, shouldn't we be more responsible in our posts.

And I'm done in this thread. I learned many years ago while working in bars there is no reasoning with drunks. Guess i forgot that one. Done beating my head against the wall here.

I dont smoke.

When I walk down the street with my kids and there is someone smoking, I just move to the side a few feet so we dont have to smell it and then get on with our day.

Gotta love the term "Potheads" being used by some in here to describe anyone who uses it.

I guess it's ok then to use "Alcoholic" when referring to anyone who drinks.

I had no idea so many got their marijuana facts from this enlightening source.

Hahahah, really ? I literally don’t know when I’ve been close enough to be coughing from second hand smoke! Tell the guys blowing it directly on you to cut it out ! And “no” driving after these occurrences please. Also what’s with your wording like “offender” and “my airspace” its legal and ownership of airspace is a tough proposition........move !

I agree that some kids and even adults can react in odd ways when high but just in fun....

I can see it now on CBC national news.... "Since the legalization of marijuana a young Alberta man in a stoned state discovers he is a moose whisperer. Locals call the man Dolittle because he is usually stoned and does little. But now he works full time for the government talking to moose about staying out of Calgary. He seems to be doing a good job. When's the last time you saw a moose in downtown Calgary? Back to you Ed."

Hmm. A kid thinking a moose can talk and the kid talks back to the moose? It's been done.

Fact, is, alcohol breaks up families, can be very addictive, destroys lives, is a major cause of accidents, kills those who drink to excess, causes violent behavior and poor decision making with many people.
It is legal though and is fine in moderation, something many struggle with.

Fact is, I've never heard of a family breaking up over marijuana, it's not addictive but can be habit forming. Very few stats on it being the cause of major accidents, unlike alcohol. Does not kill people other than potentially from lung or other cancers if smoked. Does not cause violent behavior and if anything, the opposite. Poor decision making, maybe.

I've never seen anyone fall over drunk on cannabis or have an embarrassing projectile vomiting session. Fall asleep, sure but no worries of them drowning in their own puke.

It's medicinal use has proven very valuable and without substitute for many people. Recreational use is an order of magnitude or 6 better and safer than alcohol use and get this, it's legal!

No more than trees smell like burned trees. Well ...maybe a little more.
