Do you think that the thread needs to smoke a reefer?
Just you.

I'm taking a guess that the vast majority of people who have replied to this thread have at least tried it.  I can't say I care for it myself, but at least I've tried it enough to know why.

Stings the nostrils!

I have an interesting take on skunk smell.  When I first moved to CA, every morning I would smell skunk in the air.  But after a while I did not really notice it anymore.  I didn't ever notice the smell again until I had been away from CA for a long time.  When I came back, I was smelling it again.  So I guess you can tell if you are a non native CA person, if you notice transient skunk smell.  You would probably only notice the smell if there was a skunk that was run over and killed nearby.

My wife's uncle has that skunky smell you describe.  He's a nice guy and he doesn't smoke weed at my house, but it is hard not to notice.  My wife has never picked up on it, I suspect she is smell blinded.

Are you saying that reefer has a skunk smell when it burns?

Or just that he needs to take a shower before any social event?

I picked up "reefer" in the 1970s. I didn't realize it had been retired from active duty.

The world wonders whether you know the significance of the phrase "the world wonders."

I didn't realize "cannabis" had been retired from active duty, but you keep insisting that we leave it out of our vocabulary for some reason.

What if it has been over 50 years since he may (repeat may) have noticed that?

My high school had a lot of that kind of thing going on and the cops raided the place a number of times.

And this wasn't in some shady place.

It was what we commonly called the Country Club on King Street.
Actually coined by students from neighboring rival schools,

I think the aroma is caked into his pores and his clothes.  I've been around him at places like weddings and he still smells like weed.

Cigaret smokers often that cigaret smell even when they don't have one in their mouth.

Yes, my grandma on my mom's side had an almost constant menthol stench.

I tried both when I was younger.  I thought most tobacco was gross and wasn't dissuaded from that notion from gifted high school cigarettes.  Marijuana was all the rage with people I knew but all it ever did for was make me paranoid.  I much prefer a nice alcoholic beverage versus the high of marijuana.

I don't smoke, I just used edibles but have been off them since I have been searching for a job. Smoking would probably seriously set off my asthma.

I've had a pretty hateful attitude toward the tobacco industry since I was a kid. My grandfather on my mother's side died of lung cancer when I was 10 years old. And I've had it in for the tobacco industry ever since. I mean seriously: fuck that industry. This nation would probably be money ahead if it didn't exist.

My grandfather taught me and my brother how to ride motocross dirt bikes when we were still in elementary school. We had only been riding regular bicycles for a couple or so years. He didn't treat us like we were fragile little babies. I wish we had been able to visit more. My dad was in the Marine Corps, so I usually only saw my grandparents when my dad was on leave or if we were moving. The lung cancer my grandfather developed was pretty aggressive. The last time I saw my grandfather we were fixing to move from Arizona to our next duty station in Japan. The doctors had removed my grandfather's left lung. But the cancer had spread. He died only a couple months later after we had unpacked in Japan. My mother couldn't get a flight back home to attend his funeral. She didn't get to see his grave until 3 years later when we moved back to the states.

Both of my parents were avid smokers. I hated it, especially when we were driving. My mother would be flicking her cigarette ashes out the window; every now and then the ashes would blow into the back seat at me or my brother. I caught a flaming "cherry" in my eye one time. Under the eye lid. Anyway, when my parents saw how my grandfather looked after having a lung removed they both quit smoking cold turkey. There wasn't any nicotine patches or gum back then either.

I'm mom got lung cancer after 42 years of smoking.  Considering she was up to a pack a day by the early 1990s I'm kind of surprised it took until 2014 to get sick.

Then again, my dad never smoked or drank but died of complications related brain cancer anyways in 2009.  I guess being a complete tea toddler didn't work out for him.

To expound upon things with my dad he was very much against tobacco use and alcohol consumption.  He kind of tolerated tobacco use by others to some extent given it was something most adults engaged in back in the Midwest during the 1980s/1990s era.  Most times my mom smoked around him it would lead to a snide comment.  He was pretty insistent she needed to smoke outside which was rare back in the 1980s.

My dad's issue with alcohol stemmed from my grandpa who was a functional alcoholic.  My grandpa was kind of an asshole when he was drunk but to my knowledge never did anything violent.  My siblings and I would often hide how much we drank from my dad even as adults.  We did this to avoid unnecessary lectures about how alcoholism ran in the family.

To my knowledge the only other family member of mine who I'm aware of who even occasionally used marijuana was my older brother.  I only ever saw him occasionally smoke a joint or two.  He later had some issues with cocaine The which tied more into the party lifestyle he was into for a long time.
