Weird. Marijuana has an iconic, skunk-like / rotten bologna smell to me. I can smell someone smoking up to maybe 500 feet away, sometimes from the inside of my car. It's a deeply repugnant smell.

The strange thing being, I've smelled the actual flowers and the plant up close, and it just smells like grass. It only smells like shit when it's burning, oddly enough.

No idea why. Everything about the "natural smell" up close screams "this is a plant and can't harm you in any way shape or form". That specific experience made me in favor of decriminalization.

You should be able to smell a female plant in full (oily) bloom. I've read that smell is one of the problems that illegal farms/grow box owners have when tyring to stay undetected.
