Why hasn’t capitalism solved this problem? My dad used to smoke a pipe, and a lot of time was spent going to the tobacco shop and selecting different tobaccos that tasted and smelled good (well, maybe not good, but at least not terrible). I remember one that was “black cherry” and smelled more like a comforting campfire.

I’d like to have scented pot - not poop scented but vanilla, lavender, cinnamon, etc.

In some neighborhoods the scent is so strong, it’s hard to believe it’s from people smoking. Is it maybe grow facilities instead? either individual or commercial?

Honestly, I’d like to buy a house in downtown DC but I hesitate because I’d be bummed if my neighborhood, yard or home smelled like pot all the time.

It's no fun if you can't annoy others with your favorite activity.

This is every city now. Seattle, San Francisco, NYC, Philly, Chicago, Baltimore. All the same, weed smoke everywhere

Capitalism hasn't solved the "problem" because there is no actual problem. At least not enough of one to support its own industry.

Despite the constant ravings of a handful of serial posting crazy people on this website, 99.999% of Americans don't lose their mind because they had to smell something mildly unpleasant to them for a few seconds.

It covers the smell from the White House, so I welcome it.

No one has lost their mind - stop exaggerating. And it’s not “something mildly offensive” that goes away in a few seconds. A few weeks ago, I got on the Georgia Ave metro bus at Howard University Hospital and the smell of Marijuana was so overpowering it made me nauseous and I had to get off after only a few stops and take an Uber instead. Sometimes I have been helped by a service person who smells so strongly of weed that it makes me nauseous. I’ve walked through Petworth neighborhood at times when the smell has been persistent for blocks. Same with Florida and North Capitol. I really don’t understand how a smell can be so persistent outside for such a distance?

I have no problem with weed, although I do think that there is not enough scientific study about health effects and we will find out eventually that it’s not as innocuous in terms of health as people think. But, alcohol use is also problematic in terms of health, so no reason to treat weed differently. I support decriminalization and legalization and regulation as a product so people know what they are getting.

TBH, I feel the same way about cigarette smoke, which although it doesn’t smell like poop, still smells bad and is offensive when it’s so pervasive it ruins enjoyment of a place or person. I was relieved when cigarettes became an outdoor only thing.

I think you are dismissing this as “weed derangement syndrome” because you want to think that people aren’t grossed out by your smell after smoking pot. You want to think it’s only a few crazy people who notice and are grossed out.

The absolute irony of telling someone to "stop exaggerating" and then in the very next sentence claim the residual smell of pot caused you to be so ill you have to leave a bus.

If that's actually true you need to schedule a doctor visit ASAP. That is not normal and there is likely something seriously wrong with you because healthy people don't get that nauseous from smoking pot much less smelling a tiny bit of it on someone's jacket.
