Sounds stupid, probably is a stupid question but I will still will ask.

because I know only one person that lives with his girlfriend who is a pothead and he is not. It didnt bother him before living together, but the constant smell in the house and on her body is starting to drive him nuts.

For the nonpotheads like me, doesnt the smell repulse you if you are dating a pothead? Most of the pot Ive smelt from others smoking smells like someone hasnt wiped their butt in day.

To me, if I was going to live with a pothead she would have to do it outside and not inside. If it looks like we may be going in the direction of knocking boots, and she had smoked pot earlier, then she would need to put on some perfume and pop a breathmint

Because that smell is overwhelming and a turn off to me if i am going to do the deed with someone

If someone I am dating cant compromise just doing that, I dont think I could hang living with them

Was wondering if any other non potheads are the same or different when it comes dating to tokers

That's what I feel too. If you want to do pot in the house why not just do edibles?

There is still a little bit of smell but it doesnt make you want to deodorize the room like a mad person.

I'm sorry to the potheads that smoke in house but it smells nasty. That is fine if you live alone, but if a boyfriend or girlfriend is living with you that doesnt smoke, I think doing edibles instead is a good compromise.

I feel like potheads have been smoking for so long they forget how nasty it smells kind of like with cigarette smokers

Ironically enough, I had a friend quit weed as they were focused on getting in shape. They had been off weed for like 2 months I think when they smelt it from someone else

And he was like "I forgot how bad that s--t smells man, no wonder you cant stand the smell How could I go smelling like that outside before? Good god!"

I just died laughing.

Meh, Mr Aqua does it in the garage. I used to smoke but quit decades ago. In fact, that's how we met. His weed is skunky and the funny thing is that he grosses out if he smells a real skunk but the bud doesn't bother him.

He smokes daily but I only smell it right after he's done it and I sometimes give him shit for it, but he complains about my menthol vape so I guess we're even.

I'm a non-alcoholic non-drinker and usually wind up living with heavy drinkers. I don't tell them how to live their fuocking lives and I'll be damned if they try to tell me what I can or cannot do.

Granted, I am licensed to use marijuana medicinally. Even before I could use it legally, though, I feel like it would be out of line for someone to tell me to stop smoking pot. I'm Jamaican, I'm an independent adult and I'm not hurting anybody else nor doing myself any harm by lighting up.

It’s funny bc the smells can be so different depending on what they are smoking. I haven’t been partaking for a couple of months now, and I finally quit cigarettes so my sense of smell is on turbo rn! I quite like most of the smells but some are not as pleasant. My ex’s favs to smoke were the ones that “smell like fresh dog doo” lol. Those are great feeling ones but the smell is obviously not pleasant to other non-smokers oftentimes. I’m a very considerate smoker but not everyone is. As long as someone blows the smoke out the window, I don’t mind it in the house. But don’t you dare smoke a cigarette in my home, that shit sticks. I think about the smells a lot but some people just don’t think. Crazy as it sounds, but you have to point that shit out to some people. Especially when you smoke a lot, you don’t notice the smell as much so you assume it isn’t that bad. Theres a polite way to remind people about the smell, whether it’s on the breath or otherwise. I’m just a fan of being politely direct.

Given that smoking marijuana has a high amount of carcinogens and THC, I wonder why people dont just do edibles completely.

Not that edibles are much better health-wise but at least the damage to the lungs is less.

The thing I dont think people understand with marijuana is that is supposed to be used in moderation, and not all the time. That applies to people that care about their health long term.

If you are using a high amount of it, pot can cause heart problems as well. There are potheads that use in moderation, but i feel there are twice as many people who do it in excess however

Plus, if you are smoking it, smoking is one of the factors that can cause people's hair to go gray prematurely. But again, if being gray at 30 is something that doesnt bother you, then rock on.

There may be a lot of positives with marijuana but its important to acknowledge the negatives which can sometimes be deadly

This is incorrect. There is no carcinogens in herb.

And there are tons of wraps readily available out there that have no tobacco and are 100% safe.

Idk why you think edibles are bad for your health either...

You seem to have some weird ronald regan era views on herb.

Herb doesn't cause heart problems or graying.

Herb has both thc and cbd and cbd is known to help heart function. So ironically your info here is a little backwards. Currently they are treating some covid patients with cbd (helps with inflammation) and having great results as well. I'm eager to see how that evolves.

Sure if you smoke 5 blunts a day for a year straight, you might get a mild case of bronchitis.

Most people smoke the odd blunt now and then. But typically herb is consumed in a piece or bong. With a bong the hot smoke hits the water, helps filter and cool the smoke. We like to add ice cubes so the smoke comes out cool. Also the herb burn is slower and your product lasts longer.

There are also vapes, wax, oils, shatter, edibles, etc.

$ 10 on amazon

Take it from a daily partaker who coexists with an asthmatic.

We have one of those. It really does work, although we rarely need to use it.

its legit the best. So glad they have this. Back in the day we would use a empty toilet roll (cardboard piece) stuffed with dryer sheets.

I use the smoke buddy when I'm in bed hitting the bong. He's literally 1' away and it doesn't bother him. He's super sensitive to smells too, can't even use febreeze

Haha! We used to do the toilet paper roll with the dryer sheets. The filter is so good you can use it in a hotel room with smoke detectors. You can probably use it in a airplane toilet, even, but I wouldn't risk it.

Also eating citrus after you smoke pretty much covers any scent as well. Breathe wise

Used to leave studio class in college smoke with my buddy and we'd eat mandarin oranges on the walk back.

Same people I sat next to act shocked when they found out I consume the herbage.

I have to think that the repeated exposure to the heat is not really good, but studies continue to show that it doesn't have the relationship to lung disease and cancer that cigarette smoking has. Most yoga instructors I know are potheads. They do their pranayama just fine.

I'm trying to switch to vaping just in case, but I don't like it as much.

I find it hard to believe that any type of smoke taken into the lungs isnt harmless. Its good you’re switching.

Any type of smoke inhalation will cause cellular degeneration.

There might not be carcinogens in herb itself, depending on your supplier (that’s a whole nother convo) but the actual smoke itself is carcinogenic.

Hell you can light up broccoli and the smoke will turn it carcinogenic.
