What does the odor of marijuana smell like?

Question

What does the odor of marijuana smell like? I have never smoked marijuana in my life nor have I ever seen anybody smoke marijuana, I know that the smell of cigarettes is awful and unbearable.

Answer 1

It's impossible to describe because there are thousands of strains of marijuana, and different strains have different smells. For the most part though, marijuana has a unique "thumbprint" to it.

I can't really describe it, but when people say it smells like skunk, that's probably the closest they can get to it iwth actual words, and they're really talking about how it smells BEFORE it's smoked.

It's like trying to tell someone who doesn't know what fresh-baked cookies smell like what fresh-baked cookies smells like. You just know.

Basically, marijuana has no smell that I can relate to something most people would be familiar with. It's distinct. It DOES NOT smell like tobacco though. It smells wonderful :D

If I could put it into words, it would be an oily herb smell. It lingers more than tobacco smoke in the air, and you'll know immediately that you're not smelling tobacco. Of course, we're talking about SMOKED marijuana, and not cured or fresh marijuana, which has hundreds of thousands of unique, unknown words to describe it (think of wine, and how many ways there are to describe the smell).

The word "pungent" comes to mind, and that relates back to what I was saying about smelling like skunk. It's not naseaous like skunk, but it's a word used by smokers to describe both the bud (marijuana flower) and smell, so what they really mean is pungent.

Some smell spicy, some like citrus, some like flowers, some have earth metal overtones, some like dirt, some smell like grass, some like burnt popcorn, some like fresh-mowed grass, etc.

Basically, it's like nothing you have EVER smelled before.

I am encountering it more and more on public buses when young guys enter. It smells " foxy" a rather awful smell. I have smelled skunk and it is not a skunk smell. Another way to describe it is the smell of someone who has not had a bowel movement in some time. An awful smell.
It is becoming more common in public areas from body and clothing smells because Montgomery county MD is close to DC which has recently legalized marijuana.

Musky sweat odor. If THC sweated out you'd smell it anytime you get hot and sweaty. Fasting would not make this happen. I believe that it is the mind playing tricks and people joking about a skunk smell. Just joined Y!A - first question - I smell something but it is not MJ.

If you've ever smelled burnt sage it smells like that mixed with the smell of skunk but without the undertone of a nausea inducing fart smell. Instead the undertone is sweet. Before it's smoked it smells crisp and sharp and after it smells sort of heavy and definitely pungent. Nothing except pot smells like pot.

Like a skunky smell. But it doesn't smell bad. If you drove into Oregon from Washington, you'll understand.

Answer 9

I don't know about skunk smell, but to me, it definitely smells like when I am really sick with the flu with a hint of sweet sugar. I don't like it at all.

Answer 10

If it's anything good, it'll smell like freshly released skunk funk with a lemony or tint smell with it.

Answer 11

It smells awful closest to skunk smell. It is so overpowering that I have to get away from the people that are going to smoke it.
