I mean weed really doesn't smell good. If you're not turned off by the smell, it's a learned pleasure. Similar to how nearly every child will dislike the taste of alcohol, yet after drinking for a while they'll learn to tolerate or enjoy it.

It can be a very overpowering smell. When an odor overpowers, it's harder to discern one scent from another.

For me it's was love at first smell. And I didn't smoke. Just smelled it from th adjecent room. It must be genetic.

Alcohol is always dreadful for me. Same goes for cigarettes.

there are strains that, to me, smell pleasant. maybe you’re extrapolating a bit? terpenes are what make up most essential oils, in fact.

I’ve never smelled pot that didn’t stink. It does not smell like a sewer to me but it distinctly smells like skunk.

		A few years ago, I moved from San Francisco to a rural area. Smelling weed in SF was not at all unusual. One summer night in the rural area, I smelled it coming through open windows for the first time. I wondered which house it was coming from and how it still smelled so strong after traveling a hundred feet or more. Then I spotted the actual skunk in our yard.

Mango, especially dried, smells and tastes of terpenes sometimes. I sometimes question why I like Mango ;)

most essential oils also smell bad in their pure form, you can always sense a smoker or a big essential oils person from their scent from afar
