Why Would Anyone Want To Smell Like A Skunk

In other words, why does cannabis smell so much like skunk spray? It turns out, the stinky culprits in both substances belong to a family of prenylated volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), a subset of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), according to a 2021 study published in the journal ACS Omega.

Okay, and why would anyone want to smell like a skunk? I am serious!

What is wrong with smelling like a skunk, you don't even notice once you are high.

And what about smoking something that smells like a skunk, that thought makes me delirious!

You adjust and you aren't going to die.

Then what about paying 350 for an ounce?

I know, I know, it was 35.00 in your day.

It was $20-25 an ounce in my yesterday.

Is this going to take long? I have to bounce!

Okay, but what is the sense?

It takes zero brains to figure out. You could be dense?

Driving through the neighboring town smelling skunk, and not knowing if it is real skunk or MJ.

Why does it matter to you anyway?

I am just so much more aware after smelling it at my in-laws house.

Could you smell it in her blouse?

I wasn't smelling her blouse, it was the whole house!

Hehehehe

Then walking behind a guy at the Gopher State roundup and he

smelled just like a skunk, oh me!

I have had enough experiences now that I just want to know Boo

Well you have any for me to try to see what I can tell you?

Hell no!

Time to go!

As my poem is at an end here are two author notes:

Authors Note 1: My son wouldn't have this conversation with me as he couldn't defend smelling like a skunk! He doesn't like that smell either.

Authors Note 2: So, I had to hear an explanation and this is the one I found from Copilot (An AI conversation?? Kind of. Is AI illegal for entries into challenges? If so, please erase.):

Copilot - The preference for smoking marijuana with a “skunk” smell can vary among individuals. Some reasons include:

Okay, let me have them, Dude

Copilot - Cultural Associations: For some people, the skunky aroma is associated with the authenticity and potency of the strain. They may believe that a strong smell indicates higher quality or better effects.

The quality I wouldn't know but the strong smell is the sickness in me it affects.

Copilot - Personal Taste: Just like some people enjoy strong cheeses or pungent spices, certain individuals appreciate the unique scent of skunky marijuana. It’s a matter of personal preference.

Appreciation of the unique scent or a lack of brilliance?

Copilot - Desired Effects: Different strains of marijuana have distinct terpene profiles, which contribute to their smell. Some users seek specific effects (e.g., relaxation, creativity, pain relief) associated with particular strains, regardless of the smell.

I understand pain relief, and it makes no sense to me to smell like a skunk and feel sick to be pain-free and not well.

Copilot - Nostalgia: Smelling skunky marijuana might evoke memories or feelings associated with past experiences. Nostalgia can play a powerful role in our preferences.

I get memories of the past, but how can skunk smell bring back nostalgia, for me it would bring back getting sick from the smell, I'd much rather have different nostalgic references.

Copilot - Social Context: Marijuana use is often social. Sharing a joint with friends, especially if it has a recognizable smell, can be part of the experience.

Is this like peer pressure too? The smell would have me turning the other way, and who could blame me for making some distance?

Copilot - Ultimately, it’s subjective, and what smells unpleasant to one person may be appealing to another!

Okay, well enough, I am the other!
