If your grass smells of sausages I'd change dealers.

Lol.

I meant t'other way 'round.

I do laps around my local park every now and then. There's a bloke in a souped up VW Golf who must smoke a fair bit of weed, while i'm up there for about an hour. When i pass his parked car on some laps it's very potent, some laps i can't smell it.
There's also a few spots on my local ride where i can smell it very clearly. I always wonder what'd happen if the plod were to drive by with their car windows open.
I quite like the smell by the way. If skunks smell like that then i don't know what all the fuss is about!:scratch:

Back in the day i lived with a few blokes, one of whom was selling skunk briefly. Wrapped in 12 plastic bags and left in the fridge the aroma permeated the butter in the fridge. Smothered my toast in it one morning, bloody worst thing ever.

(Edit - not sure what that has to do with smelling it when riding, but c'est la vie)

Perhaps they go undetected? Maybe routine dope testing is not as widespread as alcohol testing after an RTA. I'm just guessing, BTW.
You would think that attending offices might notice an aroma. I cannot belive that everyone in the emergency services are anosmic. Somebody must smell something, surely.

Would a routine blood test, when someone is carted off to A&E, having wrapped their car around a lampost, pick up anything? I'm asking as I don't know, having never smoked dope while driving.
I did try a puff once, at Uni. It gave me a headache and then I threw up. I don't smoke, so maybe that was why. It wasn't an experiment that I had a mind to repeat.

Anosmic! Thats a new word for me. Thank you @Saluki. Dope smoke may smell to high heaven, but I don't know if it lingers on the breath like booze does. Maybe that's why dope RTAs are not widely detected. Any experts round here?

My Grandfather was anosmic so it was a word/term that I grew up with.
Smoke smell clings - is that the right word - to clothing so I thought that dope smoke would do the same. Isn't that why people used patchouli oil on their clothing, to mask the smell.

I was a little kid in the Sixties and always thought that older girls wearing patchouli were hopelessly desirable and exotic. I get an impossible blast of nostalgia on the rare occasions I get a whiff of it today.:smile:

It's a bit more complicated than that...

I'm no expert, but I understood that unlike alcohol (which is processed quickly by the body) most "street" drugs linger in the body for a quite a long time. So it's very difficult to develop a test for current intoxication, and very easy to develop a test for having indulged at some stage over the last few weeks.

Id worry more about the drivers on speed. Very common in the kinds of professions that would be driving big vans and trucks.

But why worry about one type of driver when you need to worry about them all?
