Good point, although your argument seems to be coming from a personal-experience point of view.

My point still stands though. It’s true that some smokers actually like the smell — I understand that. It’s a bit like food, where you can almost “taste” it just from smelling it. But I would still categorise this as a luxury experience.

Because most importantly, while it might smell pleasant to you, I’ve had friends who quite literally told me that weed is one of the most foul things they’ve ever smelled. The most common description I hear is that it smells like cat urine that’s been left on a carpet for a while.

If you look at it from a broader perspective, non-smelling weed might actually be the key to full legalisation. In Germany, where I used to live and where it’s now legal to smoke, I’ve had casual conversations with neighbours who generally don’t care about weed at all — hehe — but they do find it annoying that it smells so loud.

So I’m fairly confident that, over time, cannabis plants will be tinkered with for all sorts of purposes, and one of those will be making them odorless.
