Posted: 17:55 - 15 Oct 2017 Post subject: Riding and the sweet smell of fresh... ...weed? Wait. What? |
|
|
One of the many benefits of riding a bike is having your senses more closely connected to the world around you, particularly the sense of smell.
Being able to smell the rain on a hot day before you suddenly ride into it. The aroma of cooking, whether it be BBQs as you ride down a residential road in summer or restaurants in parts of town. Or the smell of Castrol when you follow the rare 2-smoke these days.
Over the years I've occasionally caught a whiff of marijuana as I've commuted in and out of town. Sometimes I suspect it's been farms hidden away in houses, especially when I've noticed it in the same place over a period of time. However it would sometimes become obvious it was coming from a car up ahead.
Older BMW?
Dark tinted windows open a little at the top?
Four relaxed looking gentlemen in the car?
So far so stereotypical.
But what's weird is a sudden and profound increase in weed smokers in cars. This year I've been noticing it more and more, until in the last few weeks it's become a daily thing. Even in the morning?
What's going on?
Anyone else noticed? ____________________ 2007 CBF1000-ABS - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |

The smell of weed being smoked is different to the smell of weed that's growing. |

Of course people smoke weed in cars. Most cupholders won't hold a pint glass. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Same, I’ve noticed it’s more like 2/3 times per commute now as opposed to every other day 3/4 years ago. ____________________ 1993 RF400R - 2002 Bandit 1200 - 2012 1250 FA |

When I go greenlaning, there's a field I ride past that sticks of weed. I've tried finding it but wasn't successful unfortunately
No idea if it's a crop they're growing that smells similar. ____________________ DRZ400-SM

There was a widespread smell in North Somerset recently which was rumoured to be a massive cannabis farm. You could smell it for miles.
Turned out to be Ribena (or more accurately blackcurrants). ____________________ 1993 Kawasaki AR50 (In bits) - 1984 Suzuki GP125 (Sold, but still ridden) - 1954 Matchless G3L (Being restored) - 2007 Suzuki Bandit 650 |

I followed a liveried van into a supermarket carpark the other week... vast amounts of weed being smoked inside...
when i'd finished my shop - he was still in the carpark, still smoking but also doing a good trade with lots of people walking up to him for a quick chat...
I rang his company and grassed him up. (pun intended) Do what you like, but not when driving the works van, you spaz...
Does that make me a self-righteous cnut? *shrugs* ____________________ CBT - Oct 13. Theory - July 14. Mod 1 & 2 - June 15.

Very common riding out of town along the A13 car park most evenings. Often playing the 'phoned or stoned' guessing game when you see someone weaving oddly. ____________________ Beginner Biker Adventures Blog

The vaping is a good point. Often it's sweet smells, sort of toffee-like or vanilla, but what's the point of cannabis scented vape? All the risk of attention, but none of the benefits? ____________________ 2007 CBF1000-ABS - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |
