Spent holiday weekend in MI. Rented car and 2 out of 3 cars smelled like...

Losartan would occasionally make me dizzy. Like when I quickly stood up. That was another reason I wanted to stop taking it. Luckily I was able to get my BP back in a normal range. Those who can't really should be on meds because hypertension will eventually kill you. Some of it is genetics and for many people there's nothing you can do to get cholesterol or hypertension under control without meds.

My point was that with a little effort and a few months time, you can figure out if you need meds or not. I was lucky. I'm not afraid to eat a Big Mac or the Grand Slam at Dennys every now and then. But on a daily basis I am very aware now of what I should or should not be eating.

Tenant ordered to stop smoking weed after neighbor wins landmark case

The 76-year-old woman said she hated coming home due to a 'fear of smelling marijuana smoke,' per court documents. She became 'violently sick' within minutes 'each time' her neighbor smoked.

Not all weed smells that bad. People by the “skunk” stuff to show out IMO. There’s all flavors of fruit and sweets that aren’t bad. We have grown CBD varieties like blueberry and it smells like berries. We are trying apple pie this yr. We make tincture, oil infusions and cream. I agree that skunk weed reeks to high heaven. I don’t know why anyone would want to smoke that crap and have their clothes and house smell like a skunk when there are hundreds of strains to choose from. Gross.

Being single, I order a bunch of doordash and instsacart. Occasionally there will be a weed smell, which is ok, but I would rather have no foreign/non food smell. Weed smell though is far better than when the delivery driver sprays cologne or perfume directly on the bags to cover up the smell of weed.
I've never complained about weed smell, but when I smell perfume/cologne on my food, I freak TF out. And I'm not talking about a faint scent of perfume --they spray it directly on my bag of food, to where I can smell/taste it on my food if from a restaurant.. or if groceries, I have to wash off each product in the bag.

Call me crazy, but I want my food to smell like the food it is. Not like weed. Not like perfume. Not like gasoline. Not like farts.

That said, I have never ordered from those delivery services (and never would).

 

[Dave]

I wouldn't want the strong smell of weed in a rental either, but I find strong human fragrance more offensive, especially on food.

Haha, I replied before seeing this post.
But yeah, Ideally, I want no foreign smell on my food, but between the two, strong human fragrance isn't happening without complaint.

Are you serious that they are spraying perfume on your FOOD???? I'd call that attempted poisoning.

I do not "get" at all why people use those food delivery services. I really really don't get it. Unless I'm an invalid, I don't get it.

Dead serious, man, and it's strong -sprayed directly on the bag. It doesn't happen often, but when it does happen from a restaurant I get my money back.
When a grocery store does it, I just complain and wash the stuff off.

Have you considered going out and getting your own food / groceries? Yeah... crazy idea, eh?

 

[Dave]

Don't you have a kid that had cancer? Have you considered that other people, outside of you, have different life situations?
Yours is not a "crazy idea", but is a very inconsiderate and simple thinking one, dude.

All this stuff became prevalent during Covid. Weenies afraid to go out because of Fauxrona! Laziness because a virtue because it allowed workers to make some extra money. Same goes for the "bring your shit out to the car" grocery service. IDGAF because I prefer to choose my own food esp. produce. BUT I used to like shopping after hours and no grocery store is open late any more. One more reason WM sucks!
And don't get me started on fucking E-bikes everywhere now!

I have most of my groceries delivered. The exception being when I can get locally grown vegetables and fruit. Time is money. I also find that I don't impulse buy shit I don't need. Junk food type stuff. I am a person of lists. I plan meals and buy what I need.

I do most of the cooking. My wife can't cook for shit and I enjoy doing it.

On the other hand, I don't get prepared/takeout food delivered. I don't trust the drivers to not fuck with the food and it is an hour old before it gets to you.

I make my own pizza, never order out. I have a pizza oven. My pizza is way better. Most of the ingredients I use are imported from Italy. Occasionally I will order Chinese and go pick it up myself. But not often. That shit is bad for you. I like Indian cuisine and make my own with spices I order online. I use rice a lot and only order US grown. Louisiana.

Most of my meat comes once a month in a big box from Riverbend Ranch. Their meat comes from Wyoming and Montana and their cattle graze as cattle should, also not loaded with chemicals and drugs. I also use a local butcher for special cuts, the occasional fresh turkey. I buy a full tenderloin at Costco now and then.

I don't drink much these days but, most liquor or wine I buy is delivered. The state ABC stores have a decent selection but seldom what I prefer. Especially scotch and bourbon. I belong to a wine 'club' that ships to me six times a year.

Dog food gets delivered once a month. Worth every penny. No grocery store kibbles.

I never go shopping. Everything comes from Amazon, Target, Home Despot, Lowes, or WalMart. Shipped to my door.

I was being a bit facetious... joking around. I thought it was obvious. But apparently not. OK.... To be clear... I was being facetious. I should have added a I did put the there, thinking that would be enough of a hint.

I just went back and added a big wink gif.

Alrighty then... But they're spraying your food with cologne! That is so bizarre. I've never heard of anything like that.

I call Karen here. Come on. She feels ill and dizzy because a next door neighbor is smoking weed? Get the fuck out of here.

Now... I don't want to live next door to a pothead stoner either but this sounds like the airline passenger who says she becomes ill when somebody 20 seats away opened a package of peanuts.

I have lived in apartment and condo buildings in DC that didn't allow any type of smoking inside the building. I thought most of them had that rule. I'm surprised this ended up in a courtroom. Mrs Kravitz v. Spicoli

I had bitchy, grumpy old people for neighbors a few times. When being polite didn't work I just told them to fuck off or stared at them like I was nuts.

She won. And that helps establish precedent.

I sure as hell wouldn't want to smell that shit in my home. As per the OP, I wouldn't accept a rental car that reeked of it. Twice.

Karens often do. In a DC court? No big surprise.

Ever notice that people who have a problem with something someone is doing also have a problem with lots of things other people do.

To be fair... a lot of stoners swear pot is 'medicinal'. It's not medicinal. You are just high and masking symptoms. I don't care if people want to be high all day. Just don't blow that 'It's medicine' smoke up my ass. They like to be stoned. Like why a drunk drinks.

The Caddyshack meme cracked me up.

I agree. Medications have a specific dosage. Medications have known therapeutic levels and effects. Medications have known (and published) indications, contraindications, black box warnings, drug interactions, etc. Weed has literally none of those things.

Feeling better (masking symptoms) is NOT "medical."

 

[Bobster]

As a libertarian, I believe if someone wants to do something that doesn't affect me or others, I'm fine with it. If you want to smoke or vape on your back patio and maybe I catch a whiff once in a while? NBD. If you smoke or vape in an elevator with me? I'm going to karen (is that even a verb now? ) your ass out the door!

The smell of ganga "everywhere" is getting old. Doesn't anyone know what breath mints are? And the smell travels. I'm at an ATM getting some cash and I can smell pot. I look around and there is a couple smoking a joint at a bus stop across the street, across a parking lot, 2 sidewalks and 5 lanes of traffic--maybe 150'?

There are a LOT of legitimate benefits of CBD. We keep CBD tincture here- so effective for muscle pains, etc. But THC has NO beneficial effect except to take away nausea, which it does so well and is why Chemo/Radiation patients will take it. I have no problem with that as its far better than Big Pharma crap.. The other THC proponents only want the intoxication from THC.

Being a musician, I came from a world surrounded with it....now I can't stand the smell of it. Usually you can smell skunk weed 6 cars away in traffic...

Back in the day,,, 40 years ago weed smelled only one way.... This shit they smoke nowadays is so repulsive,,,, I live near Memphis and the smell is ALWAYS around,,, red lights, drive-ins, gas stations, hell... even the employee parking lots have the foggy cloud drifting by... yuck
