I once did a walking tour of downtown Chicago. Every now and then I’d smelled something skunky and attributed it to maybe garbage or a smell wafting up from a sewer. Nope, it was from folks blazing up in the Loop. Confirmed by a scent emanating from a down-the-hall neighbor.
Once at work early Sunday morning the scent coming over the fence from apartment parking lot, co-worker mentioned they probably needed to take the edge off before church. Bake and pray.
Never really got the comparison myself. I mean, I suppose it does sort of smell “skunky”, but as someone who grew up with families of skunks living all around the area, the smells are not the same. It was very clear the aroma on the air was either a skunk ready to mate, road kill, or my elkhound when he would come back to the house after trying to play tag with that little black “kitty” with the white stripe down its back, rather than the neighbor boy sneaking out to the woods to blaze up without his parents finding out.
I recently found out that the cause for a similar smell (to me it smelled like weasel) at a nearby intersection. It was caused by a nearby marijuana processing plant.
I live in a state where medicinal marijuana is legal and have a grow facility next door to us. The air smells like skunk all the time and we hate it. The government let them do this in a residential area.

That is my whole neighborhood from the parolee apartments to the little house down the street. If I walk the block, I get secondary.
Can’t they take it to the hookah bar on the corner between theThai Massage and the Smoke Shop near the junior high?

I thought my 80 year old neighbor was smoking a joint, but it actually turned out to be skunk.

You should drive thru the middle of Beaumont at 5:00. I have to keep the windows rolled up and recirc on just to prevent a contact high.
