Why wasn't I invited to this party?

[Dave1982]

So I walked into the men's room today (always a good start to a story, right?) and got slapped in the face by a very strong smell.

Except it wasn't a smell one would typically associate with a men's room in a retail store.

No....it smelled STRONGLY of weed. Not weed smoke, but unsmoked weed.

(What? Hey, I went to college, so yeah, I know what it smells like )

Harry - one of the full-timers - walked in.

Me: Harry, is it just me or does it smell like weed in here?

Harry: I can't smell much of anything these days, but yeah, it kinda does.

I walked out of the bathroom, took a few breaths to clear out my nose, and walked back in.

Yep, it definitely smelled like weed. So much so that I did a quick search to see if someone might've dumped their stash or something. i didn't find anything.

And you know what? Two hours later it STILL smelled like weed in there!

Truly bizarre.

[Dave1982]

No, of course not. On the clock, IN the store, and in the bathroom? Hell no.

"Why wasn't I invited?" was meant as a rhetorical question.

[Sheldonrs]

I guess it's better than walking into the bathroom and smelling crack.

[Andara Bledin]

Did you check places like the vents?

Not sure if those can come off.

Also, you might want to check places that the vents are connected to, in case it's coming from another nearby (duct-wise) area.

The one time I've been pulled over, my car was searched because it "smelled of weed". I know for a fact there was nothing in the car.

I'm guessing there's something out there that's semi-rare but still crops up occasionally, that smells like weed even to trained noses.

That could be a possibility

[Pimento]

Bathrooms are places in public where LOTS of people go to cut up a bag and roll it into joints, if that was the case it would smell for hours easy considering it was decent stuff.

Good weed is strong smelling before even smoked.

I hate people who think I'm an idiot and don't know what that smell is and try to pretend nothing happened.

you might also want to consider covering your ass and reporting it to the police and have one of those cute doggies sniff the store out.

if someone is brining weed into the store... who knows where they may have planted - or dropped - some.

Well, unless "some" is more than an ounce then the police aren't going to waste time unless there's evidence of distribution, because in Massachusetts (where my store is located), simple possession has been decriminalized.

Besides, I searched that bathroom high and low and didn't find anything, and therefore I'm inclined to believe there wasn't anything TO find.

I suspect that Pimento may be correct in that someone came in, rolled one up, then left.

This is my 5th year in college and I don't know that I COULD actually identify the smell of weed un-smoked.

I must be sheltered.

Nope, cops just wanted an excuse to search your car. You can't prove or disprove that someone smelled something.

I live in Northern California. The stuff out of Humboldt has a smell so strong it's overwhelming. It seems that the better the quality the stronger the smell. And I'm allergic to it, so I really notice it.

When I started this thread, the police had nothing to do with it. I'd rather not have to close my own thread but I will if this continues.
