I could smell the marijuana from the greeting area.

I didn’t know what to expect when I first walked into a marijuana dispensary, but it wasn’t this.

As soon as I walked into the greeting area, my senses were assaulted with the smell of marijuana.

I thought the odor would only be there when you were using it. I didn’t realize the smell would be coming from the plant. Had I thought about it, I would have known that plants give off the odor. My flowers don’t just smell good when you sniff the flower, but the entire plant has a distinctive odor, and so does marijuana. I told them I was surprised to smell the marijuana so strongly when I walked in the door. The girl at the counter laughed. According to her, many people were taken aback when they first walked in. It is a bit overwhelming to be greeted by the odor of marijuana when it had been illegal for so long. Your first time at a marijuana dispensary is overwhelming enough to begin with. I had to laugh, knowing she was right. She said you get used to it after a while. I wasn’t sure I was going to get used to it, but if I wanted to go to the marijuana dispensary once in a while, I had no choice. When I got home, my mother turned her nose up and walked away. I asked her if I had done something wrong. She sniffed and told me I smelled like marijuana, and it smelled worse than she remembered from when she was a teenager.
