WHILE NOTHING QUITE BEATS TAKING A WHIFF OF SOME GOOD WEED, THERE ARE SOME THINGS OUT THERE THAT HAVE A SIMILAR SCENT.

Have you ever been out in public and swore that you smell marijuana? Did you realize that it could be something else, other than your beloved herb? Cannabis has that unique and potent smell that is ever so pleasant and far different than any scent out there. While nothing quite beats taking a whiff of some good weed, there are some things out there that have a similar scent. Here are 10 other things that smell just like weed.

This oil blends scents like fig, sandalwood, pepper, and patchouli in order to form a cannabis-like scent. There’s no actual cannabis in the oil, but it’s supposedly the next best thing as far as smells go.

4. Beer

Maybe it’s because this is what you commonly use to try and hide the smell of weed in your room, or maybe it does indeed smell like pot. Nevertheless, some say that the Axe Touch spray smells similar to weed.

6. Moss Phlox

The Stinky Candle Company makes candles that smell just like pot. Yes, that’s the actual name of the company that makes the Marijuana Scented Candle, which is said to smell like a burning joint. For just $10, your home can be filled with a relaxing and potent aroma.

8. Skunk

Unfortunately, some say marijuana smells like a skunk. While cannabis can have a skunk-like scent, it’s definitely no where close to the horrific and disgusting stench you get from a stinky skunk.

9. Washington D.C.

According to a Washington Post poll, 57% of its residents say that they can smell marijuana at least once a month. It’s no surprise, being that several residents of the area supports the legalization of marijuana. Residents of Washington, D.C. continue to fight for cannabis to be removed from the federal government’s most serious drug category.

10. Body odor

Oddly enough, people have actually claimed that their body odor smells just like marijuana. One possibility is that the smell is a result of consuming other plants. No studies currently suggest that if you smoke weed, you can smell it in your sweat. Some individuals swear by it, though.
