Why Mouth And Body Is Smelling Marijuana After Passing Through The Streets?
Over the past couple of months, I started noticing this weird marijuana taste in my mouth or smell on my body. I have never smoked or done any drugs, including marijuana, which is why I am getting worried. It comes along once in a while, but it all started after I walked through a street that smelled strongly of marijuana. Is it possible that my body is absorbing it on the street (like second hand smoke)? If not, what could it possibly be?

Hi,
It is not possible for your body to absorb enough smoke from walking in the street so that the smell emanates from the body. In my opinion, the most likely possibility is that it is perhaps your memory that is playing tricks on you. It often happens that strong smells are later on recalled so vividly that they appear real. Just ask your family and friends if they too can smell marijuana on you. If they cannot, then obviously your body is not smelling of it.
Best wishes.
