The pot smell lingers and makes EVERYTHING stink.
What the hell are you smoking? Pot smoke barely lingers and with a good airing the pot smell doesn't stick to anything.

To answer your question I can only assume it's because they think it smells good and to the furthing thinking stoners it's so people won't know when they are smoking or just burning incense. I would not know first hand however as I don't smoke the pot. :D
I don't smoke, my brother does and his room and everything inside reeks of it.

Pretty much any type of smoke irritates my allergies, so I'm not familiar with the legal stuff either. ;)

Hash smoke lingers a lot. Marijuana depends on the kind I guess. It all smells like heaven to me :)

No crap. I love that smell. I don't smoke anymore but whenever I'm around someone who is it drives me nuts. Smells....so... good... Must resist :( :p

I hate the smell of incense.

A dictionary is your friend. The word is spelled incense.

Yech, I hate the smell. And my apartment does not smell like it at all....they just randomly light it up.

Your mom is my friend. At least when I pay her. Its worth every penny though.

How can you hate the smell of incense there are hundreds of different brands/smells. Personally I like a little sandlewood for my room. I usually will light the incense when I am cleaning my room. I just open the window and let it burn from arross the room. With incense you get what you pay for.

Not all people who burn incense smoke weed. For having your house smell good, I much prefer incense to those nasty chemical deodorizers (i.e. Glade plug-ins, etc.).

Paranoia sets in and they burn it all the time because they always think they smell like pot (because they do).

How long the smell of Marijuana lasts in a room, I have found, depends on several factors.

1. How it is smoked (methods that include paper and tobacco make the scent hang around far longer).
2. What kind is smoked (smell can vary greatly from type to type).
3. Ventilation

Most coverups for joint or blunt type smoking seem to be ineffective except for the very short term.

I am a non-smoker, but have many long time friends who smoke.

It all seems to have a base "incense" smell to it. I'm not sure what it is, but all "flavors" seem to have this foundation that is distinct to incense that I personally find repulsive. It's much better IMO to use essential oils and a nebulizer or a heat source (read: light bulb). Man, they work great!

I know a lot of people who smoke but don't burn incense. Then again they don't smoke in their homes... but sprays work better IMO. Friends have been getting some Odium spray that's supposed to work good.

oh yeah, drugs are for los3rs!!1!!!11
