You mean Jenkem. If that was the case they would be smelling methane, that is if Jenkem even exists.

Oh, it exists. It originally started out as a joke to fool a local Sherrifs office in the states but folk eventually tried it and people have since copied them. So it is now actually a real, albeit very silly drug.

Thats just gross. I haven’t heard that story, I have heard the one about American inmates making it.

bileduct: soak your weed in lavender oil so it smells nicer?

There’s been issues with late-night hi-jinks on the Chifley oval in the past, although not this early in the evening. And I have this vague idea that someone in that general area burns off in a backyard incinerator sometimes (having smelled burning a few times last summer), so perhaps it’s that?

Is it possible that a neighbour is burning incense or something that smells particularly odd? Or perhaps smoking clove cigarettes – they have a pretty strong smell?

Let’s say it is me, smoking pot on my own private property.

What are you proposing I do about it?

anonymous gungahlian – good point. I’ll get another independent nose to smell it when it starts.

Since we have not even determined whether or not it is actually pot (For all we know it could be jenkum) and it seems that you are not a THC enthusiast, you should get a subject matter expert to come along and verify your claims of neighbourly naughtiness.

I used to have neighbours in Sydney who would start stinking up the place at about 4 in the afternoon and for months we thought that they were smoking skin flakes that they found in their socks until we found out it they were actually cooking some of their native dishes.

oh no emd – once it starts and I have to literally put something over my nose – it’s definitely some sort of very strong (funny) smoke from outside. You’re right though, I smell it more than my partner – though he definitely smells it too (but thinks it’s some sort of burning). You can’t miss it! Lasts about an hour. I’ll go for another walk tonight when it starts…

Are your neighbours stoners or do they seem like them? Maybe there are people on the oval smoking. What emd said too, when pregnant your sense of smell can become more accute. You should probably find out soon and prevent it so it doesn’t harm your baby.

Also, smells can seem abnormally strong when you’re pregnant. Do other people notice how strong the smell is?

Good point. Maybe the cooks at A bite to Eat @ Chiffo shops slip out for a well deserved cone after the dinner time rush.
