[QUOTE="Beechurst, post: 130221686, member: 1982353"] Back in the 70s I worked at a hospital at night and there was an elder 'engineering' employee on patrol (think intermittently leave the boiler room to check thermostats, lights etc. throughout the facility). Employees from all disciplines and departments would melt into the pot of the evening cafeteria break, including doctors and orderlies, housekeeping personnel and this engineer, known by all as the 'Candy Man.' If you encountered him while he patrolled (and he loved to sneak up and scare the H out of you...a la Cato...had to remain vigilant every night...) and he liked you, he would give you a little cellophaned peppermint...or throw it at you while you slept. One night, he came into the cafeteria wide-eyed, breathless and agog in excitement with a page one story to tell... 'I was in the stairwell goin' up to Peeds [Pediatrics] and I swear they was some kids up the stairs that was smokin' MARY-WANNA!!! I heard 'em run but I KNOW that's what they was doin'!!! I never done or seen it but I could SMELL IT!!! He paused triumphantly, looking around at his small, captivated and rapt audience...then he exclaimed to all, 'IT SMELT JUS' LIKE BURNIN' WEEDS...THAT HAD DRUGS IN IT!!! THAT'S HOW I KNOW! IT SMELT LIKE BURNIN' WEEDS MIXED WITH DRUGS!!!!' Ever since, that has been how I have described the smell of cannabis to the uninitiated. [/QUOTE]
