What drug smells like skunk?

I have a druggy neighbor below me and lately he has been smoking some type of drug. I suspect it's coke or crack but the best way for me to describe the smell is that of a skunk. I am not sure if it could also be meth? I am concerned b/c i have a toddler and do not want her to be exposed to it. Could the smell of drugs go into her blood stream and damage her health? I could not care less if a person chooses to do drugs and ruin their life but I do care when me and my two year old child have to breath it in. That's why i think drug users should just be shot. But any way the only description of the smell I have read on the internet is that it has a sweet smell. To me sweet smells like cake or flowers this smell is far from sweet. Thanks for your help

    It sounds like your smelling marijuana. Those other drugs you are talking about tend to smell like ummm , similar to fresh paint or magic markers, it's hard to describe verbally. I work at a police dept. as a dispatcher and I've never smelled that "sweet" smell that you are talking about but i too have read that as a description of the drug. I do not think you need to worry about the fumes or the smoke getting into the baby's lungs if your neighbor is across the street. or next door. Not even if you are in an apartment and his apt. is near yours. It just does not really work that way. The precautions should just be the activity going on around your home and maybe report some suspicious activity to your local police dept. Chances are they will smell it and be able to act on it themselves. Good luck.

    PS: all shot? that's a little extreme.

    I too encounter similar smell in apartment building where I live. It sure isn't like the weed we had back in the 70s! That is why I, too, wonder if it isn't meth or crack?

    not to worry it sounds like your neighbor is just smoking a bit of skunk (weed;pot;cannabis)

    first of all your toddler should not be in any danger because even in the event that your neighbour was smoking any of the drugs you mentioned, unless she was in a unventilated room with him, it cannot get into her blood stream that easily.

    secondly i find your opinion on drug users quite distressing. I'm sure that no one says they want to be a 'druggie' when they grow up but unfortunately due to many circumstances including poor living standards, difficult social circumstances and family conflict and fragmentation to name a few can contribute to someone geting addicted to drugs. SHOOTING them all will not solve the problem and i find this type of attitude very worrying

    Is this neighbor in the same building (as in an apartment) or are you in different houses? It makes a difference. The closer you are to the smell, the more likely it can give symptoms (respiratory) to your toddler. I think I would be reporting my suspicions (anonymously to the police tip line) and see what happens. I would consider moving if you think there are drug activity going on before someone gets shot over a bad drug deal.

    If it smells skunk-y, my money says it's pot. Really good pot.

    And first you don't care what this person does with their life and in next sentence, you think they should be shot. Which is it?
