    Recently I had the flu for a week, during this time I did not have any desire to smoke, the smell of marijuana disgusted me, and the taste/smell of the smoke would almost make me vomit on contact, so I didn't smoke. Well now I am finally better, and the desire to not smoke is still not there. I don't know what it is, before I got sick I had a giant passion for cannabis use, I loved to smoke daily, but now I don't want anything to do with it, and it really sucks but I'm having a hard time understanding why?
     
    An example is I have this strain that smells of really strong rotten blue cheese and blueberries, strongest smell I have encountered. Before I got sick, I could remember smelling it and loving the smell, it screamed dank to me. But now, I smell it for what it is, and it smells utterly disgusting.

    Did you smoke around the time you got sick? I'm no doctor or anything and this is just a theory, but maybe your brain is associating the smell with the sickness you had?

    Highly possible. I was reading a study a while back about studying how strong the unconscious mind is. They took a few subjects, had them fall asleep, and release either pleasant or bad smells in the room. If a pleasant smell was released, a high pitched sound would activate, and a low pitched sound for bad smells. The subjects would not wake up due to the sounds.
    After a while when they woke up, the patients were hooked up to all sorts of monitors and the same high or low pitched sounds were played. What the researchers found was that when a low pitched sound was played (which represented the bad smell) the subjects would unconsciously either stop breathing or not breathe as much. When a high pitched sound (good smell) was played, the subjects would breathe more deeply.



    I smoke on 1/5. I was always taught to reduce fractions.

    i was a daily user, so yes the day before I first noticed symptoms, I smoked. The smell of any weed is bad to me now, it doesnt smell "good" in any way. You know how general fragrances of weed are not good smells in general, but we relate it to being strong marijuana, take the skunky fragrence or the fishy fragrence of og. I would previously relate these smells with being good or "dank" but now, I smell them for what they really are, a dead skunk and rotten fish, and its not good at all.

    I inhale smoke, it doesn't feel good, I dont know how to describe it. I am just turned off from anything marijuana, probably will be for a long time now too

    Maybe because they smelled horrible when you were sick your mind kind of links that to now and makes the smell still horrible. I dunno man im to stoned to try and think properly

    Pretty sure weed isn't suppose to smell like rotten blue cheese and fish

    It's similar to taste aversion,  classical conditioning phenomena where you associate a particular food with the unconditioned response, making the weed a conditioned stimulus. You'll probably extinguish the aversion response by just toking up.

    I thought so too, but I can only take one puff before I need to put it down before I'm disgusted again, its not so much the smoke but the taste and smells that really turn me off

    Sounds like you need to try vaporization my friend, start with a fruity strain to pick up the flavors.

    If you don't smoke then I'm kinda curious if simply rolling a joint will solve this. If it does work, since smoking will have a different taste and though smell maybe a similar , since you're using the same weed,but I think smoking for awhile might help , since the degree of taste and smell you get is weaker compared to vaping. Or switching to a different strain .
