So, initially I thought it was just from driving around the general Daytona area (and anyone who lives in the area knows what I'm talking about) but...

Are you ready for this question?

When anyone starts their Maverick and drives for the first mile or so, do you have the distinct smell of...marijuana (!!) coming from your vehicle?

The first time I noticed this I was picking up pizza in town, and there was a skeevey homeless dude hanging around the outside of the pizza shop, probably sizing me up to either ask for money or flat out rob me. (Don't try it, buddy...home girl is packing heat when I travel in Daytona. That's another story.) Anyway, after I assume he decided not to tangle with me he kind of huffed off in the other direction and took out a vape pen that smelled like marijuana. He wasn't anywhere near my truck when all this went down.

After leaving work that same afternoon, I got into in my truck and it completely reeked of marijuana the moment I sat down inside, and did for days afterward.

Today (weeks after the above incident) I got about a half mile down the road and my husband looked at me and asked, "Do you smell marijuana?" So, I know I'm not going crazy, and the smell is very distinct when it is present, which happens at the most random moments.

I'm going to bet no one else is having this issue. Wish I knew a cop who was a K-9 handler to do a walk-around, because I'm totally baffled as to WTF is going on. Beginning to wonder if my truck is insulated with something other than insulation.

Hey, working an eight hour shift in the Hermosillo assembly plant can get pretty boring. An occasional smoke helps but when the supervisor shows up you have to hide it. Sometimes that vehicle moves down the line before you can retrieve it.

ITS SOMEWHERE!!!!;):p

I wonder if OP will be able to post from jail? "I swear, it's not mine!, I don't know how it got there!"

Yeah if you called the police and explained the situation they wouldn't arrest you even if they did find weed....... Unless you actually work for a cartel hahahaha

When I am out walking I get a strong weed odor from passing cars- lots of people out there smoking while driving. If you are around them in traffic you would definitely get some of the odor in your car unless you drive around on recirculate all the time.

I always get a whiff of weed in my truck when I'm driving in the city but I smelled it in my C-max too...but that's cuz the "fine" state of New York legalized it.
