Because none of the other ones are near as pervasive or as overwhelming in modern society.

Actually, they are, you're just used to them - or conditioned to them.

When you pull a shirt out of the dryer and stick your face in it and smell it, it smells 'clean' to you. The fact is that you're smelling perfumes in the cleaning products that you associate with being clean. But those perfumes are really just chemicals manufactured at a plant which are now coating the fibers of your clothes. So no, your clothes are NOT clean, they are covered with chemicals. You've just been conditioned to think that those chemicals mean cleanliness by association.

Objectively, those chemicals stink.

Cannabis, otoh, we've been programmed to associate with criminal behavior. When we smell it, we think we smell criminals.

To me, burning plants don't smell nearly as bad as manufactured chemicals. I'd rather smell burning cane, burning rope, or even a Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road, than chemicals from Dow or Exxon.

But people associate the smell of weed with misbehaving.

I know that when I smell dope at a store, a parking lot, or a restaurant, it’s usually the same culprits.

Don't believe your lying nose, that pile of shite actually smells good!

That was a brain-fried explanation if I ever saw one.

We? When I smell it, I associate it with hippies from the 70's man. Bill Walton specially. RIP.

Back in the 90s I did a lot of survey work in rural Louisiana. Often times we would come to a bridge over a stream and we could smell Tide (mostly) detergent. The reason we could smell Tide is because the homeowners in the area didn't maintain their ATUs properly, so they were discharging untreated sewer water into the stream. Statewide, something like 60-80% of residential ATUs are failing.

I used to associate the smell of Tide with clean laundry. Now, I associate the smell of Tide with raw sewage. I can't use it anymore, it stinks.

It's all about conditioning.
