OKay so I have a strange problem and no body was been able to give me an answer on it. My general physician wont even take me seriously enough to help and I cannot find any answers online.

My skin tastes like marijuana but I have never smoked pot, not even once. I have never even been around the stuff. It has been getting gradually worse and its putting a strain on my sex life. It started about 5 months ago, whenever my girlfriend will kiss or suck on my skin, her breath has a very intense taste and smell of weed. I can taste it if she kisses me after she does it to my skin. It started only on my breasts and was very faint and just started getting worse and is all over my skin, even arms and neck and stomach. I could smell it on her breath from across the room, but its not smellable off my skin, only on her breath after she sucks my skin.

I have not changed my diet at all, I have tried changing my soap, shampoo, perfume, deoderant. I dont smoke, pot or cigaretts, I rarely drink. My diet has been the same for years. The only thing that I can think of is that I have lost weight. About a year ago I lost 10lbs in a matter of days and have not been able to gain it back. For the past several years my normal weight is at least 120 and I am now 112 and have been loosing about a pound every couple of months, which is abnormal for me.

This problem is causing me a lot of stress, my sex life is affected by it. Does anyone have a possible idea what is wrong with me?

How na heck would you know what pot tastes like, especially if you've never been around it?

I was once told my clothes smelled like pot but it was just my mother's sauteed onions, lol. Maybe if you just searched on "odd body scents" you'd fare better...

OR, does anybody else smell this? If not, the problem is in your senses.

Well I have been around pot enough to know what it smells like, its blatently weed and I've only actually tasted it once on myself, every other time its my fiance who is tasting and smelling it on me. I can smell it but have only actually tried to taste it once. So its not just my senses.

I'm not around pot on a regular basis, but I'm not ignorant enough NOT to know what it smells like. The problem started before I ever hung out with people who smoke, which I do now maybe once every two months!

Thank you for your reply though, I have an apointment with a dermatologist tomorrow.

I am pretty curious about this one, nyself ! Very unusual. DO reply with what your doctor said it may be.

I have always been taught that our body scent has a lot to do with what foods we eat.This is why people may carry the strong smell of curry or garlic if they eat a lot of it.

But, pot ? Hmmm.I can't figure it out. Pot always smelled like burned peanuts to me, but...I just don't know. Hope we will hear from you with your doctors' verdict. Good luck.

Does it help to use strong scented body cream , sprays or lotions to cover up the scent ?

So I have sort of figured out for myself that it is my sweat not just my skin. The time that I notice it the most, practically the only time that I notice it is during sex, and sadly I am a sweater. But today I was taking a nap with my fiance and was sweating because it was hot and she said that she could smell it on my back where I was sweating but not on my arm where I wasnt sweating.

So the dermatologist had absolutely no answer for me. He said that the most common cause for body odor is the apocrine glands and its the bacteria not our body that causes the odor. This I already new, but my armpits dont have the pot odor, just a normal B.O. I'm sure if my fiance tasted my armpits she might have the pot taste, but she hasnt jumped on the chance to taste my armpits and I dont blame her! he said that the apocrine glands are mostly in the armpits and that is where the odor should be the strongest, yet I have not noticed it there at all. His other thing he said it could be is the endocrine glands that also contribute to body odor in a very rare condition, but its usually assosiated with the smell of fish and its a genetic condition, so I should have had it my whole life, but infact it is just a recent thing for me.

I have to point out that its not really the odor that is the problem, but the taste. When I have sex, you can smell it faintly from my "down there" area, but really its the taste of my skin when my fiance kisses, licks, sucks, ect. She can taste it VERY strongly and then I can smell it just as strong on her breath and I can taste it when I kiss her. So its not something you can really smell, but the taste is incredibly strong, although there is a faint smell.

I am still desperate for answers. The taste and smell is so strong that it does on occasion stop sex, so its a pain. Although just the other day when we had sex, she didnt taste it at all! Usually its every time, but once in a blue moon its not there. I'm startin to think its something in my diet because I too know the influence diet has on our odor and tastes, but I have looked into my diet and cant think of anything that has changed.
