    You know, when you smell things that aren't there?

    Does this ever happen to any of you? I smell things alot that aren't there. for instance sometimes I smell peanut butter while in the shower. I don't shower with anything that smells even remotely like peanut butter, I don't even have peanut butter in my house. I also smell a sweet smell, kinda like blueberries, when I wake up in the morning.

    Should I be concerned? I don't use drugs, except pot, and I don't drink at all.

    when i was stoned and fumbling thru the ashtray in hopes of finding under smoked smokes id often think they had weed, or insence in them. Also when I was sick, my tobacco had a saccrin taste to it

    I was going home on the bus today, and all I could taste was popcorn, though I hadn't eaten any in weeks...

    yeah, I get them too.
    but not until recently.. as in the past few months.

    but some people with problems have them, but they smell things like burning rubber.. pleasant.

    I don't want to jump in here and worry everyone, but in some cases smelling things that aren't there can be a sign of a brain tumor. However, I myself have smelled these phantom smells and I'm pretty sure I'm ok...I think it's also a normal thing and doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna die =)

    I think we should all stop smoking pot.
