A member asked:

Can the smell and aroma of a fresh cannabis plant when harvested affect your body or mind in any way ?

Specializes in Pain Management

No effect: You are smelling the Terpenes which are produced by the buds. You would have to take in smoke or THC product to feel any effects.

SHOULD BE FINE: I do not think that you will get a contact high unless you are around it a lot or smoking. If you are concerned wear a mask.
