Shelomi used this as the basis for a potential hypothesis. "Eventually, I figured out that my armpit sweat only smells like weed during or before a stressful situation."ĭr. "I remember walking into a class before giving a presentation and noticing it," Trent, from Kansas, told me. Eccrine sweat is clear and watery, and used to cool the body down, while apocrine sweat glands, clumped mainly around the armpits and genitals, activate during sex and times of stress. Shelomi realized the cannabis smell probably comes from apocrine sweat as opposed to eccrine sweat. Scientific breakthroughs started coming thick and fast. "Now all we need are a statistically significant number of sensimilla-scented volunteers and an olfactometry lab that's totally down for whatever." "It looks like several of the compounds most strongly associated with the distinct aroma of Mary Jane are also found in gym socks," Shelomi told me. Out of 233 elements and compounds found in marijuana and nearly 100 in human sweat, 11 matched. Matan Shelomi, a researcher at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, compared studies that broke down cannabis and human sweat into individual chemicals to see if there were any shared compounds. In an original piece of research for VICE, Dr. Undeterred, and with nothing better to do, I sought out some of the world's most eminent biologists and cannabis experts and distracted them from far worthier business in order to discover, once and for all, why my BO sometimes smells like weed. But my search brought up little more than the "top answer" on Yahoo Answers, which was just a description of how to wash. I stayed up all night trawling the internet for answers.
