SUMMARY OF TASTE EFFECTS
In general, we may say that the main perceived effect of marijuana on taste is enhancement of taste
qualities and (a consequent?) increase in appetite. As one informant put it, "On pot every man becomes a
gourmet; good food tastes remarkably good, crappy food is awful!" This effect might be put to practical
medical use where a patient is seriously underweight.
SMELL
MAJOR EFFECTS
Although smell is a relatively neglected sense in modern man, some alterations in smell sensations are
reported by marijuana users.
A common experience is "Smells become much richer and more unique when stoned" (13%, 17%,
35%, 23%, 12%), which occurs at Moderate levels of intoxication (5%, 30%, 33%, 14%, 3%). This occurs
more frequently among Heavy Total users of marijuana and Users of Psychedelics than among Light or
Moderate Total users (p <.05, overall) or Non-users of Psychedelics (p <.05).

On Being Stoned - Chapter 8
An almost synonymous common experience is "Smell sensations take on new qualities that they don't
have when straight" (15%, 13%, 45%, 15%, 11%), which also occurs at Moderate levels (3%, 31%, 33%,
17% 1%). This also occurs more frequently among Heavy Total users of marijuana (p <.05, overall).

Smell imagery enhancement is fairly
frequent: "If I try to imagine what
something smells like, I can do so much
more vividly than when straight" (31%,
24%, 29%, 7%, 5%), which occurs at
Strong levels of intoxication (3%, 18%,
25%, 13%, 3%).
Smell Components
A rare effect is "When I smell
something, different components of the
smell seem to register at different physical
locations in my nose" (61%, 23%, 9%,
1%, 1%), which occurs at higher levels of
intoxication (1%, 7%, 8%, 11%, 3%, with
69 percent not rating). It is interesting to
compare this with the experience of taste being broken down into different locations in the mouth (see
page 83); this is done in Figure 8-3. This
Aurora Sensi effect occurs more frequently with taste than smell (p <.001),
but levels of intoxication do not differ significantly.
LEVELS OF INTOXICATION FOR SMELL PHENOMENA
Intoxication levels for olfactory phenomena all run from midway between Fairly/Strongly to midway
between Strongly/Very Strongly, with the differences in levels not significant.

On Being Stoned - Chapter 8
The two qualities of smell alteration affected by background factors are smells' becoming more unique
and richer, and smells' taking on new qualities, both of which occur more frequently among users with
more drug experience.

Authoritarianism
Many of these relationships can at least partially be captured by the notion of
authoritarianism. Two decades ago, a massive study entitled The Authoritarian
Personality was published. Although its authors assigned to the concept of
authoritarianism an almost cosmic and all-embracing status, we need not be so ambitious
in our use of it. Regardless of the generality of its applicability, the fact remains that some

of us are more rigid in our thinking processes and in the way we act than others. Some
seek comfort in rules, orders, and a strict hierarchy of power, in a black and white notion
of right and wrong, an unambiguous morality; these people have an intolerance for
ambiguity. Others are more comfortable with ambiguity. They do not need clear-cut rules,
nor do they wish to follow a powerful leader. They do not find the need to divide the
world up into good and bad, right and wrong; they recognize shades in between, and this
does not distress them unduly. They do not ask, upon entering a new social situation,
"Who's in charge here?" They seek the relevance of axes unrelated to power and authority,
which are far less important to them. Some of us, in short, are highly authoritarian, while
others are far less so. As we might expect, this conceptual scheme has relevance for
marijuana use. Some are content to rest with society's prohibition: "No pot." Others, with
a more flexible notion of right and wrong, do not accept this axiom. They have a more
relativistic notion of right and wrong. Individuals with authoritarian attitudes are far less
likely to smoke marijuana than those low in authoritarianism.
In the Simon-Gagnon
college survey, only 6 percent of the high-authoritarian men had tried marijuana, whereas
28 percent of the low-authoritarian men had; the figures for women were 3 percent and 15
percent, respectively.

back and forth between the last three—from occasional to regular to frequent use and back
again—but not in and out of being an experimenter. I look upon experimentation with
marijuana as having used the drug less than a dozen times in one's lifetime, so that after
that, one moves out of this category for good. Thus, this scheme is not a true typology.
