It's bad now but it was way worse during the height of COVID (not a total shock). What had always been there but at least a little surreptitious was now way out in the open—and highly odorous.

I believe you but it's hard for me to imagine how it could be more omnipresent. Perhaps it's also that the weed being smoked is so much more potent and stinky than that on which Gen X was weaned.
