I don’t use the stuff, but it does have a distinctive stink.

Home beer making can produce the same odor.

Hops is closely related to weed.

Yes you are quite right. I had not thought of that but in its raw form the smell is similar. In that case the police should have to prove that they can distinguish it from other smells. Interesting!

Interesting.

Kinda doubt the perp was making beer in his car, though. :-))

Grafting hops onto a pot plant yields a THC laden leafy substance.
Don’t know how it tastes, read about it in High Times back in high school, lol.

Agreed, but the issue issue is whether the odor justifies a search of a motor vehicle, not a person's home.
