spray some glue on a sock, give a sniff every time you need a hit.

Lol, I still have that "new car smell." Yes, I strangly like it as well. Yes, it's nothing more than volatile organic compounds (like glue) off-gassing. Yes, it's probably not very healthy for you.
However, we associate that odor with a very pleasant experience that doesn't happen very often: a new car. While that smell on its own--if it wasn't associated with that new car--would probably be revolting, because we do associate it with a very rewarding experience, we tend to like it.
Psychology at work and probably the reason car manufacturers still use these compounds in the car, even though companies like 3M offer non-voc equivalents.
Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs, and frequent marijuana smokers can have the same breathing problems that tobacco smokers have. These problems include daily cough and phlegm, more frequent lung illness, and a higher risk of lung infections. Researchers still do not know whether marijuana smokers have a higher risk for lung cancer.
Increased heart rate. Marijuana raises heart rate for up to 3 hours after smoking. This effect may increase the chance of heart attack. Older people and those with heart problems may be at higher risk
Problems with child development during and after pregnancy. Marijuana use during pregnancy is linked to increased risk of both brain and behavioral problems in babies. If a pregnant woman uses marijuana, the drug may affect certain developing parts of the fetus’s brain. Resulting challenges for the child may include problems with attention, memory, and problem-solving. Additionally, some research suggests that moderate amounts of THC are excreted into the breast milk of nursing mothers. The effects on a baby’s developing brain are still unknown.
Mental effects
Long-term marijuana use has been linked to mental illness in some users, such as:
temporary hallucinations—sensations and images that seem real though they are not
temporary paranoia—extreme and unreasonable distrust of others
worsening symptoms in patients with schizophrenia (a severe mental disorder with symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, and disorganized thinking)
Marijuana use has also been linked to other mental health problems, such as:
