"Like sin" doesn't even remotely begin to cover it

I took the lid off of my weed tea and to say that it smelled like sin doesn’t even begin to cover it. Not even remotely. I have no words to describe the stink. Perhaps this small fact will help illustrate — within 2 minutes of taking the lid off, the bucket was swarmed by flies. B...
