Narrative:
The cabin had a smell coming out of the forward galley. It smelled like marijuana at first then the second smell was stronger and smelled like a dead skunk. The flight attendants started to inquire about the smell; soon after the captain called and stated that he also smelled the dirty smell; he was not comfortable flying with the smell. We returned to the gate; passengers were deplaned [and] the flight was cancelled as a result. However; we were on a ground delay due to bad weather; we never had the opportunity to take off.
