5 ways to rid your home of that marijuana smell

One of the most emblematic aspects of marijuana is its smell. The scent of marijuana is as special as it is tempting and one of the most famous fragrances in the world. It’s also one of the hardest to get rid of.

To keep your fabrics and home from smelling of weed, there are a few things you can do, although it is always better to prevent the odor rather than removing it once it has established itself.

Here are 5 of the most useful pieces of advice for making your home as odor-proof as possible:

Use a vaporizer

While there are many people who prefer to smoke joints and use bongs, vaporizers are effective when you want to consume something discreet that creates little to no odor. These devices heat marijuana instead of burning it, don’t create a weed smell (or at least a much more subtle version of it), and save your clothes a trip to the laundry.

Smoke buddies are a little clunky, but they’re a cheap and portable option that will help you get rid of persistent marijuana smoke. With these devices, you can blow smoke directly into it, so that your surroundings remain odor-free. You can also make a sploof that is cheaper and just as effective by using just a couple of dryer sheets and a cardboard toilet roll roll.

Febreze masks the smell of weed, even if it makes your home smell of chemicals. If you prefer a more natural scent, you can try frankincense, which also creates a strong and distinct odor that masks the smell of marijuana.

A common way to smoke low-level marijuana is to smoke in the bathroom while the shower is on. The water needs to be hot to create some steam, which in turn mixes with the marijuana smoke and dissipates the odor.

While this measure is extreme, it is an effective way to mask the smell of marijuana. Burnt popcorn has a strong smell and stays in your house for hours, maybe even days. However, if you choose this option, you are essentially trading one smell for another. So hopefully you know how to remove the smell of burnt popcorn from your home.
