How To Get Rid of Weed Smell: 8 Tips

When you don’t want to smell like weed but you still want to enjoy it, carry these tips with you.

From advice on where and how to smoke weed to some recommendations on odor-masking agents — these are our eight best tips on how to leave the lingering weed smell from your smoke session at the door.

1. Partake In The Great Outdoors

Nothing makes the smell of weed intensify more than when you smoke inside.

While hot-boxing, fish bowling, and sitting in the warmth of your own smoke might intensify your high and make for some funny photos, it’s not going to help in the smelling-clean department. And that's an odor that even the strongest body spray could fail to mask.

When you take your smoke session outside, every rip and line of billowing smoke emanating from the end of a joint at the top of a bowl can dissipate into the endless air surrounding it. The heavily scented smoke doesn’t waft over you and settle into your clothes, skin, and hair like it does when you have an indoor smoking session.

You will not smell as much like weed when you smoke outdoors. If you must stay inside, then you’ll want to find or create the most well-ventilated area possible to avoid smelling too much.

If you do smell at all after your elevated hike, you can always take a shower when you get home.

Simple tips for smoking weed inside without smelling:

• Make a sploof to blow your hits through. A sploof is simply a toilet paper roll stuffed with dryer sheets. To keep it contained, you can rubberband a dryer sheet or toilet paper sheet at the end of each end of the roll. Then, when you blow smoke through it, the dryer sheets eliminate a lot of the weed odor. Just don’t forget mask the smell of the smoke billowing from your joint or bowl.

• Open a dang window. This might seem obvious, but too many cannabis users have thought of blowing their hits outside too late into the game.

• Hold your hits in as long as you can. It will help you feel the effects more intensely and let less skunky smoke out into your enclosed space.

• Air out your space Open windows, turn on fans, and take any other steps you can to air out your space. You can also add some air freshener into the mix to mask the smell if i

2. Opt For Bowls Instead of Paper-Wrapped Smoking Vessels

We love a nice joint. Who doesn’t?

However, if your aim is to have a sneaky sesh and return to your friends or family without smelling as much like weed as possible, then smoking bowls in pipes or bongs might be better.

Joints produce smoke in a constant stream of burning paper to every smoking session, and more smoke ultimately means a longer-lasting lingering pungent smell.

Bowls, on the other hand, put you in a position where you’re just burning the flower, and the absence of burning paper truly does result in less stinky clothes and hands.

3. Keep An Odor Eliminator On Hand

An age-old practice — masking the smell of your pot with an odor eliminator designed for your body, clothes, or the air around you can sometimes help.

For the air, we recommend picking an air freshener, air purifier, or scented candle, or you can go classic-hippie and burn incense for a quick fix. Remember that no mask will clear unpleasant odors better than genuine airflow and an open window.

For yourself, some spray deodorant or body spray can freshen up your clothes. Taking care to wash your hands with hot water or wet wipes or applying hand sanitizer will also go a long way to reducing the cannabis smell. Essential oils work as odor-neutralizers too. For a more proactive approach to clearing the cannabis smell from your clothes, you can always rub a little baking soda on any shirt or pair of pants you want to neutralize. Also, make sure to drive home with the windows open.

4. Ramp Up Your Daily Hygiene Efforts

Simple steps you take for your hygiene can also help mask the smell of cannabis after a session. Take a shower, refresh, and feel refreshed.

We’re also talking about re-applying deodorant, washing your hands and face, and even changing your clothes, which are acts of hygiene that also help you get rid of the smell of weed.

Brush your teeth — doing it high is not only a refreshing and uplifting activity, but it also helps reduce unwanted odors. When you’re away from your bathroom or toothbrush, some mints can serve as a worthy, on-the-go substitute.

In terms of your furniture, if you have made a habit of smoking inside and want it to stop smelling, you need to start taking it outside or create an effective window-fan setup.

For cleaning up, air fresheners, carpet shampoo or carpet cleaner, and open windows can help eliminate the strong scent.

5. Burn Incense, Candles & Sage

If you want to hide the smell of weed without using air fresheners, try burning natural incense. For generations, this has been a go-to move in head shops and at the homes of cannabis enthusiasts.

Incense can genuinely mask the cannabis smell, but its heavy association with the culture might not lend itself to keeping your activities secret.

Scented candles, sage, and other aromatics can play the same game without making your home smell like a hippy’s tent at a music festival.

Essential oils and diffusers also offer clean and varied scents for anyone who is looking to purify their space or diffuse the smell of weed.

6. Leave Your Piece Or Roach Outside

Sometimes, absent-mindedly carrying the stinkiest remnants of your session inside causes your clothes or home to take on the smell of weed.

Those of you smoking joints will want to leave your roaches responsibly behind in ashtrays or at least outside to avoid dragging too much of a hefty odor in with you. If you don't, it will be a lot harder to hide the smell.

If you’re smoking weed from a bowl, then you’re either going to want to find a place outside of your home or wherever you’re hanging out to store it post-session.

If you do need to keep it on you, then wrapping up your pipe or bong and putting it into an airtight container is the best way to mask the weed smell as much as possible.

When you've left a roach or bowl in your pocket, then it could be best to change clothes and even use some air fresheners.
