# How To Hide Smell Of Weed

Most states have legalized marijuana for recreational and medical use. That might be the case, but not everyone is okay with the idea of smoking weed. And most pot users want some discretion when using the miracle herb.

Marijuana has a pungent odor- some species are stronger than others. The terpenes in them are responsible for the smell. Sucking flavored sweets or taking drinks may not be enough to get rid of the smell, as it sticks to clothes and even furniture.

Let’s get started!

So, how can you conceal the herb’s persistent smell completely? Is it even possible? Luckily, yes. The post below offers some simple yet effective techniques on[ how to hide the smell of weed](https://www.thekindpen.com/9-easy-genius-ways-to-get-rid-of-the-smell-of-weed-vapor-and-smoke/).

1. Take a Shower

As we stated before, the smell of weed often clings to surfaces- your skin included. Therefore, consider taking a shower after smoking cannabis. It’s relaxing and helps in the following ways:

Personal Hygiene: Showering is an effective way to remove any residual cannabis odor from your skin, hair, and clothing. The heat and steam from the shower can open your pores, allowing you to clean your skin more thoroughly.

Change of Clothes: After showering, you likely change into fresh, clean clothes. This can further eliminate any lingering smell that may be trapped in your clothing.

Removing Smoke Particles: When you smoke weed, some of the odor particles can adhere to your skin and hair. Showering helps wash away these particles and the scent they carry.

Masking Effect: The steam and hot water in the shower can create a temporary masking effect. The steam can mix with any remaining odor on your body, making it less noticeable to others.

Consider brushing your teeth to clear your mouth before showering. Also, use a stronger shampoo and soap if you’ve smoked weed with a more pungent smell.

2. Use Air Freshener

Air fresheners are among the simplest solutions for masking the smell of weed. Note, however, that not just any product will do. Opt for stronger options like Ozium, follow the instructions on the can, and spray every area of the room to benefit from it.

3. Use Coffee Grounds

It might seem like a stretch, but coffee grounds can help clear the air after a pot session. They’re a helpful material with impressive qualities that come in handy for hiding the smell of weed, such as:

Odor Absorption: Coffee grounds have a strong and distinct odor of their own. When placed in a room or area where there is a lingering smell of weed, the coffee grounds can absorb some of the cannabis odor, making it less noticeable.

Neutralizing Effect: The aroma of coffee can help neutralize or cover up the smell of cannabis. The two scents can mix, and for many people, the coffee smell is more pleasant and socially acceptable.

You can place a bowl of coffee grounds in the room where you've been smoking. They can help mask and absorb the odor while you air out the space.

4. Smoke Outside

Don’t want to go through the hassle of cleaning up after smoking? Well, consider smoking outside!

The great outdoors has all the components for an effective and stress-free experience, such as clean, flowing air, plenty of space, and perfect scenery to engage your eyes and mind.

The key is finding out where you’d be most comfortable. In the backyard? On your front lawn? Just make sure you’re alone if you’re an introvert or you’ve got a friend(s) with you if you’re a people person.

5. Buy or Create a Sploof

A sploof is a handheld device that filters the smoke of recreational drugs- including pot. It’s impressively discreet and effective if bought from reliable retailers. It has an open end that you blow the smoke into and another end covered by a filter, where the sieving happens.

Making one is simple if you prefer the DIY route. All you need is a cardboard cylinder from a toilet paper roll, a rubber band, and a dryer sheet.

Fold the sheet severally, place it on one end of the cylinder, and secure it with the rubber band, and you’ve got your homemade sploof.

6. Scent it Away

There are lots of scented materials to choose from in the market. However, more effective choices are essential oils and candles.

Essential oils have powerful and distinct scents, which can be diffused into the air to create a more pleasant and overpowering aroma. When used in combination with a diffuser, they can help mask the smell of weed by releasing a different, more dominant scent into the room.

You can choose essential oils with scents that you find pleasing and that complement the cannabis odor. Common choices include

Lavender

Citrus (like lemon or orange)

Peppermint

Eucalyptus

Pine

7. Smoke In The Shower

This is another equally helpful method that can work depending on the execution. It requires a fan, a damp towel, and some scented soap or candles (optional).

First, turn on the shower as hot as it’ll go and stuff the towel at the bottom crack of the door.

Then, start smoking and reinforce the absorption power with the fan and scented candles or soap once the shower’s steam has accumulated. The smoke will mix with the steam and evaporate. Meanwhile, the towel keeps any extra smoke from creeping out.

8. Invest in a Vaporizer

Vaporizers heat the cannabis at lower temperatures than traditional smoking methods. This means there's less combustion and, subsequently, less odor produced. Vaporizing creates vapor, which is less pungent than the smoke produced by burning marijuana.

Final Thoughts

It’s possible to hide the smell of cannabis- no matter how pungent it may be. Experiment with the methods above, find one that works for you and stick to it. Remember to be persistent and patient to see results.
