The smell of marijuana is a great odour for avid weed connoisseurs but not for everyone. Some people enjoy smelling the aromas but there are some people who prefer being a little more discreet when it comes to having the pungent smell of cannabis on them or in their household. So here are a few tips on how you can remove the smell whether it's in a hurry or over time.

 

Why Does Weed Smell So Strong?

One of the reasons why cannabis has such a strong skunky smell is because of its terpene compounds, one of them being Myrcene. As well as bay leaf, hops, and thyme having myrcene inside them, some strains can have a different amount of Myrcene making for a long-lasting weed smell in the room.

Examples of strains with a high concentration in Myrcene would be:

  • Cheese
  • Death Star
  • White Russian
  • OG Kush
  • ACDC
  • Harle-Tsu

 

How To Remove The Cannabis Smell

There are a number of tactics that you can use to prevent the smell of your weed from annoying your roommates or the next time your parents-in-law are coming for Sunday dinner.

  • Store it in the correct box- Having an airtight container is extremely important as it will keep your weed fresh, preserving the delicate terpenes profile intact and augmenting the shelf-life of your cannabis.
  • Different ways to get high- Instead of smoking you could ingest edibles. Vapes are a great option for those wanting a more discreet odour in their household as the cannabis is only vaporized releasing THC compounds and terpenes leaving the other plant matter intact as opposed to burning it all in a joint.
  • Get a strain that is low in Mycrene- Strains such as polar express, northern lights as just a few examples of strains with low concentrations in Mycrenes that could help you avoid the skunky smell in your household.
  • Pipes and bongs- Even though it is still smoking, pipes and bongs require a smaller amount of product in the case of a bong, the smoke is all concentrated inside the rig which helps to direct the smell outside or in the kitchen fan.
  • Sloop- Toilet paper, rubber band, and a cylinder tube. By blowing your smoke through this device, it will help mask some of the smell.
  • Covering up the skunky smell- If you are still having problems, you can always try to cover it up with items such as; air fresheners, incent sticks or body sprays. By using some of these methods, It may help you from getting caught next time.
  • Go outside-The safer bet would simply be to take a walk or stand outside on the patio so you are certain no smell will be invading your home. Just remember to close the door behind you.
