How to Hide the Smell of Weed

Do you find yourself worrying that people around you might get a whiff of your hit? Although it is legal here in Canada, there is still a stigma around smoking, and we understand you may prefer to keep your choice of medicine private.

We’ve put together some simple things you can do to hide the smell, so you can confidently enjoy your greens in peace. 

Towel Under the Door

This is our top recommendation, and one people often forget about. Have housemates that are not so keen on the smell of weed? All you’ll need to do is dampen a towel and fill any gaps between the floor and the door. That way, any smoke blown into the room won’t bleed into the rest of the house.

Fan & Window

Assuming you have access to both, take advantage of them! Open the window and place the fan in a way that the air is being pushed out of the window. This will act as homemade ventilation and eliminate the smell of cannabis in no time.

Avoid Using Papers

If you’re going to be smoking inside, we highly recommend avoid smoking joints and blunts, as these methods burn for longer and therefore accumulate more smell that may stick around for days. Instead, smoke from a bong or a pipe for quick hits that can be easily hidden. With that being said, don’t overfill your bowl! Only pack as much as you can handle in one hit to reduce the amount of smoke being blown into the room.

Sploof

Make your weed smell like laundry! All you need to make a sploof is a toilet paper roll, dryer sheets and a rubber band. Remove any bits of toilet paper remaining on the roll and fill it with 3 to 4 dryer sheets. Next, take another dryer sheet, and drape it around one of the ends. Secure it in place with a rubber band, and you’re set! Take a hit and blow the smoke through the sploof.

Consider Vaping

Although vaping cannabis may not be as popular, it sure is a simple and effective way to get high with less smell. The smoke from a vapour won’t stick to your clothes, nor does it travel as far as smoke from a pipe/ bong does. Not to mention, it’s very small so you can take it with you! Chew on a piece of gum after your done, and all evidence will be gone. 

Candles and Sprays

This one is a no-brainer! You can mask the smell of nearly anything with a strong scented candle or body spray. Before taking a hit, light a couple of candles! Afterwards, spray the air with perfume or cologne. 

Make Popcorn 

As funny as it sounds, the smell of a freshly popped bag of popcorn may just dominate the smell of your weed. Not to mention, you’ll also have a snack to much on! Now that’s a win. 

Airtight Storage

Rather than storing your cannabis in a Ziplock bag, try a mason jar or vacuum-sealed bag to prevent your greens from smelling up the room. Especially if you plan on traveling with your weed!  You would be surprised how easily others can detect weed in a nearby backpack.
