The art of the secret sesh: How to cover up the smell of weed

Whether you're enjoying your favorite strain at home, on a road trip, or somewhere in between, one thing's for sure—sometimes you need to keep that dank aroma on the down-low. We've all been there, caught in a cloud of delightful fragrance that, while heavenly to us, might not be so welcome to everyone around. But fear not! Today, we're talking scent control and how to hide the smell of cannabis with a touch of fun and flair!

The Nose Knows: Understanding the Scent

First things first, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room—cannabis has a smell. A strong one. From that earthy, skunky scent to the sweet, fruity notes, cannabis can announce itself from miles away. It's like nature's way of saying, "High, I'm here, and I'm fabulous!" But, for various reasons, you might want to keep that announcement a little quieter. Whether you're trying to be respectful of your neighbors, avoiding awkward conversations with your landlord, or simply enjoying your own space, keeping the smell under wraps can be challenging.

1. Seal the Deal with Airtight Storage

One of the easiest ways to keep your cannabis low-key is by storing it properly. We're talking airtight containers, people! Think of them as little scent prisons for your buds. Glass jars with rubber seals like our handy upcycled stash jar candles, or smell-proof bags or vacuum-sealed bags are your best friends here. They lock in the aroma and keep your stash fresh. Plus, they make you look like a cannabis connoisseur. Win-win!

2. Get Crafty with DIY Sploofs

Ah, the trusty sploof. It's a DIY contraption that makes you feel like a crafty genius. All you need is a cardboard tube (think paper towel or toilet paper roll), dryer sheets, and a rubber band. Stuff the tube with dryer sheets, secure them with the rubber band, and voilà! Exhale your smoke through the sploof and the dryer sheets will filter the smell. It's cheap, easy, and oddly satisfying. For a double whammy of protection, we recommend lighting up our sploof bong candle to bring the fresh scent of clean, bright linen to your space while eliminating bad odors simultaneously. This odor-erasing candle’s patented olfactory technology will bring a breath of fresh air to the room, no toilet paper tubes or dryer sheets required.

3. Spray, Spray, Spray Away!

If you're in a pinch and need a quick fix, odor-neutralizing sprays are a lifesaver. These sprays don't just mask the smell—they neutralize it. Look for products specifically designed for cannabis odors, as they're formulated to tackle that unique scent profile. A few spritzes, and you're good to go. It's like magic, but science-y!

4. Embrace the Great Outdoors (or Ventilation)

If the weather's nice, why not take your session outside? Nature's air freshener—aka the breeze—does wonders for dispersing smoke and scent. If stepping out isn't an option, crank open a window or turn on a fan. Good ventilation is key to keeping the air fresh and smell-free. Plus, it's a great way to avoid that stale smoke hangover the next day.

5. Candles, Incense, and the Power of Aroma

Let's talk ambiance. Lighting a *bong candle* or some incense can do more than set the mood; it can also mask any lingering cannabis smell. Opt for strong, pleasant scents that can hold their own against that pungent cannabis aroma like tangerine dream, thank you, or crossfade. Just be careful—don't burn the house down in your quest for olfactory discretion!

6. Shower Power: The Steam Solution

For those who enjoy a post-session refresh, hop in the shower. The steam helps open your pores and cleanse your skin of any lingering odors, while the hot water and soap do their part too. Pro tip: If you have a bathroom fan, turn it on! It's like a mini-exorcism for smells.

Final Thoughts

There you have it—a crash course in the art of hiding the smell of cannabis. Whether you're a seasoned smoker or a casual toker, these tips will help you enjoy your cannabis experience without the worry of unwelcome scents. So go forth, enjoy your herb, and may your air always be fresh!
