For longtime consumers, maintaining discretion is a top priority—especially when receiving delivery orders to their home or condo. The distinctive aroma of cannabis can linger longer than expected, potentially drawing unwanted attention from neighbors, landlords, or visiting guests. Fortunately, there are several simple and effective ways to enjoy cannabis without leaving behind a stinky smell.
Choose Low-Odor Consumption Methods
The type of product and how you consume it makes a big difference. Smoking flower or using a traditional pipe produces the strongest smell. In contrast, vape pens, tinctures, and edibles are much more discreet. Vape pens, especially those with oil cartridges, emit minimal scent and are quick to use. Edibles like gummies, chocolates, or capsules offer a completely odorless option and are ideal for those looking to avoid any smoke at all.
Improve Airflow and Ventilation
If you do smoke or vape indoors, make sure the room is well-ventilated. Open windows to allow fresh air to circulate, and if possible, create a cross-breeze by opening windows on opposite sides of the room. Using a fan to blow air out a window can also help direct any odor outside. A common method among seasoned consumers is using the bathroom with the exhaust fan on while placing a towel at the base of the door to trap any smell inside.
Use Odor Neutralizers
When consuming indoors, it helps to have odor neutralizers on hand. Sprays designed specifically to eliminate cannabis odor—like Cannabolish or other herbal air fresheners—are very effective. Avoid heavy, perfumed sprays that only mask the smell temporarily. Scented candles and incense can also help, but essential oil diffusers offer a cleaner and longer-lasting alternative. Oils like eucalyptus, citrus, or peppermint can effectively freshen the space without being overpowering.
Filter the Smoke
To prevent smoke from lingering, try using a smoke filter. Popular devices like the Smoke Buddy or Sploofy trap exhaled smoke and eliminate much of the smell. For those on a budget, a homemade “sploof” made from a cardboard tube and dryer sheets can also do the trick. Exhaling through these filters significantly reduces odor, making indoor consumption less obvious.
Store Cannabis Correctly
Cannabis flower has a naturally pungent aroma, even before it’s used. Store it in airtight glass jars or designated smell-proof containers. Keep those jars in a cool, dark place to reduce the scent from seeping into your living area. If you’re transporting product, odor-proof travel bags can keep things discreet and respectful in public or shared spaces.
Practice Personal Hygiene
After consuming, odors can cling to your clothes, skin, and hair. To stay fresh, change clothes and wash your hands. Brushing your teeth or using mouthwash removes any lingering smell on your breath. If you’ve smoked heavily, consider showering and washing your hair, which can trap more odor than you’d expect.
