How To Hide The Smell of Weed:
Complete List of Tips

Written by: Taylor Walker | Updated: January 15th, 2019

If there's one downside of marijuana that every stoner has experienced, getting caught because of its recognizable smell.

However by taking then necessary precautions you can repel the smell of weed, and prevent being noticed by others.

Since "getting rid of the weed smell" is a pretty broad topic, you might be here for several different reasons.

Whether you're trying to transport your stash without stinking up you're car, or get away with smoking weed virtually anywhere, we're going to be covering it all. 

To save time, you can use the table of contents for faster navigation. This guide is aimed to be the one stop shop to hiding/smell proofing your stash.

Let's get right into it, shall we?

How to Hide the Smell of Your Weed

Smell Proof Storage

The first thing you should consider when trying to mask the smell of your stash, is to consider how your storing your weed. Traditional Ziploc bags don't do a great job at concealing the smell of the weed inside.

A great way to conceal the smell of your pot is to use a smell proof container or bag.

Option #1: Smell Proof Bags

Smell proof bags are something I first started using when I was in high school. Many of my friends had gotten caught with weed in their lockers due to the Ziploc bags they stored their weed inside, so I picked up some smell proof bags.

I'd recommend buying the Deadbolt brand because some the other kind I tried ("Smelly proof" bags to be specific) we're not durable at all.

The zip part would always break. However with Deadbolt bags, they literally last forever.

Option #2: Smell Proof Containers

I've purchased plenty of smell proof containers over the years. Storing weed in bags isn't ideal if you like your nugs to stay intact. 

The Herb Guard is a smell proof container that is supposed to keep your herbs fresh for months by protecting them from UV light. 

I decided to give it a go since I was sick and tired of getting shake in the bottom of every sack of weed I was purchasing. When you smoke as much as I do, it really adds up.

I purchased the 1oz Herb Guard from Amazon for less than $25 bucks and so far I'm really impressed. It does a fantastic job at hiding the smell of weed. My girlfriend even mentioned that my apartment doesn't smell like weed as much as it used to.

So I know it's working well.

It's also great for transporting weed too whenever I buy a new sack. It prevents the smell of weed in my car, which is always a pain in the butt to get rid of. 

Tips For Smoking Weed Inside

Tip #1: Use a Sploof

If you've never heard of a sploof before, let me quickly break it down.

A sploof is a device that you can make yourself, or purchase for under $20 that you exhale your toke through. When you exhale your hit of weed through a sploof, the smell and smoke get stuck inside of it. It's a great way to smoke weed inside your home without your room mates knowing.

You can make your own sploof pretty easily if you own dryer sheets, elastic bands or tape, and a toilet paper roll. All of these items can be purchased at your local grocery store for under $5. 

I've actually created an in-depth guide that explains how to create several different types of sploofs, you can read it here.

 

Tip #2: Or a Sploofy

I recently upgraded from making my own sploof's to purchasing the Sploofy

It's essentially a professionally made sploof that is made of plastic. It filters the smell of weed much better than a traditional sploof, since it uses a carbon filter.

Since homemade sploofs don't completely mask the smell of weed, I'd highly recommend the Sploofy. Since it does a really good job, and leaves virtually no smell at all.

Especially if you live somewhere that you're absolutely not allowed to smoke at, but you need to since you're a pot head like myself ? 

Getting Rid of The Weed Smell

Once you've smoked in your car or house you're left with a completely different problem. The smell of burnt weed.

The smell will stick to wherever you happen to be smoking, not to mention it will also be noticeable on your breath and your hands (especially if you're smoking a joint, which are notoriously bad for stinking up your breathe and hands).

Whether you smoke inside your house or your car, you're left with the same problem. How are you going to get rid of the smell of burnt weed?

In Your Home (or Car)

If you've just smoked up inside your house or your car (hopefully you used a sploof), but lets say you didn't. What can you do?

The first thing you should do is open the windows. This might sound obvious, but you should do it anyways if you haven't already.

Next you should use an air freshener like Febreeze if you have some laying around (again, super obvious). I personally started buying a product called Agent 420 that is a spray designed specifically for weed (might sound obvious based on it's name).

This is what the bottle looks like, to the right.

It works much better at covering up the smell of weed in a room than Febreeze or any other air freshener I've tried. Although to be fair, I've never spent more than $20 on air freshener. 

The Agent 420 will run you just under $20 on Amazon depending on whether or not the price goes up or down, which you can check here.

This product saved my ass big time when my landlord came over a few months back. 

On Your Breathe

Masking the smell of marijuana on your breathe is pretty easy to do. It's really as simple as brushing your teeth, using mouthwash, and ideally chewing gum afterwards.

If after all of that, you can still smell weed on your breathe, please send me an email because I would like to speak with your dealer and pick up an ounce of whatever it is you're smoking. 

In all seriousness though, after all that I highly doubt there will be weed on your breathe.

On Your Clothes

This is going to sound super basic, and I can't believe I'm even writing this, but the best way to get the smell of weed off your clothes is to wash them... I bet I just blew you away with that tip. Your welcome. 

On Your Hands

Again, another basic tip. What I do to get the smell of a joint off my hands is to use hand sanitizer, then wash my hands afterwards. Then repeat the process until the smell of weed is off my hands.

Conclusion

Well there you have it, that's basically everything I know about getting rid of the smell of weed. Hopefully you we're able to learn something from this article to hide the smell of your weed.
