7 Ways to Reduce or Eliminate Cannabis Smell

1. Open a window

It may sound obvious, but it’s easy to get focused on the task at hand without considering the amount of natural airflow you have in the room. According to the EPA , bringing fresh air into a room is the fastest and more reliable way to dilute any pollutants in the air, which includes cannabis odor. They say: “Most home heating and cooling systems, including forced air heating systems, do not mechanically bring fresh air into the house. Opening windows and doors, operating window or attic fans, when the weather permits, or running a window air conditioner with the vent control open increases the outdoor ventilation rate.” If you have to puff indoors, make sure you’ve got maximum fresh air coming in first. It’s a simple trick with the best possible results.

2. Incense

All those hippies in the sixties were on to something. By lighting incense, the strong, natural scents of vanilla, sandalwood, cinnamon, and musk can easily overpower the odors from cannabis. Nag champa is a popular choice since it’s champa flower is delightful while also eliminating the smell of weed and any general smoke smell. Best of all, an incense typically burns itself out when it’s done so, unlike a scented candle, it doesn't need supervision after it’s lit.

3. Alternate modes of consumption

Maybe you have a crotchety neighbor that doesn’t revere the sacred herb the way you do. Bummer. In that case, any amount of dank stank is going to cause you problems. Rather than joints, bowls, bongs, or blunts, which all create plentiful plumes of stinky smoke, consider getting your groove on with another consumption method. Vaporizers are a more subtle option offering a low-key approach to getting high and there’s no shortage of options, sizes, and price points in this category. Another option: edibles. Although they can be more expensive, choosing a higher dosage and then cutting smaller portions can be an easy way to stretch the stash. It’s more cost-effective, presents a different head experience, and has zero aroma.

4. Air purifier

Technology is amazing, especially when it offers cannabis enthusiasts a plethora of basic air filtration devices. Some high-end brands  are so effective, they can “remove 99.9 percent of dust, pollen, smoke, odor, mold spores, and pet dander.” Not only will you get rid of the smoke and smell from weed, but you’ll likely be making the rest of the air in your house healthier too. Win-win!

5. Built-in ventilation

Without realizing it, you may already have a good-quality exhaust system installed in the building where you’re hoping to get your smoke on. This could be a bathroom with a strong fan and a dedicated output tube. Or it could be the fan above the stove. Chefs are notorious for waiting until the last customers leave before blazing up next to their cooking station. Those industrial fans above their ovens are powerful enough to suck up the biggest of exhales in a matter of seconds leaving only the aroma of fryer grease behind. It’s the same principle with many inside fans. Just make sure that you know where the air goes since some cheaper models only appear to push the air outdoors, but actually just move the air around in the same room.

6. Make a Sploof

Now we’re going really old-school. If a fancy air purifier is out of your budget, no worries. But if you MUST smoke inside, and you can’t open a window, you can create your own filtration system using a cardboard tube, a couple of dryer sheets, and a rubber band, with a quick video of assembly, found here  . The idea is simple: after you inhale, exhale into the open end of the tube and voilà, your exhale is Downy fresh. It may be rustic, but it gets the job done.

7. Get a carbon filter system

For those situations where it’s imperative not to attract ​any​ attention for “odor of marijuana” – a legal term used by police to allow them to search an area​ –​ it’s wise to consider a carbon filter system. These devices are popular with cannabis growers and use the same principle as an air purifier, with the addition of a serious internal upgrade called a carbon filter or sometimes a carbon scrubber. It’s basically a metal tube-shaped contraption filled with activated carbon granules. The fan attached to the filter sucks the stanky air in, cleans it through the filtration system, then returns clean air. The size you need and how often you change out the granules depends on the size of the room and how often the granules are used. Here’s a video on how to build and install one after you figured out how many fans you really need.

Delivery and in-store shopping are the two main ways people in the Bay Area legally buy cannabis. Each has clear trade-offs in convenience, selection, price, and privacy. This guide walks through how delivery works, what to expect inside a dispensary, and which option fits common needs, whether you’re buying flower , cartridges, or edibles. We’ll compare ordering online and receiving a delivery with walking into a storefront and talking to a budtender, note California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) rules and local differences across San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, and offer practical checklists for inspection, refunds, and deciding which channel to choose. Key Takeaways Weed delivery offers unmatched convenience and privacy for Bay Area shoppers who prefer online browsing and doorstep service. Dispensary visits provide hands-on inspection, instant purchase, and expert budtender guidance for personalized recommendations. Delivery suits buyers seeking discretion or time savings; in-store shopping is better for those who value quality checks and conversation. Always verify licenses and lab results under California DCC rules to ensure product safety and compliance. Compare all-in costs - taxes, delivery fees, and discounts - to decide which channel fits your needs and budget. What Are the Key Benefits and Drawbacks of Weed Delivery in the Bay Area? In the Bay Area, licensed cannabis delivery services take orders by phone or online and bring sealed, regulated products to your door within defined service areas and time windows. A verified order is routed to a licensed dispensary or courier, who confirms ID at handoff and follows local packaging and routing requirements. Delivery’s main advantages are convenience and discretion - no parking, no lines, and discreet packaging that reduces public exposure. Downsides include service-area limits, delivery fees and minimums, and the inability to physically inspect products before purchase. Those constraints affect whether delivery is the right choice for you. How Do Convenience and Privacy Make Weed Delivery Attractive? Delivery pairs online browsing with doorstep handoffs: you can compare menus and product pages from home and get same-day or scheduled service. That’s especially useful for people with limited mobility, tight schedules, or a strong preference for privacy. Discreet packaging and private delivery reduce public visibility, which matters in dense neighborhoods or for shoppers avoiding stigma. When using delivery, confirm the provider’s ID-check process, ask about tamper-evident packaging, and pick delivery windows that limit wait time, simple steps that protect quality while keeping things convenient. What Are the Common Challenges and Limitations of Cannabis Delivery? Delivery’s drawbacks tend to cluster around logistics, quality checks, and local rules. Some neighborhoods fall outside coverage zones or carry higher fees for longer distances, which can turn what looks like a convenient option into a costly one. Quality assurance is harder: buyers usually rely on photos, lab certificates, and reviews instead of touching or smelling products, and resolving disputes over freshness or defects can take longer. To reduce risk, ask for clear photos or lab-result snapshots before delivery, review return and refund policies, and combine items to meet minimums while lowering per-item delivery costs. For privacy-focused or time-pressed shoppers, delivery often makes sense. But because delivery limits hands-on inspection, it’s not always the best choice. What Should You Expect from the Bay Area Dispensary Shopping Experience?

Staying True to California’s Legacy Cultivation Traditions In an era where cannabis often feels industrialized and overly engineered, Burr’s Place stays rooted in the traditions that shaped California’s legacy cultivation culture. While massive indoor facilities chase yields and uniformity, this farm continues to grow cannabis the way it was always meant to be grown - outdoors, in the earth, under the sun, supported by living soil and a deep respect for the land. Their flower carries that story in every jar: the taste of real soil, the touch of real hands, and the spirit of a family that still works the land together. Why Sustainability Matters More Than Ever in Cannabis As consumers become more informed and more intentional about what they buy, sustainability has become more than a buzzword - it is an expectation. People want to know where their cannabis comes from, how it was grown, and whether the farm behind it operates with integrity. They want authenticity and transparency, but also a product that reflects care and craftsmanship. Burr’s Place has been living this philosophy long before it became a trend, proving that responsible cultivation isn’t a marketing tactic, it’s a way of life.
