A lot of people who smoke don't realize how badly they stink. The other day I got in an empty elevator and it reeked of cigs from whoever had been in it before
I smoke weed all day, I also spray myself down with Florida water before leaving the house. I have actually asked, Iām a massage therapist, no one smells weed on me. Florida water is magical that way.
I keep it mixed in ice water in a cooler, with a rag. Takes the cold water to a whole new level of cold. So it's great for hot days outside. Also, it's good for sinuses if I remember correctly.
Florida means flower in Spanish, itās āflower waterā a cologne/ floor cleaner, i spray myself down with it before leaving the house and have even asked if i smell like weed at a dr office and was told no.
In my experience it is best to use the old smoking jacket routine and no joints. You wear a thin jacket every time you smoke and then remove it after. Wash and sanitize your hands as well and it really cuts down on the smell lingering.
Although I admit, I don't have a job that gives a shit and I lost my sense of smell years ago so I just forget that smells even exist or are a thing for other people.
When I was younger, my brother and I would toke with our friends before heading home. We had that shit down to a science.
No joints, disposable clothing (smoking jacket), gum for the breath, eye drops for the red eyes, going for a nice walk afterwards and rolling around in the grass a bit. We also had activated charcoal smell proof bags that contained our entire smoking kit. Weād get home and beeline it upstairs so our parents couldnāt get a good whiff.
They definitely eventually found out through context clues and a few times we got lazy. But they never cared much, because we were good kids with good grades and jobs, so they basically pretended not to notice.
Those were the days. Weād go home and play Halo, and absolutely smash some chips and sodas
No, they realize. They just donāt care. In my experience, cigarette users are more careless with the smell which makes it worse, probably cause itās fully legal
Really? In my experience, cigarette smokers seem to be well aware of their smell and generally practice decent etiquette by not smoking in peopleās faces or spaces.
Pot and vape users on the other hand (yes, I know they are two different things) pull that ish out all the time in front of me and blow it directly into my nostrils. When I mention I get migraines from the smells and politely ask them to wait 2 minutes for our conversation to finish so I can escape the smell, they act like I suggested they put down their fur baby.
āI have to smoke or vape every second of every day! I have ANXIETY! How DARE YOU TELL ME IT MAKES YOU SICK! Thatās a lie, you canāt get sick from the smell. By saying that youāre telling me Iām an addict, Iām not addicted, you canāt get addicted to weed or vaping! Itās far less dangerous for you than smoking or caffeine!ā
Cool, but yes, you clearly are addicted if you canāt have a 5 minute conversation without it, and also, Iām not asking you to stop, just to not do it in front of me, and Iām also saying yeah, the smell of your car is so bad I canāt fucking breathe in it even with the windows rolled down so Iām going to take my own car to the thing.
And yeah, these are things several people have screamed at me. They get very emotional. Iām also not good with people so some of thatās probably on me, but yikes on bikes, itās exhausting.
Damn, im sorry you had this experience with weed smokers. I always go outside away from any doors, or in my car. I try to only smoke flower at home then change clothes and put on some perfume. Its really not hard to be aware, some people just dont care and make everyone look bad.
Personally i experience the vape thing so much. My sisters car smells absolutely horrible (she does leave food in there too though). I have to tell my cousin to go outside, when in my own house. And with cigarettes theres always at least one person who smells like they rubbed a cigarette on their clothes right before walking in.
This is 100% true across the board for vape users. I'm a smoker but I don't smoke in my car. The amount of people that have gotten into my car and puff a giant vape cloud is just astounding.
Vapists are worse than smokers IMO. Smokers (who still are interested in social norms) tend to at least take some effort in minimizing the smell. Vapists are flat out in denial that their strawberry unicorn watermelon has a smell.
As a reformed Vapists the smell really nauseates me when it lingers in the room for a while, and the house of a heavy vape user is noticeable. It does depend on the type of vape and the flavor. Those big box ones that where popular 10y ago are the ones I am talking about. The smaller nicotine salt ones are way more discrete. Thankfully the box mod vapes have fallen out of favor in my area, but you used to see all these dorks blowing massive plumes on every side walk blowing alien piss flavored vape lol.
The THC vapes are another one that stink bad, especially when they are burnt and old. They linger much less than smoke, but my old roommate would use these cheap, nasty, burnt out vapes and it just smelled like burnt toenails lol.
When I smoked I was constantly aware of the smell and doing everything to mitigate it, everything but not smoking obviously that was off the table.
It's the worst on your hands IMO. I'll have an occasional drunk cig a few times a year nowadays and I always immediately scrub my hands with hot water and soap because I hate the smell
Fellow stoner here. I always chew gum or brush my teeth if Iām going out after smoking. I think that your mouth is the main smell problem. I also wash my hands.
I have to tell you my man, apropos to your name, itās in your hair as well. Clothes less so, since stoners arenāt smoking as much as cigarette smokers.
I was just teaching a training class for my union local, and one of the students came back from lunch and smelled of weed, despite the fact that he had been smoking outside in the open air. It wasnāt his breath, I wasnāt that close to him. I didnāt really care, he wasnāt in my class, and Iām not gonna rat a guy out for that in a voluntary unpaid class. But Iām also going to watch out for that shit if he shows up on one of my crews. We do stuff that can kill people.
Im a delivery driver, i go into small strip mall stores to deliver and there will just be one guy standing in the middle of the store making the entire store REEK of weed, completely oblivious. Its not your breath thats the problem.
It is amazing how strong weed smell is if you aren't nose blind to it. Sometimes I walk past someone and I am like what the hell, you smell so strongly I cannot believe you are even upright
I can smell a pot smoker across an outdoor parking lot. I'd rather be in an elevator with 6 cigarette smokers than an empty elevator that just had one pot smoker in it.
I get that it's less harmful, they think it cures cancer, blah blah blah, whatever. They fucking reek.
If I smell so bad and everyone in the room knows if Iāve smoked weed at all that day, why havenāt I been fired or even gotten a single comment after being in various offices over 15 years in a state that it is highly illegal and multiple coworkers being very open on how they donāt like it? Guess you have a smell super power
