How to hide a whiff of your yuletide high.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Well, if you enjoy cannabis products, that joy can also come on sunny days in September or meh mornings in March. But the Christmas season is when most families and friends—religious, secular, or somewhere in-between—come together to celebrate with shiny tinsel, stuffed stockings, and warm egg nog.
Since the only thing close to blazin’ is Santa’s reindeer, Blitzin, a lot of us would enjoy taking a toke by the tree, but not everyone’s folks would be cool with that. Despite most states legalizing medical marijuana, and half the country letting it fly recreationally, there are still many places where it’s banned. And even where it is okay, many people may not want it in their day-to-day lives. The long tail of the “Just Say No” era leaves a stench of pathologization around the smell of weed.
You love your folks, but your yummy flower fragrance or vape vapor is their yuck. Here are some ways to keep those delicious aromas out of their nostrils and let them linger in your lungs, where they delight you the most.
Scent? What scent?
When storing your stash, a great way to avoid the intense aroma and make sure your treasure stays secret is to keep the funky flower in a Staze Preserve.
Staze smell-proof containers use a vacuum-sealed technology that removes the air around your buds, which keeps the odors inside. It’s durable and portable so you can take it around without worrying about it leaking. It’s also light and discreet, so you can carry it easily wherever you go. And best of all, it keeps your flower fresh, blocking it from air and moisture, which would degrade it.
And best of all, if you’re keeping it around for Christmas morning, the only terpenes anyone in your brood will be smelling is the pinene on the pine tree.
Bouquet, be gone!
It’s too late. You already smoked. You couldn’t help yourself. The allure of the perfect nugs you have beckoning to be blazed was too seductive.
But now some scent seems to be settling in. And you’ll be the suspect. What to do?
Fret not. You’ve got Hippie Love Smoke Odor Exterminator Spray.
This strong spray is the natural enemy of lingering odors that won’t quit. It uses a proprietary enzyme formula to neutralize smoke, pet, and other stubborn smells instead of just covering them up. So it’s useful for a variety of scents you might want to banish.
It’s an American-made product that’s sold in over 30 scents, giving you lots of options for replacing the odor of your exhales. And while we suggest using it to avoid ruining your non-cannabis relatives’ Christmas cheer, you can also give it a spritz in your car, home, workspace, or anywhere else you pull a hit.
Flame and wick, squash it quick.
If you’re afraid that your green Christmas is about to turn your family’s white Christmas into a blue Christmas, then consider getting ahead of the clouds.
Beamer Candles, which are owned by Smoke House Distribution, are the perfect panacea for eliminating stubborn odors. Available in many flavors and forms, a Beamer Candle can fill a room with a pleasant scent and, while you’re puffing away, keep it smelling that way. It overwhelms the evidence of your exciting puffs.
But what if you already took a drag and the potent pot has started settling into the woodwork? Just light up one of those Beamers and let the wax do its job. Let its smoke and scent replace yours and enjoy your holiday high without worrying if someone in your family will make you feel low.
Gratify the Grinch.
Sometimes the best move is the boldest move. What if your mom would never inhale anything, but she’d love a tasty gummy? Could your dad swap out a scotch for a delicious THC drink? Maybe that sister or brother is looking for a new way to have a holly jolly Christmas, but they’d need an extra nudge. And you’ve got just the right nug.
It might not work for everyone, and in some situations, it could backfire. But if you see an opening, a chance to get someone to try a new kind of candy cane on the tree, give it a shot.
If you get that opportunity to transform Christmas into a much dreamier winter wonderland, one in which Santa’s elves fill his sleigh with canisters of cannabinoids, then congrats! You’re in luck. But even if the whole family lights up in order to really enjoy the holiday ham, they may want to make sure the house doesn’t absorb its funky aromas.
So whether it’s just you having some solo smoking time or you’re part of a festive group that gives each other a little ganja, check out some of those products that let you spark up your late December evenings while keeping the home smelling fresh.
