Not everyone has the luxury of smoking cannabis freely whenever and wherever they like, which leaves most people sneaking up a smoking session in their bathroom. Many people think leaving the hot water running while smoking will do the trick of leaving the bathroom and themselves without the smell of weed.

 

Even if you smoke in the steamiest bathroom, it doesn’t guarantee an odor-free smoke session. But don’t worry, this doesn't mean it’s impossible to smoke in the bathroom and not smell. This article will take you through how you can smoke in the shower and other tips to hide the smell of marijuana in your bathroom.

How to Smoke in the Shower?

So, the best way to sneak up on a smoking session might not be ideal. If not done right, smoking in the bathroom can still make the bathroom, and yourself smell like weed or cigarette. 

But don’t worry. There are still some foolproof ways to smoke in the shower without smelling like cannabis. If you still want you and the bathroom to smell ‘normal’ after a smoke session, here is how you can do it.

1. Open the Window and Put a towel under the Door

Start by opening the window for ventilation to ensure that the smoke escapes out of the bathroom. If you are worried about the smoke escaping into other rooms, stuffing a towel under the door will do the trick. 

2. Let the Hot Water Run

Before you even smoke, let the hot water run and make the room steamy. Steam is a great way to neutralize the odor of the weed. Running hot water might not totally eliminate the smell of the weed, but doing so will help you neutralize and ease the smell of marijuana. After you let the hot water run, wait for about 5 mins for the bathroom to get steamed up.

3. Turn on the Bathroom Fan

When you want to eliminate the lingering smell of weed, you must ensure that all the smoke gets out of the bathroom as soon as possible. Get a bathroom fan and palace it near the window, facing outside, to let it suck out all the smoke from the bathroom. If you have a bathroom air purifier, ensure it is turned on before smoking.

4. Light Up and Enjoy!

Now that you have prepared to smoke in your shower, you can just light up and enjoy your cannabis.

5. Get Rid of the Residue

When smoking, especially in a steamy bathroom, there might be weed residue on the bathroom floors. You want to clean the bathroom floors properly if you suspect any smell of weed lingering.

 

Not just the bathroom residue, but also clear out the residue of the weed you just smoked. Don’t keep the pipe or the joint’s end in your pocket.

Tips to Hide the Smell of Marijuana

Just knowing how you can smoke in the shower is not enough to hide the smoke of marijuana. So, let me take you through some of the tested tips to eliminate the smell of weed from yourself and the bathroom.

• Open the Window

As I have mentioned ahead, Opening the WIndow might be the most obvious tip to hide the smell of Marijuana. When you smoke in the bathroom, you don’t want to trap the smell of the weed inside the bathroom. You should open the Windows and let the bathroom breathe. Letting in the fresh air and letting out the marijuana smoke outside of the window is also a great way to let go of the smell of Marijuana. Although opening the window isn’t just enough to completely hide the Smell of marijuana, it surely does the majority of the job.

Ensuring proper ventilation will let the smell out and fresh air in quickly. You can also use portable fans and face them toward the window to suck out all the remaining smoke or smell of the marijuana.

• Use Vinegar to Neutralize the Smell

Sometimes, proper might not be enough to neutralize the strong odor of cannabis. The bathroom might still have the sharp smell of marijuana. If you still can smell the marijuana or tobacco in your bathroom after some time of smoking, you can do a vinegar scrub to neutralize the smell.

Vinegar is a great cleaning agent with a sharp pungent smell that will neutralize even the strongest smells.

You can either do a quick vinegar pour to clean your bathroom after smoking or do a quick vinegar scrub if you still have the smell lingering. 

• Air Purifier

Using an Air Purifier in your bathroom is a great way to neutralize the smell of marijuana. Air purifiers won’t likely fix the smell of marijuana in the fabrics, but if you have an air purifier, it could remove the smell of Marijuana present in the air.

Investing in an Air Purifier might be quite a costlier way to eliminate the smell of marijuana. But, hey, it also helps you eliminate bacteria and germs in your bathroom by taking care of any false smell.

 

Getting an actual bathroom air purifier with a HEPA filter, UV light, and charcoal will ensure your bathroom is not just free of marijuana smell. Still, it will maintain a better bathroom by taking care of false odors, bacteria, and germs and help with ventilation.

• Pay Attention to the Curtains

Curtains or other fabrics in your bathroom are one of the main culprits for the lingering smell of marijuana in your bathroom. They absorb the majority of the smell of the smoke, which can get pretty challenging to remove.

 

If you have curtains or other fabrics in your bathroom, you surely want to pay attention to them. If it is possible, you can remove all the fabrics in your bathroom before smoking. If removing them is not an option, you have to clean the property to neutralize the smell of cannabis. 

 

And yes, fabrics also mean the clothes you are wearing. So it is always better to smoke naked if you are worried about the smell lingering on your clothes. Since you are smoking in your bathroom, smoking naked might not be much of an issue anyway. 

 

To clean the fabrics, you can sprinkle baking soda and let it stay for 10 minutes, then wash. Even if the smell doesn’t go away, you can use the vinegar mixture we prepared earlier and clean the curtains thoroughly to remove the odor. 

 

Let the fabrics sit with baking soda and/or vinegar for about 30 mins to an hour, and wash it with lukewarm water to completely get the smell of cannabis out of your curtains, rugs, or other fabrics you have in your bathroom.

 

• Use a Vape

Vape is quite new to the cannabis community, and people are still unsure about smoking cannabis using a vape. But if you are specifically worried about the smell, using a vape might be a great alternative. 

 

Using vape is an ideal way if your main concern is the smell. Vape also is a healthier option to consume cannabis than smoking it. You can use different juices in vape to create a more fruit or floral smell(depending on the flavor). 

 

But do research properly about vape, there are different types of vaping with/without THC, and most of them have nicotine. So do your research, and you can get a THC vape juice for your vape that you can smoke without worrying about the smell.

Myths about Smoking in the Bathroom

Many people have been following their own tricks to smoke weed in their bathrooms. Some work, and some do not. So, here are the two most popular tips to smoke in the bathroom that are myths.

• Stuffing Doors and Windows with Towels

Stuffing Doors and Windows with Towels is a good way to prevent the smoke from going to other rooms, but it is a temporary fix. When you remove the towel, all the smoke in the bathroom will flow into the other parts of your home. 

 

When using a towel to trap the doors, you are trapping all the odor in the towel, which will linger for some time. So, if you are using towels, make sure you clean them properly afterward.

 

Focus on having better ventilation or investing in an air purifier that can properly take out the smoke and get in the fresh air. In that way, you don’t necessarily have to stuff your doors; even if you do, there is no risk of the odor escaping into other rooms when you take out the towels.

• Pouring Shampoo in the Bathtub and Running Hot Water Over It

Many people think filling the bathroom with a better smell will help neutralize the smell of cannabis. Using hot water and shampoo will surely make your bathroom smell good, but it might not eliminate the smell. The smell of shampoo might not last long, and chances are that the weed odor will still linger in the bathroom even after the smell of the shampoo is over. 

 

You can either use a strong smell to neutralize it and use better ventilation to get out the smoke rather than using shampoo and hot water to eliminate the smell of the weed.
