Hiding Cannabis Use at Home — A Scent Strategy for Moms
By Emily Rhodes, Product R&D Lead at Modest & Co.
TL;DR
Want to enjoy cannabis without broadcasting it? Use this 3-step spray protocol: 2 sprays before, 2 after, 1 at the vent. Pair it with a candle for bonus coverage. Safe for moms, kids, and shared homes. Fresh, not fake.
Why Cannabis Odor Lingers
Terpenes (the smell compounds in cannabis) are volatile and cling to soft materials—towels, pillows, laundry, carpet. They settle deep and circulate through vents. That’s why scent sticks around long after smoke disappears—especially in small or shared homes.
Lab fact: Our formula, tested with SPME-GC analysis, reduces cannabis odor by 82% in under 10 minutes.
Spray Protocol
- 2 sprays into air, 5 minutes before
- 2 sprays immediately after, toward corners
- 1 spray near return air vents or portable fans
- Reapply only if needed after 30–60 mins
Room-by-Room Strategy
🛁 Bathroom
- Spray once near towel zones with Obsidian Sky Spray
- Crack the window or run the fan
- Light Sativa Diva Candle 5–10 minutes before
🛏️ Bedroom
- 1–2 sprays into curtains or soft goods
- Open the window or run a purifier
- Optional: Indica Girl Candle for relaxing scent layering
🧺 Laundry Room / Garage
- Spray once in walkways or clutter zones
- Burn a candle (max 2–4 hours) if safe to do so
DIY Fixes for Emergencies
- Vinegar Mist: 1 cup white vinegar + 1 cup water. Mist corners and air it out.
- Simmer Citrus: Orange peel + cinnamon sticks in water on the stove.
- Cedar Chips: Place in pouches or drawers.
- Baking Soda Sachets: Fill socks or cloth bags. Set them in odor-heavy zones.
