Moms and Cannabis Smells in the Car
By Emily Rhodes, Product R&D Lead at Modest & Co.
TL;DR
Weed smell in your car? You’re not alone. Cannabis odor lingers in upholstery, vents, and air filters. Our plant-based spray (Obsidian Sky) helps moms stay fresh between sessions and school pickups—without the chemicals or judgment.
Why It Sticks
Cannabis terpenes are lipophilic—they cling to oils, plastics, and fibers like car seats and headliners. That hotbox scent? It settles into fabrics and cycles through your HVAC vents long after you’ve aired it out.
We Get It, You’re Busy
Between daycare drop-offs, errands, and late-night smoke sessions in the garage, your car takes the hit. Most sprays make it worse by layering floral chemicals on top of the funk.
What Works (And Won’t Burn Your Nose)
✅ Spray the Right Way
We recommend Obsidian Sky Odor Killa Spray—a real, plant-based product that disarms odors instead of masking them.
Car Protocol
- 1 spray under each front seat
- 1 spray into your front air vent (while the car is on recirculate)
- Optional: 1 mist into floor mats or cloth headrests
Real-World Use
“I used to keep Ozium in the glove box—until my kid asked why the car smelled like chemicals. Now I use Obsidian Sky. One spray under the seat and the smell is just... gone. Clean, not floral.” — Renee, Austin
Safe, Clean, Non-Toxic
- No aerosols, phthalates, or parabens
- Fabric-safe (tested on leather and cloth interiors)
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Subtle scent profile that blends—not fights—with cannabis
Bonus Hack: DIY Freshness
- Mix equal parts white vinegar + water in a spray bottle
- Add 5 drops lemon essential oil (optional)
- Mist footwells and seats lightly, then open all doors for 5–10 minutes
One Last Thing
This isn’t about shame. It’s about control. You shouldn’t have to choose between being a responsible mom and a cannabis consumer. We make space for both.
