I hate smelling like pot!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 05-27-2009, 12:46 PM

As many of you know, I have an application turned in for my own apartment, but in the meantime, I'm living with roomates, one of whom smokes pot daily. That **** smells nasty, and no matter what I do, I can't get the smell away from me. I keep my clothes in an isolated place, but if I go upstairs for even a second, I get that skunky smell all over me, it's embarrassing. A few weeks ago, I was helping a friend of a friend move, and the guy said, can I have some of your pot?? I don't even smoke it, but from me just going upstairs that morning to make breakfast, I realized I wreaked of it, and all the sweating I was doing wasn't helping matters any. lol!! I guess I'm basically just venting, I just wish I would get my own apartment soon, because I can't stand smelling like cigarettes, and pot anymore. I can smell the pot as I write this, that **** lingers. Anyone else have a similar problem??

I've smoked pot a few times and enjoyed it, but I do agree that it can smell quite strong, and, in my opinion, also tastes horrible (but I like the relaxing effect.)

Is there any way that you could talk to your roommate about this problem and ask him if he could smoke outside of the apartment? Visiting guests usually smoke regular cigarettes outside - I know, in this case, that the person actually lives there, but if you explained the problem and asked him nicely to smoke outside, maybe he would be understanding?

When I worked in a movie theater, there were people (especially on weekends) who came in just reeking of pot.

That is one of the most horrible smells in the world. I know what you mean, Brad. Hopefully you can get out of that living situation soon.

My friend hated smelling like pot back in high school. She didn't smoke pot her but her older brother did. She basically learned how to mask the smell around areas of the house well. She used to buy a lot of jar scented candles. She burn the candles down and she would kept the left over dried up wax in the jar. Dried scented wax can very strong effect when it kept in closets, drawers etc. Her brother worked down the street from their house once he left to work she opened windows, turned fans, sprayer air freshner and did what she to get mask the smell.

Brad, I have to apologize before hand, but I thought this thread was going to be something totally different. I thought you were going to say that you liked smoking pot, but didn't like the smell it left behind. I was going to post, "Well, stop smoking pot than!"

Personally, I could never stand the smell of marijuana. It stinks, worse than cigarettes (and that is pretty bad!!!).

MickeyMac · 05-27-2009, 06:02 PM

If one is in the hands of good quality reefer it can smell pretty good. At the same time I can understand now wanting to smell like it for various reasons. Little Mel try talking to your roommates.

gidgetgrape · 05-27-2009, 09:37 PM

I wouldn't enjoy smelling like 1969 either. I hope you get your own digs soon.

OH Nuts! · 05-27-2009, 10:30 PM

My days of using pot are LONG GONE (25+ years) so I too hate the smell. I hope you get your own digs soon Brad!

Brad Russ · 05-27-2009, 11:05 PM

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. I've talked to him about his smoking many times, but he won't budge. He's a 47 year old man whose been doing this since age 11, and so he's pretty hard headed, and set in his ways. We did manage to get him to start smoking regular cigarettes outside, since my mom has had three heart surgeries, but not even that stops him, as the smoking outside thing only lasted a few weeks. And he can't smoke the pot outside in my neighborhood, because there always seems to be a cop on every corner. We've got major gang and drug activity in our neighborhood. All I can really do right now is hope that the apartments I applied for get to my name soon, and do as browneyes said, and try to mask the stench as best I can in the meantime. Thanks again for the comments everyone, they're appreciated.

A few weeks ago i stopped and asked for directions in the northend of hartford and the 2 guys who helped me reeked of pot. one was actually holding a joint in his hand and this was in broad daylight in public. i was going for an interview at the phlebotomy school and was so afraid i walked in smelling like pot. i tried to douse myself with perfume,

anyway, brad, in your bathrooms where you live do you have the vent fans. when my husband smokes cigarettes he'll go into the bathroom and put the fan on and it reduces the odor significantly if not completely.

That one guy sounds like a real winner!

Damn, that's a ****ty situation to be in Kim, and believe me, I know all about trying to mask the scent, and it's definitely not easy. We do have one of those bathrooms with a fan, but he's too lazy to even do that. He's just one of those hard headed guys who won't reason with anybody, as it's his way, or the highway. Being my mom's boyfriend, we can't just kick him out. He is totally unreasonable though, and it's worthless to even try and reason with him, because he thinks he can do no wrong. I know there are plenty of ways to deal with the situation, he just refuses to, and treats everyone else like their feelings mean nothing.

PunkyP0WER · 05-28-2009, 12:28 AM

i understand brad, i know a few hard headed people myself who don't consider others feelings.
