To wish that there was a smoking weed that didn't smell

Just that really, I like a spliff now and then but don't like smoking it in a cupboard nor outside and bothering my neighbours.

YANBU - given all the efforts put into growing weed, it's not much to ask for a non-smelly type.

YABU - for whatever reason.

The best way to avoid the smell is to comply with the law and not take illegal drugs.

Can’t you get vapes now or is that just some of the US?

romdowa · 21/04/2021 00:08

I'd love it if this exsisted. My neighbours love nothing more than spending sunny weekends in their garden smoking and if I have washing out it ends up stinking and has to be rewashed.

You can indeed now get vapes, from around £30 upwards. And you just vape the weed, no need for liquids.

Tabooandlemonade · 21/04/2021 00:14

You can get vapes in the UK. They are great, I know some medical cannabis patients who use them here.

RiojaRose · 21/04/2021 00:15

I remember how weed used to smell in the 1970s. Why can’t we get that any more?

I don’t smoke weed but I hate the smell these days. I used to like it.

TheHateIsNotGood · 21/04/2021 00:21

Thanks *romdowa^ that's the sort of situation that I want to avoid, I have to say, spliff has got a lot more stinky in recent years.

Much as I can agree with claw i still don't class a spliff in your home as a very nefarious matter, very like most law enforcement officers. There's so many ways to relax and release tension, mine's a spliff, what's yours?

Just want to smoke a spliff without bothering anyone,

CBD isn't identical to a spliff, but its legal and odourless. I vape to help control a movement disorder, it works better than the Botox I can get on the NHS and with fewer side effects.

TheHateIsNotGood · 21/04/2021 00:28

hirples any direction you can point me to please? I got a Snoop Dog a few years ago but it was just a mini-cooker in a vape tube - put me right off and it's been yer old fashioned spliff since.

I use a vape machine and oil I bought from Tesco. You can get stronger oil online.

RightYesButNo · 21/04/2021 00:41

The ability to cut down on smell and smoke cannabis discreetly is actually a big selling point for those that use vaping at any age. You’ll find many articles online about the “best” vapes for producing minimal scent. Though this article is from the US, I suspect most items are hopefully available here in the UK, if you just Google them: www.vaporplants.com/blog/5-best-vaporizers-for-discreet-vaping-with-minimized-smell
Also, according to others, vaping oil instead of dried herb may lessen the smell. Something to consider.
Good luck.

It's the THC that I like, not CBD, there's so many other things, mostly pharma-marketed, that other people regularly take that makes THC look like it was created from a litter of kittens sleeping on my lap.

I did not notice MN has been tagged in that link lol!

HirplesWithHaggis · 21/04/2021 00:56

PS, keep the weed you have vaped, it can still be smoked in a spliff with decent effect, or used in cooking. Very economical. Grin

AmberItsACertainty · 21/04/2021 01:08

I had to vote YABU. Because whilst it would be great to not have to smell it, the fact is it lingers and doesn't seem to dissipate in the air like traffic fumes or cigarette smoke. I don't enjoy being high off my neighbours weed habit (I've lived in some horrible places in the past) but at least if I can smell it I have the option of going out to prevent that happening. Obviously what I'd prefer is to be able to live in my own home without someone else drugging me. Where I live now is lovely, thankfully. But I think it's a basic to not have to leave your own home and stay outside it for hours to prevent your neighbors making you high. If I couldn't even smell it that would be a problem.

You got high off your neighbor’s 2nd hand drift?

Twirl96 · 21/04/2021 02:01

I know what you mean. I don’t smoke it anymore but I quite like the smell of it but god you can smell it from miles away. Not much to really say to help but some neighbours don’t mind it. In fact they may want to join you lol.

Mowly75 · 21/04/2021 02:31

Vape, yes. Ccell palm battery & cartridges or a linx for flower. As Haggis says, keep the vaped stuff & make edibles ...

Rainbows89 · 21/04/2021 02:45

Edibles?

Although I live in Canada where it’s legal so there are all manner of edibles, drinks, patches, etc for sale.

Lol weed is not illegal anymore!
HirplesWithHaggis · 21/04/2021 03:32

It is illegal in the UK.

AmberItsACertainty · 21/04/2021 03:36

Yes, unless I left the flat. I literally couldn't choose whether to be in my own home or not, it was dictated by the bastard neighbours weed habit. It was a fucking nightmare. I've lived in two places like that. In flats it comes up through the floor if your downstairs neighbour smokes it. You can't even open a window because if they've got a window open it'll come out of theirs and into yours. Weed smoking is such an antisocial habit. I don't think any other drug forces others in the vicinity to breathe it and be affected by it (excluding cigarettes/cigars which are #1 legal and #2 banned everywhere public and enclosed).
imapenguinlover · 21/04/2021 03:48

I burn incense while I'm smoking and it smells lovely.

Onesailwait · 21/04/2021 03:51

Oh you should come to Canada for a visit😉. You can get vapes (THC) for either flower or oil. Gummies, chocolate, tea, capsules & drinks.Thr selection is massive. I'm currently enjoying a sparkling sour cherry with 10mg of THC.
