Why does my husband's clothes cupboard smell of cannabis?

It stinks. One of our cats often sleeps in there. But it just smells of weed. It's awful. There are no drugs in there. What could be giving off this odour? Help!

Could it be coming through the wall from next door?

Charis1 · 26/08/2015 21:50

is he smoking cannabis?

ASAS · 26/08/2015 21:50

I'm afraid it's either your husband or (assuming the clothes are hanging there after being washed, dried and ironed) your neighbours.

wickedlazy · 26/08/2015 21:53

Your hubby is smoking it, or someone is smoking it around him.

Notgrumpyjustquiet · 26/08/2015 21:54

They'd have to be farming massive quantities of it next door for the smell to be coming through the walls not that I know very much about it . And into your OH wardrobe but nowhere else? I don't think so. Are you sure it's not a leetle bit of cat wee?

wickedlazy · 26/08/2015 21:55

The smell of weed is not strong enough to go through a dividing wall. And the smell wouldn't be limited to his clothes. Does he have a yellow stain on the second or third finger of dominant hand? (Could indicate smoking joints).

Passmethecrisps · 26/08/2015 21:56

It is cat wee.

It your husband smokes weed without you knowing.

Likely wee

wickedlazy · 26/08/2015 21:56

Cat wee smells like the perixide in hair dye. Weed very different sort of smell (like, well, weeds...)

HellKitty · 26/08/2015 21:57

Could your cat be dealing?

Or cat wee.

wickedlazy · 26/08/2015 21:57

Peroxide*

wickedlazy · 26/08/2015 21:59

Could the cat be being fed by somone who smokes weed around him/her, and bringing the smell home and into the wardrobe?

SpaggyBollocks · 26/08/2015 22:01

it's the cat.

probably started with catnip and now it's in too deep.

coveredinsnot · 26/08/2015 22:06

Cat wee smells vastly different to weed, imo. We live in a detached house so definitely not the neighbours! My dh doesn't smoke weed as if he did I'd know, we're very open with each other and I wouldn't care much if he wanted to smoke it occasionally so no reason to be secretive about it.

Our cupboards actually join together but it's only his that stinks.

He is generally clean, clothes are all clean, the only unclean thing in there really is the cat, who doesn't smell of weed.

More ideas please!

Is there any damp? Could be on back on wardrobe etc? I had damp in my drawers somehow and I find that musty smell reminds me of the smell of weed. I took out and washed all the clothes, cleaned the drawers with bleach and left to dry in the sun, now the chest of drawers isnt touching the wall the damp problem has stopped

wickedlazy · 26/08/2015 22:12

Does it smell like stale weed? Sometimes stale sweat can smell a bit similar. Is he putting dirty things back in cupboard for another day, and they're stinking it out?

serin · 26/08/2015 22:15

Is it his trainers? Or clothes that have been put away unwashed?

Or maybe mould on the back of the wardrobe?

DeathstarDame · 26/08/2015 22:15

Perhaps the cat has spayed in there?Cat spay and cats are have a very strong odour.

To the poster who said cannabis doesn't smell strongly enough to come through a dividing wall, my neighbour smokes cannabis in his bedroom and we can often smell it in our bedroom next door, very strongly too ????

Eternalsunshines · 26/08/2015 22:20

Cat wee smells like cannabis.

coveredinsnot · 26/08/2015 22:21

There is a good chance the cat could have pissed in there. She used to love pissing on everything when we go her as a kitten last year. However now I'm thinking mould - the room does have a bit of a mould issue which we have cleared up where it was visible. Now I'm thinking there's probably hidden mould inside the cupboard. What joy.

Does your cat have a second home he hangs out in where they smoke weed and it clings to his fur? WinkGrin

NorksAreMessy · 26/08/2015 22:25

Does your DH cupboard contain any of the following

A) a skunk?
B) a Birkin handbag from the batch that smelled of weed?
C) marigolds?

coveredinsnot · 26/08/2015 22:26

Either that or the cat is dealing. She does often get into fights. Could explain a lot.

Is his cupboard the door to Narnia, I heard that there's a weird spliffy smoking queen who resides there
