Tau · 01/03/2013 15:57 We are trying to sell our house, which isn't going well at all, and since a few days we have an added problem: the house smells very strongly of weed (aka pot, marihuana, cannabis). The smell comes and goes, and is currently the strongest in the main bedroom. Sometimes it can be smelled outside too.
No one in our house smokes or grows it (Yes, I am sure my son is not the culprit - the smell is worst when he is in school anyway.) I doubt it's the next door neighbours because the current neighbours are the third set we've had and they can't ALL have been heavy pot smokers! They don't seem the type anyway. I've read that a plant called phlox can smell like that, but we
don't have that plant and so far I cannot see it in any of the neighbours' gardens either. So, what could be causing this smell?

Ah, Colorado. Our state is home to the gorgeous Rocky Mountains, fresh air, four seasons, tons of wildlife, and…pot. Love it or hate it, the legalization of marijuana has stimulated our economy and it isn’t likely to go anywhere anytime soon. The thing about marijuana… well, one thing… is that it has its own distinct odor. As you likely know, cannabis is a flower. Because one of the primary functions of a flower is to generate terpenes (aromatic chemicals designed to attract pollinators), you can naturally expect it to carry a pungent smell. That odor only increases when the plant is crushed up, lit on fire, and smoked – and it’s actually pretty darn hard to mask or cover up! Maybe you or a family member has been smoking marijuana indoors. Perhaps you’re thinking about moving into a new home where the previous occupants were pot smokers. Or it could be that, as a landlord, you’re constantly dealing with tenants who are lighting up inside your properties. Whatever the case may be, you’re probably frustrated with the lingering scent and are looking for a way to get rid of it – for good. Here are a few things you should know, along with some steps you can take to banish the odor of marijuana from your house. Things to KnowAs you think about taking steps to rid your home of the smell of pot, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Why do I smell weed out of nowhere?In short, randomly smelling weed can come from multiple places and pinning down the source can be difficult. From the most obvious, someone having a toke near you, to something random like a plant or associative smell. Either way, you're likely not imagining something.
Why does my house randomly smell like smoke?Smoke-like smell in house
“If you only smell it once in awhile, like when using a particular light or appliance, it could be electrical smoke behind a wall or in a ceiling light fixture—and that could be very dangerous,” says Lesh. Call your fire department or an electrician right away.
Can you smell weed through walls?Though the smell won't travel through walls, it has a habit of slipping into every open window and crack, making smoking in a house or apartment a tricky affair for those looking to remain discreet. So if your neighbours next door have good noses, or simply don't support marijuana, you may want to be cautious.
How far does the smell of weed travel?By weed smoke, we mean the pungent aroma. The smoke itself dissolves within a matter of seconds and meters, but the aromatic molecules can travel up to 82ft. Both clear and windy days make it difficult for aromatic molecules to travel. On clear days, the aromas will linger upward to around 10 meters (32ft).
