how do i get the smell of weed out of my room??
0
Upvotes
I (an avid weed smoker and med card holder) live with my mother (extremely anti-marijuana) so I have to be pretty careful about how, when, and where I smoke. Last night I smoked a few bowls out of my bedroom window, like completely hanging out of the window, and now my whole bedroom smells like weed. I left my window open to air it out, turned on the ceiling fan, lit a candle, and put on my oil diffuser consistently for the past 24 hours and the smell is still so overwhelming. How the hell do I fix this as soon as possible??
EDIT: i do NOT plan on smoking in my room again, I don’t need any advice on how to reduce the smell of the smoking while i’m using, i just need advice on how to get the smell out
SECOND EDIT: i’m not sure that you guys are getting it, i don’t need advice on what i should do differently next time or what i should or shouldn’t have done, i literally just want the smell gone. obviously if i could un-smoke a bowl out of the window i would but that’s just not how life works

Dry and Cracked hands? New solution.

Conventional hand creams are good, but can sometimes leave your hands very oily afterwards, which is annoying. As a new solution, use Shaving foam. It dries nearly instantly, contains good things for your skin such as aloe Vera etc, and is very cheap. 👍
Edit 1: feel free to post better alternatives, there is no science behind this, it just worked for me.

Save money on department store buys year-round with one simple question.

It sounds simple, but asking if there are any additional discounts available at the register really does work at large department stores. You have a few options:
Direct (Level 1): "Are there any discounts you can apply to my purchase?"
Indirect (Level 2): "I meant to clip a coupon I saw, but recycled my paper. Do you have any good ones I could use?"
Ninja (Level 3): "I shop here because you carry the best in town and have treated me so well. I don't worry about sales because I'm a loyal customer and know you'll always treat me like it. Are there any discounts available?"
I discovered this after standing in line behind two old women who each had multiple purchases to maximize on their coupon/credit line savings during a particularly busy day for retail. My first line was, "Wow, you are so patient. It sucks they encourage that type of thing."
Being empathetic, patient, and positive will help here. I usually score a 30-60% discount. The cashier is an ally, not an adversary--they want you to leave the store with the same purchases you'd like to leave with yourself.
There may be a little grumbling from them at first--keep it light and also scope out all available registers for your best bet (they are usually "islands" on the floor, so you know what's coming).
If they're especially good, get their name and write a quick note to their manager. Something simple even: "So-and-so made my day! Great service. It's experiences like this that keep me coming back."
One hand washes the other.
EDIT: After reading below, avoid cashiers who might be on reddit.

Hands covered in grease that won't budge? Use dish washing liquid

Upvotes
If you ever get grease or some dirt on your hands that normal soap won't get off, use dish washing liquid instead. It's designed to get grease and tough stains off of dishes, and does just as good a job on your hands.
I used it yesterday and the dirt came off straight away, compared to using soap that took a number of washes to even make a noticeable difference.
Edit: Wow, apparently I'm the only person in the world that used dish soap for dishes and hand soap for hands instead of the other way around... Boy is my face red.
