Are there low-odor marijuana strains?
by JARS | December 11, 2024
Yes, there are low-odor marijuana strains. These strains are specifically bred to emit minimal or less pungent odors during growth and consumption. People often seek them for discreet consumption and to minimize unwanted smells, making them ideal for those who value privacy and odor control.
If you have ever smoked before, you know that weed is a stinky plant. While its scent can enhance the flavor and many of us love the smell, it can often be indiscreet and may even lead to some uncomfortable situations. Whether you just do not like the smell or want to find a more discreet way to smoke, many people find themselves wondering, are there any low-odor marijuana strains?
The short answer is, it depends. If you’re a cannabis cultivator, there are a number of strains, like Northern Lights and Blue Mystic, that growers suggest may not get the attention of nosy neighbors. If you are a smoker, weed smoke is, unfortunately, always going to be rather potent — especially if you get that loud from JARS.
That being said, there are a number of preventative measures you can take to reduce the smell, like using a handy sploof. Read on for a list of odor-reducing tips, what in the world a sploof is, and how to make one in the comfort of your own home.
Ways To Cover Weed Smell
For years, stoners have come up with ways to mask the smell of weed for an array of reasons. Whether you have an unexpected visit from the in-laws or you simply hate the lingering smell, there are plenty of tools to eliminate marijuana odors.
In The Home Light an Incense. Incense like Nag Champa has been a favorite for both pre-and post-smoke sessions. Often used for yoga, meditation, and cannabis consumption, Nag Champa has a scent that is appealing to the masses unlike some overtly fruity or synthetic-smelling incense varieties. It also produces a tiny trail of smoke that can help cover-up actual marijuana smoke. Use an oil diffuser. Another approach you could take is to strategically place a few oil diffusers around your home. As essential oils become increasingly popular, you can choose to go with a simple reed diffuser or an electric oil diffuser that uses steam to spread the oil around the room. Essential oils, like lavender and patchouli, not only entertain your senses but can also have various therapeutic effects. Spray an air freshener. Many of us already have Febreeze or other air fresheners to keep our homes smelling fresh and bright. While they may not completely mask the smell of weed, they will definitely help reduce the smell after your smoke session. Use a smoke eliminator. Ozium is a classic smoke eliminator that has been around for a number of years. It doubles as an air freshener with a vanilla and lemon-type scent that also literally grabs smoke out of the air and transports it to another realm. Much like air fresheners, it won’t completely remove the scent of weed, but it is a great base for all of the smoke you are about to swirl around your space. Use a hanging car air freshener. You know those little “Black Ice” trees you see hanging from almost every pot-lover’s rearview mirror? Well, they are there for a reason: to eliminate marijuana odor. While they may look cheesy, they have a potent scent that constantly works to cover up any strange odors. If you prefer to have something a little more modern, car air fresheners come in a plethora of different, shapes, sizes, colors, and scents. Bring perfume or body spray. A little spritz can go a long way if you’re trying to smell your freshest after smoking a joint. Spray too much, and you’ll choke anyone around you, spray too little and you may not get the coverage you are looking for. Simply try one spray on your wrists, one on your clothes, and one on your hair. Use a sploof. A sploof is a hollow cylindrical tube with some type of filtration in the middle that you can blow your smoke directly into. For a durable option, you can buy one online or in your local headshop. For a disposable, easy-to-use option, you can easily make one yourself with a few home essentials, like a toilet paper roll and dryer sheets, that you likely already have. As we briefly mentioned, a sploof is a cylindrical object that uses a filtering material, such as a dryer sheet, to remove smoke and marijuana odor particles from the smoke blown into it. One end functions as a mouthpiece, while the other filters the smoke through perforated materials of your choice. If you want to make one at home, you will need to gather a few things: Empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll Dryer sheets Rubber band And that’s really it! Now that you have gathered your materials, here is how you put it together: Take your empty toilet paper or paper towel roll and stuff it with a dryer sheet or two. Just be careful not to stuff it completely full as you still need to exhale through it and there needs to be room for the smoke to travel. Take another dryer sheet or two, lay them over one end of the tube, and secure them with rubber bands. Your sploof is now ready to use! It is really as simple as that. With just three simple household items and two easy-to-follow steps, you have a foolproof way to not only filter the smoke but reduce the lingering marijuana odor. While there may not be any true low-odor marijuana strains, there are ways to make your smoking more discreet. With these tips in hand and perhaps even your very own sploof, you can now smoke all of your favorite JARS strains in peace. Come into either our Michigan or Arizona locations to see what skunky and funky strains we have in stock for you.On-The-Go

Final Thoughts
Rise and Grind
Are you tired of procrastinating and feeling unproductive? Do you want to find a natural way to boost your focus and creativity? Well, look no further than cannabis!
Rise and Grind: Increasing Productivity with Cannabis
Are you tired of procrastinating and feeling unproductive? Do you want to find a natural way to boost your focus and creativity? Well, look no further than cannabis!
That's right, folks. Marijuana can be more than just a recreational pastime. It can also be a powerful tool for increasing productivity. And no, we're not just talking about getting high and watching Netflix all day. Instead, we're discussing using cannabis responsibly and strategically to enhance your workflow and achieve your goals. So, without further ado, here are some tips for how to increase productivity with cannabis:
Choose the Right Strain
Not all cannabis is created equal. Some strains are better suited for productivity than others. For example, Sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects, while Indica strains are more relaxing and soothing. If you want to get things done, opt for a sativa-dominant hybrid like Sour Diesel or Green Crack.
Check JARS Cannabis for a wide variety of strains to pick from!
Experiment with Different Consumption Methods
Smoking a joint might be the most traditional way to consume cannabis, but it's not always convenient or discreet. Instead, consider trying other methods like edibles, tinctures, or vaporizers. Each method has its unique effects and onset time, so experiment to find what works best for you.
Set Realistic Goals
While cannabis can help increase productivity, it's not a magic bullet. You still need to set realistic goals and prioritize your tasks. For example, don't expect to write a novel in one sitting just because you're high. Instead, break your goals into smaller, more manageable tasks and give yourself ample time to complete them.
Avoid Distraction
One of the biggest challenges of using cannabis for productivity is the potential for distraction. You might start with the best intentions but then find yourself getting lost in a Wikipedia rabbit hole or spending an hour staring at a houseplant. To avoid this, set boundaries for yourself and eliminate distractions. Turn off your phone, close unnecessary tabs on your computer, and create a quiet, focused environment
Take Breaks
Just because you're using cannabis to increase productivity doesn't mean you have to work non-stop. Taking breaks is essential for maintaining focus and creativity. Use your breaks to stretch, move around, or do something unrelated to work. This will help prevent burnout and keep you motivated.
Stay Hydrated
Cannabis can dehydrate, so drinking plenty of water throughout the day is essential. Not only will this keep you hydrated and healthy, but it will also help flush out any THC metabolites in your system. Who doesn't love a good excuse to use a fancy water bottle?
Don't Overdo It
As with any substance, it's essential to use cannabis in moderation. If you overdo it, you're more likely to experience adverse side effects like anxiety, paranoia, or decreased motivation. So, start with a low dose and gradually increase until you find your sweet spot. And remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution.
Use Music to Enhance Focus
Music can be a powerful tool for increasing focus and productivity, and cannabis can help enhance the experience. Choose manageable instrumental or ambient music, and experiment with different genres to find what works best for you. Music can be a great way to stay in the zone and tune out distractions, whether classical, electronic, or lo-fi hip-hop beats.
Get Plenty of Sleep
Finally, remember the importance of a good night's sleep. Cannabis can help alleviate insomnia and promote relaxation, but it does not replace a healthy sleep routine. So ensure you're getting enough restful sleep each night to help you stay energized and productive during the day.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a natural way to increase productivity, cannabis might be worth a try. Just remember to choose the right strain, experiment with different consumption methods, set realistic goals, avoid distractions, take breaks, stay hydrated, don't overdo it, listen to the right music, and get plenty of rest.
So, the next time you're feeling stuck or unmotivated, give cannabis a chance. Who knows, it might just be the productivity hack you've been looking for. And who says being productive can't be fun? With cannabis, you can tap into your creativity, get in the zone, and tackle your to-do list with a smile. Just be sure to stay focused and avoid any munchies-induced detours.
And there you have it, folks. While it's important to remember that everyone's experience with cannabis is different, these tips can help you use it responsibly and effectively. So go forth, get creative, and blaze your way to productivity. Happy smoking!

But how do you find the perfect budtender? It can be challenging. There are a lot of factors to consider, from their knowledge of cannabis to their personality and communication skills. Here are eight tips to help you find the perfect budtender.
Look for someone with a sense of humor.
Cannabis is supposed to be fun. So looking for a budtender with a good sense of humor makes sense.

Ask for recommendations
If you're new to cannabis or just visiting a new dispensary, don't hesitate to ask other customers or staff members for recommendations. They might know of a budtender who is exceptionally knowledgeable or has a great personality. Plus, asking for recommendations can be a great way to start a conversation and get to know other cannabis enthusiasts.

Find someone who is honest
Honesty is always the best policy, and that goes for budtenders too. A good budtender will be honest with you about the products they are selling, giving you a realistic idea of each strain or product's effects, benefits, and drawbacks.
They won't exaggerate the effects or benefits of a particular strain to make a sale. They'll provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision and will be transparent about any potential risks or side effects.

Find someone who is friendly
Last but not least, look for a friendly and welcoming budtender. They should make you feel at home in the dispensary and put you at ease throughout the buying process.

How To Elevate Your Next Smoke Sesh
Are you looking for something new to elevate your next smoke session? Are you stuck in a smoke session rut and want to take your cannabis experience to new heights? We're here to help, down below are some surefire ways to help take your smoke sesh to the next level.
Investing in quality cannabis
First and foremost, let's talk about the importance of quality cannabis. You know how they say, "you get what you pay for"? Well, the same goes for cannabis. Investing in craft cannabis, also known as premium cannabis, is the key to taking your smoke session to the next level.
Not only is the quality and consistency top-notch, but finding a reputable dispensary that genuinely cares about and connects with its customers is a surefire way to ensure that you're getting the best of the best. Trust us, there's nothing like walking into a dispensary and having the staff help you pick out the perfect product for your lifestyle. So, don't skimp on the good stuff, and elevate your smoke session.
Let our staff find you the perfect products here:
Alternate the strains you are using
Now, let's talk about switching up the strains. Of course, we all know that different strains of cannabis can have different effects - some are more relaxing, like Indica strains, while others are more uplifting, like Sativa strains. But did you know that different strains can also have different tastes and aromas?
By alternating the strains you use, you'll not only experience a wider variety of effects, but you'll also be able to enjoy a more diverse taste and aroma experience. Plus, switching things up can prevent tolerance and allow you to experiment with new strains and discover the different effects and flavors they have to offer. And let's be real, who doesn't love a little variety in their life?
Food pairings
Let's talk about the fun stuff - amplifying the taste, aroma, and effects of cannabis. One way to do this is by pairing your cannabis with certain foods. For example, chocolate contains compounds like theobromine and caffeine that can enhance the effects of THC and create a more euphoric experience. So, grab a bar of high-percentage cocoa dark chocolate next time you plan a smoke session, and thank us later.
Cheese is another great option - it contains compounds like casein and tyramine that can enhance the effects of THC and create a more relaxing experience. Hard, aged cheeses like cheddar and gouda are perfect options.
Spicy foods, like those containing capsaicin, can also enhance the effects of THC and create a more intense experience. And let's not forget about fruits - mangoes, pineapples, and berries contain terpenes that can enhance the taste and aroma of the cannabis and create a more enjoyable experience. Herbs and spices, like peppermint, rosemary, and basil, also contain terpenes that can enhance the taste and aroma of the cannabis.
And last but not least, nuts and seeds like almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds contain healthy fats and oils that can enhance the effects of cannabis.
Aromatherapy
When enhancing your cannabis experience, why settle for the same old routine? Instead, take your next smoke session to new heights with the power of aromatherapy.
Imagine lighting a few scented candles, like lavender, which promotes relaxation, or peppermint, which can help to clear the mind. You can add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil to a diffuser or simply apply it to a cloth and inhale the refreshing aroma. Not only will it mask any unwanted odors, but it'll transport you to a relaxing spa-like paradise.

Switching up your methods
The kind of marijuana you smoke is just one way to make your experience more attractive. Your high will fluctuate significantly depending on how you smoke. If you've only recently started smoking joints, it might be time to upgrade to a bong or vaporizer. If you're having trouble getting high while using cannabis as you now do, try switching up your strategy.
With a bong, you can enjoy a smoother hit and a cooler smoke that's easier on the lungs, allowing you to inhale more deeply and fully appreciate the unique flavor profile of each strain. With a vaporizer, you can enjoy the full range of flavors and aromas without the harshness of smoke while also being considered a healthier option. So why not give your lungs a break and treat them to a smoother, cooler hit while treating your taste buds to a flavor explosion. Elevate your smoking game and take your cannabis experience to a next level high.
This is a foolproof guide to elevate your smoke session. By investing in quality cannabis, switching up the strains, and experimenting with foods and fruits that can enhance the taste, aroma, and effects of the cannabis, you'll be well on your way to taking your cannabis experience to new heights. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the ride! Because let's face it, life's too short to settle for a dull smoke session.
If you're looking for a great place to find quality cannabis, be sure to check out our dispensary here, where we offer a wide variety of premium strains and knowledgeable staff to help you find the perfect product for your lifestyle. So, grab some friends, some quality cannabis, and a bag of dark chocolate, and get ready to elevate your next smoke sesh to new heights.

Green Muse: How A Plant Has Inspired Creatives for Generations
Welcome to JARS Cannabis, where we're all about discovering your highest self! Today, we're diving deep into the dank world of cannabis culture and how it's inspired some of the most legendary creatives of all time.
From Bob Marley to Snoop Dogg, we're talking about the masters who've used the green stuff to get their creative juices flowing. But we're not just looking to the past – we're here to explore how weed is shaping the art world of today and tomorrow. So pack a bowl, light it up, and get ready to take a trip through the groovy world of cannabis-inspired art. This is gonna be one high you won't forget!
Cannabis as a Muse for Creatives Throughout History
Cannabis has been a fixture in the creative world for centuries. The ancient Greeks were known to use cannabis to inspire their poetry and art, and the Romantic poets of the 19th century were also fans of the plant. It was believed that Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote his famous poem "Kubla Khan" under the influence of opium, which he used to combat his chronic pain. However, some literary critics speculate that cannabis could have been the real culprit behind his inspiration.
Famous Writers and Artists Who Used Cannabis for Inspiration
Now onto the beatniks of the 1950s and 60s. This group of artists and writers was known for their drug experimentation and rejection of societal norms. Many of the beatniks were fond of cannabis, and it's said that the infamous beatnik author, Jack Kerouac, wrote his most famous work, "On the Road," while high. We can't confirm or deny this, but we know that cannabis has been used as a tool for creative inspiration for a long time.
Musicians Who Turned to Cannabis to Get Their Creative Juices Flowing
But it's not just writers who have turned to weed for inspiration. Musicians have also been known to use cannabis to get their creative juices flowing. Jazz legend, Louis Armstrong, was a massive fan of the plant, and he once said, "It makes you feel good, man."
Bob Marley is another musician who famously loved cannabis. He's said to have smoked a pound of weed per week! And of course, we can't forget about the Beatles. Their song "Got to Get You into My Life" is believed to be a tribute to their love of cannabis.
Everyday People Inspired by Cannabis to Create Art
Cannabis has long been associated with inspiring creativity, and many artists have used the plant to unlock their imaginations. While some of our dispensary walls showcase local artwork created by artists inspired by their cannabis experiences, there are also notable artists across the US who are known to use or be inspired by the plant in their creative process. From Pablo Picasso to Vincent Gordon, these artists have created stunning works that showcase the plant's ability to enhance creativity.
How Cannabis Enhances Creativity and Focus
So, how does cannabis inspire creativity? Well, the THC in the plant can help to lower inhibitions and allow for freer thinking. It can also help to enhance sensory experiences, making things like music and art more vibrant and exciting. And let's remember the way it can help with focus and concentration. Many people find that cannabis allows them to enter a flow state where they can focus intently on their creative pursuits without getting distracted.
Finding the Right Cannabis Strain for Your Creative Goals
So, how can you tap into your creative potential with cannabis? Well, the first step is to find the right strain. Different strains of cannabis can have other effects, so choosing one that will help you achieve your creative goals is essential. For example, a strain like Blue Dream might be a good choice if you want to relax and get in the zone. If you're looking for a burst of energy and creativity, a strain like Sour Diesel might be more up your alley.
Setting the Mood for a Productive and Creative Session with Cannabis
Once you've found the right strain, setting the mood is important. Whether you prefer to work in silence or with music playing, create an environment that will help you focus and get into a creative mindset. And, of course, make sure you have plenty of snacks for when the munchies strike!
