I gotta disagree with that. Much like cigarette smoke, weed is so pungent that I don't think you can ever escape that smell, no matter how much you try.

Not really. I mean yeah if youre leaving buds all over your desk and you just let the bowl burn after taking a hit the odor might sneak out. But if you keep your weed in a container, and cover the bowl with something metal immediately after taking a hit, and then exhale towards the window* there is nothing left to linger.

My kid puts himself to bet at 10:00-10:30, I never go to bed prior to 11:30, generally because I'm doing something and my brain doesn't want to settle. We tried early bed times, and he just rolled around his room, never bothered us, but he consistently fell asleep around ~10PM

That is fine with me, because I remember not wanting to sleep as a kid prior to roughly that same time, I'd lay in bed for hours unable to really settle.
When I was a kid I'd get banished to my bedroom and lights off at 9.
My official solution was to play Legos or read right in the doorway with light from the hallway until I got tired.
Usually sometime around 1-2AM.

Yeah. I'm a smoker of both and can smell it on other people or in the air from a long way away. Only way not to have that smell is have really short head hair and no facial hair, and smoke standing outside shirtless in a decent breeze, and even then you'll need brushed teeth, gargle, cologne and not let your hands near anyone afterwards...
e: Non smokers will pick it up easier than me, eg your dr will know you smoke cigs, the cops will know you smoke pot.

The fancy words to describe it is "sensory adaptation". Basically, your brain adapts to it, recognizes the constant smell, and essentially discards it so that it can pick up on other smells - mostly in terms of identifying possible threats. You're used to the weed smell (like I am a cigarette smell, for example). Remove that smell for a week, and the next time you're around it, you'll be able to smell it full force.

I've been around enough pot smokers in my life that even though they try the tricks as described above, I can still smell it when I walk in their house.

No, the only time I smell weed is when I open my container or exhale the smoke and that's only for a couple seconds afterward. There is no lingering scent. Im sorry your pothead friends smell because that's no fun but if you're careful you can easily leave no noticeable scent.

e: I smoked daily at home for over 4 years, if my parents would have smelled even the slightest whiff I would've heard about it right away because of my brothers drug problems. The only time it was brought up was when I hurt my back and my mom went through my room to clean it and found my pipe and chewed me out. You can be drat sure she would've done the same thing if she smelled it while walking by my room.

You can tell if you have it properly set up by taking a piece of paper and putting it along the openings of your door. If its blowing inward no one will smell a thing.

VVV Read my edit. :)

Well the only way to prove that is not your own opinion, but that of someone else who can say they can smell it on you or not. That being impossible here, no point continuing discussion about it.


e; for your edit:
It's not about your room, I always had a pedestal fan between me and the window too. No smell got into the house, it lingered around the room for a bit though, but we're talking about the smell on you. Absorbent things like skin, hair, clothing carry and hold it around more than the hard surfaces of a room does.
Like I said before, short head hair, no facial hair, no shirt helps, but to people that are non smokers and professionals at spotting it, they can still be able to tell if even I can tell while I'm used to it/blocked some out, may have diminished senses.

I bought an entire 360 and the game when GTA:IV came out.

Then it came out for PC, but not on steam so I bought it on DVD.

Thinking you don't stank of weed is like thinking your parents didn't know when you masturbated.

Trust me, the only reason people (/your parents) didn't call you out on it is because it would have been awkward.

My parents are not the awkward type, they absolutely would've given me plenty of poo poo if they smelled any at all. They never have in four years. I dont know how this is so hard to comprehend for you, you can absolutely smoke without leaving a scent if you're careful. Your friends obviously had different smoking habits than I did.

edit: Though I'm arguing with someone that wants to shoot people for vandalizing a 2nd gen explorer. Rational!

BF or Hardline is good. GTA:IV can look pretty amazing with the graphical mods you can download. You can even probably find your exact lambo model to download and play around in.

I went through the same thing about a year ago. She managed to take a nice chunk out of the side of my head the first time, but managed to smooth it out so it was not noticeable. Still hated getting my haircut there, especially when the instructor would come over with a group of 10 students hovering waiting to ask a question.

Pretty much why I can't smell pizza unless I haven't been to work in several days. People always say "wow that smells so good", and I don't smell a thing.

I actually gag a little when I walk back in after a few days, the smell is overwhelming.

Most of my friends smoke, and their places always reek, even if they haven't smoked in a day.

The only reason I can even notice the smell is I use a vaporizer 99% of the time. When I actually do smoke, I go outside, and usually go to bed afterwards. I can always smell it on my clothes and bedding the next day.

Yep, and it has a hole in the base and one on top. Cleaned those out and same. I'm really wondering if it's just not getting fuel into the bowl. I know the line flows, and I know the jets are clean. But the plug has nothing on it, and it never even tries to catch. Is there a trick to actually getting that bowl off without ruining it?

Edit: thinking about it, that almost has to be the issue. Removing that bolt never results in any fuel leaking out of it.
