8 Post-Sesh Essentials for Freshening Up After You Smoke

If you’re at home or chilling with your buds, smelling and looking
bright-eyed right after smoking probably isn’t your top priority. What’s a
little skunk among friends? But if you’re forced out into the world
immediately post-sesh, it might be something that crosses your radar. Let’s
be honest, it is probably not the best idea to head back to work after a
lunch break with the aroma of fresh blunt on your breath.

Whatever the reason, you’ll definitely need to keep a few things handy if
you’re interested in looking sober. Check out these suggestions for
starters and add your own items to suit your personal post-smoke needs.
1) Makeup Bag or Backpack

First things first, you need something to carry all of your essentials. You
can keep your post-sesh materials in a little makeup bag, throw them in
among the contents of your purse or backpack, tuck them away in the glove
compartment or just bring a couple things in your pockets. You can grab
something you already have hanging around the house, or you can look for
scent-proof bags and purses like Stashlogix or Erbanna if you want to be
super discreet.
2) Hand Sanitizer

If you’ve been smoking a joint or blunt, the reality is that your fingers
and hands now smell like weed. Maybe you think you can’t really smell it
unless you have your fingers right up under your nose, but no… it’s there.
An unscented hand sanitizer can be a godsend when you are out and don’t
have immediate access to soap and a sink. It’s quick, easy, convenient and
it makes a difference in just a few seconds.
3) Breath Freshener

Whether you prefer gum, mints or breath spray, it’s imperative that you
have something to help whisk away the smell and taste of smoke in your
mouth — especially if you plan on having a conversation shortly after with
someone you’d prefer not to notice the aroma. When you’re done smoking,
have a glass of water to rinse out your mouth (because hydrating is
important!) and then follow it up with your breath freshener. Go for
something peppermint or spearmint as opposed to a fruity flavor so that the
intensity can help knock out the smell.
4) Electrolytes

Life comes at you fast. One minute you’re perfectly fine and the next
minute your mouth feels like the Sahara Desert. Electrolytes are key to
helping your mouth restore its natural moisture. Drinks like coconut water
or Gatorade are a good choice, because they are easy to find at gas
stations and grocery stores in a bind. If you can’t get ahold of those
options, you can also squeeze a bit of lemon into a glass of water for
relief.
5) Lip Moisturizer

To restate the obvious, smoking can definitely zap moisture in the body,
which explains such universally disliked occurrences as cottonmouth and
dry, itchy eyes. Unfortunately, your lips are just as prone to parching and
having something to keep them luscious is the best way to keep to keep your
lips from being on sandpaper status. Lip balms with coconut oil or cocoa
butter are especially good at locking in moisture.
6) Scented Lotion

A hand moisturizer with a noticeable — but not overwhelming — fragrance can
also help further mask or neutralize the smell of just-burned pot. Look for
a travel size bottle and use it after hand sanitizer. If you suspect your
hair also smells like weed (which, again, it probably does) then after you
rub the lotion into your hands, you can run them through your hair to
transfer some of the scent.
7) Eye Drops

Red, itchy eyes are awful, point blank. And to make matters worse, they can
also lead to excessive rubbing, which can cause dark eye circles that make
you look tired all the time — even when you haven’t smoked. It’s a good
practice to use drops both before *and* after smoking for maximum effect.
Find a brand that offers red-eye reduction and moisturizing in one bottle
so that you can knock out both issues at once. If you’re totally opposed to
putting things in your eyes, maybe opt for a pair of sunglasses when you
feel the redness coming on.
8) CBD

Did you accidentally get a little higher than you meant to? Well, you can’t
take it back, but you can help take the edge off and keep yourself from
continuing to feel way too stoned with CBD. Find a high-CBD strain,
tincture or vape that you can use to follow up your sesh. Skip the CBD
edibles, though, because they will take much longer to be effective and
won’t be much help at the moment you need it most.
