Secret Smokers: Discrete Cannabis Solutions from Headwaters Provisions

In the beginning, we were just a small weed-themed apparel shop located in the same building as The Source Craft Cannabis Dispensary and Apothecary in Rogers, Arkansas, and it was slow going.

Understanding the Need for Discretion

For all of you secret smokers out in the world, Headwaters Provisions has you covered. We understand that many cannabis consumers live in apartments, have young children, or simply do not appreciate the stigma of being called a "pothead."

When you need to keep your consumption private, it can be challenging to manage everything from smell to storage. We are going to explore some solutions available at Headwaters that can help keep your canna secret safe while still enjoying your experience.

Controlling Cannabis’s Pungent Odors

The smell of smoking cannabis flower can quickly permeate your entire living space and cling to your clothes, creating a telltale sign of cannabis use. Here are some effective strategies to minimize odors:

One-Hitters and Dugouts

The first thing I recommend for helping cut down the smell of burning flower is a one-hitter or "dugout." These convenient devices come in an impressive variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials including glass, ceramic, steel, and aluminum. The key advantage is being able to clear a bowl in one hit, which significantly reduces the amount of smoke produced. Unlike papers or larger bowls where flower continues to burn between hits, one-hitters only burn what you inhale, dramatically decreasing lingering odors.

Features a colorful wooden dugout with a rainbow swirl pattern, small glass pieces, a GRAV brand box containing a portable smoking device, and black cylindrical accessories, all displayed against a white brick background with the store's logo.

Smoke Buddy Personal Filters  

The second essential tool is a SmokeBuddy. Think of it as an upgraded version of that old-school air filter everyone used to make with a dryer sheet wrapped around a toilet paper roll—but far more efficient. These compact devices feature a sophisticated multi-filter system: you blow smoke in, and nothing comes out, keeping your air smell-free. Their funky, portable designs make them both effective and stylish accessories for the discrete cannabis consumer.

Odor-Eliminating Candles

Complement your odor control strategy with our specially formulated Smoke Odor Exterminator Candles. Available in a large variety of fragrances, these candles are specifically designed to neutralize cannabis smoke rather than simply masking it. When used alongside other discrete methods, these candles ensure no one will be the wiser about your cannabis use.

Alternative Consumption Methods

Dry Herb Vaporizers

If the methods above do not provide the level of discretion you need, we also recommend exploring dry herb vaporizers. Vaping cannabis is often considered safer than smoking because it heats but does not burn the herb, avoiding the harmful byproducts of combustion like tar and carbon monoxide present in smoke, and significantly reduces the smell. Modern vaporizers come in various sizes and price points, offering temperature control features that allow you to customize your experience while maintaining discretion.

Smell-Proof Storage Solutions

Revelry Storage Products

For outdoor smokers or those concerned about storage, Headwaters Provisions carries premium smell-proof bags from Revelry. Their product line includes everything from dab kits to rolling kits and regular backpacks—all featuring reliable odor-proof technology. We are confident we have something to suit everyone's needs and style preferences.

Right side shows open cases and smell-proof storage organizers with specialty compartments, all branded with the Headwaters Provisions logo.

My personal favorite is the Rolling Kit that comes with a grinder, tray, and two convenient smell-proof pockets, a spot for your lighter, and a design that folds up perfectly. It is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts or minimalist cannabis consumers who value both functionality and discretion.

Every discrete smoker has unique challenges and preferences. Our knowledgeable staff can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific living situation and needs. We are committed to helping you find the perfect balance between enjoyment and privacy.

I hope this helps you find exactly what you need to maintain your privacy while enjoying your cannabis experience. As always, STAY AWESOME!
