Tips from our Readers 
- With the windows down, put the A/C on full blast to push new air into the car from outside. Then, raise the windows and turn down the A/C. Spritz rubbing alcohol a few times, then air the car out. Finish with Ozium spray while the air is on full blast.
- Try putting used coffee grounds in rolled up newspaper all over the car. Leave it overnight and by the next morning the smell will be gone.
Warnings
- Smoking weed and driving can be really dangerous since it impairs your senses, and it may be illegal in your area.[11]Thanks
