The terrible smell of weed

Now before anyone gets into a heated debate, the advice i'm asking for is absolutely legal where my situation is taking place.
I currently am finishing another course at University and am staying at a very close friend's home (for free). He has a medical condition where he is allowed to grow medical marijuana to ease his tension and pain. Now, the house absolutely reeks of weed and its seeping into my clothes and ANYTHING I bring inside. While I'm not adverse to smelling like a grow op, I still am trying to maintain a professional scent while I attend class. Is there something that can clean the air in my room or some shit that gets rid of the smell? Febreeze no longer works and even washing my clothes everyday still doesn't seem to get the smell out.
Before people jump the gun and tell me to hit the road or move out, I currently can't due to financial reasons.

That's really odd. If you're not having physical contact with the plants themselves, or the smoke, it shouldn't be seeping into anything. Has there previously been weed in the areas where you store your clothing?

Presto! Your entire house smells like burnt popcorn instead of weed!
1. More effectively deliver the drugs to his system
2. Not smell nearly as much
3. Be healthier for him
I reccomend febrezing like a motherfucker. That works for the smell of smoke. You can also keep laundry sheets in your drawers or some shit.

Actually, it can and does. There was a guy in my apartment building in college that grew and his entire FLOOR reeked, and anything and anyone in his apartment would smell for days. You think the smoke is potent-smelling? The mature plants are like skunks.
I've heard carbon-filter air purifiers will do the trick.
Yes it should. The resin on the plants will get into the air and then on and in everything else.
There’s really nothing that can be done other than sealing the room the pot grows in. Of course, when you do that you have to set up some other sort of ventilation system so that the plants don’t die. There are plenty of books dedicated to this very subject.
edit: I'm actually not joking, I bet if you turned that on in your room it would work out for you.
DUCT tape!
But i agree with your advice
The stench from plants goes through everything. I had a friend growing in his house many years ago, and actually stopped going to his house completely because of the smell. (i dont smoke so the smell was doubly unbearable) Try to seal off your room as best you can at all times, open your window as much and as often as possible, and just bear with it till you can move.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
This is so very true. So very, very true.
I don't know what would work here. You could try febreeze I guess.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
a) You're on a budget and cannot afford to go to home depot and spend X amount of money on a new ventilation system
b) You cannot move because of your finacial situation
c) It would be really hard for you to really afford anything else, or put any time into something more time consuming considering the whole reason you're there is to save cash and focus for school / bills / whatever your reason.

I used to get banned from my friends houses when I was younger because they thought I smoked, due to me always smelling like smoke because of my parents' bad habit. If regular cigarettes can make someone smelly, pot can do it.

Pot can do it worse, in my experience. It sticks in clothing about the same, but it's a stronger smell, and one fewer people are used to/likely to ignore. The plants smell worse than the smoke - personally, even though I don't smoke it, I like the smell of the smoke, but holy Jesus the plants can be bad. My grandfather grows it at the back of his property, and when the wind is right, it stinks all the way down the road.
Febreeze might work, but look into the stuff they sell to remove tobacco smell. Some of those products work wonders, and I've found they get quite a few organic smells out, not just smoke.
It works well to hang clothes out in the garage or similar outdoor sheltered area if they smell like any type of smoke. If you put them in the closet, the whole closet smells like smoke. Might not be a great option since you live with it, but it does work if you come home from a party or restaurant smelling like the guy at the next table.
QFT. Look if the smell is all over the house its going to seep through everything. Not much you can do but try to cover it up. Finding a spot to stand your ground and de-weeding it might be the best bet. Might want to do it over a weekend so the air freshener has a chance to meld in. Might be a good Idea to get some decent cologne as well and apply a squirt after you leave the house.
