it barely smells when you cook them. just open a window, light a candle, and turn the exhaust fan above the stove on (if you have one).
I got a vaporizer last night. I'm now a fan of the 'martian mean green' strain..I'm going to try laughing Buddha now.
Well I find my strains are strong enough to permit a strong smell just by being in the room. If you're cooking the butter, you won't want your mom in the same room...
