Good evening,
We have the following problem: sometimes there is a smell of marijuana or hashish in the children's room. We recently bought the house. It is a prefabricated house with a solid basement. The children's room was completely renovated, meaning new flooring, new wallpaper, and a dropped ceiling installed. This smell does not occur all the time. We cut some holes in the wall to check whether the mineral wool insulation was okay, which it is. The insulation is dry and does not smell like that. We also found no animals or anything else. Please help, as we are getting desperate. Oh, and no one in our household or the neighborhood smokes marijuana.

Did the previous owner possibly leave a ceiling light with a canopy?

No, the ceilings were newly redone.

What kind of plants are those? When I search for basket or sisal on Google, I don't find any plants.

No idea. I'm not Wikipedia. That’s why you should go outside and have a sniff.
The advice from Hampshire about sisal and basket refers to things that might be around your place.

There are no such items inside the room. Strangely, I can’t smell anything outside ☹

Does a chimney flue pass through the room?

My 3D printers use PLA (at least that’s the only material I use, no ABS or TPE).
It also has a strange smell, but definitely different from “grass.” Somewhat sweet, maybe?!
(It’s made from polylactic acid after all.)

I’m very familiar with the smell of grass. My wife’s son spent some time in his room (in our house) consuming small amounts with his friends.

It’s not the filament but the lubricant grease on the printhead. The smell is not just similar, it’s exactly the same. My first instinct was to check the kids’ rooms. Professionally, I can clearly distinguish the scent.
