Even if you are in a state where marijuana is legal, you don't want your car to smell like a lot of weed if you get pulled over. The police still look for amounts of cannabis that would indicate dealing, and even if all you have is a bong and half an ounce, nobody wants to get searched by the cops on the side of the road.

Cannabis laws vary from state to state.

Ever Wonder Why Weed Is Purple But Are Too Scared To Ask? We Got You...

Since marijuana has been recreationally legalized in 15 states and medically legalized in 33 states, more people are carrying it with them. This has made smell-proof bags more on-demand than ever before, but knowing which bag to buy and how much to spend can be challenging.

Here is some information that may help you make a decision.

Plastic bags just don't hold in the smell... but there are better ways! 

The scent of weed can permeate through a ziplock bag because the tiny molecules that produce the smell can seep through the plastic and escape into the air. The plastic is not airtight enough to hold in the odors. It fits in air/liquid, but the tiny smell molecules penetrate the bag.

But there is a solution! Most bags labeled 'smelly proof' are comprised of thicker plastic, which is essential to preventing your weed from being smelled when it's in the specific bag.

This is why storing weed in a plastic jar is often the best way to prevent smells from getting out and keep its potency in. Because the glass is much thicker and when dealing with only small amounts and scales of cannabis, there is nowhere near enough to permeate the jar or escape fast enough for a human's nose to detect. The smell becomes confined to the jar. When it fills the jar, it prevents more from evaporating off the weed. Sealing cannabis like this keeps the weed fresh and potent.

Glass jars work better than you think at containing cannabis odor

The answer to this question is not straightforward as it depends on the specific make and model of smell-proof weed bag you use. However, if they are made of high-quality waterproof materials such as microfibres, nylon, or high-grade plastics, they should also be odor-proof.

Now comes the really tricky question of whether or not sniffer dogs can smell through odor-proof bags.

Technically no, a dog will not be able to smell through a good quality bag, but if you touch the outside of it with weed residue on your hands, they may be able to detect the scent. This is because when you touch the bag, you transfer the scent onto it. Therefore, it is essential to consider what type of bag to buy based on a few key questions.

What are your requirements for a smell-proof weed bag? Do you need to store a lot of products and equipment? Will you be transporting your bag through high-risk places like airports? Does it need to be extra childproof? Depending on the answers to these questions, you can narrow down the perfect smell-proof weed bag for you.

As a cannabis enthusiast, you have many options for smell-proof bags to use when you go out. Not only will an excellent smell-proof weed bag prevent you from smelling like a walking dispensary, but it will also keep your weed from losing moisture, maintain its potency, and keep it safe from children and animals.
