why can you smell weed through sealed plastic bags

Shocking some of the urban legends propogated online. You can easily contaminate the exterior of a jar. Place a material in a glass mason jar, seal properly, bleach the outside to destroy organic molecules and run the test. No Smell.

Here's another test: Fill a mason jar with the smallest atom - Hydrogen. Come back in 100 years. Still filled with Hydrogen. If the smallest atom can't pass through glass, a hugely complicated molecule that stinks has no chance.

More proof: a light bulb is simply a glass vessel under vacuum. If small air molecules (still smaller than stinky molecules) can't pass through glass after years and years, you can be sure glass is safe.

I live in an area that sits on the southern border where there are border patrol check points on every road out of these major cities. People have tried and try a bunch of crazy things and most to no avail. The dogs are not only trained to smell narcotics but other scents associated with smuggling. One of the more popular ways I've seen it come in is through 'grease packs' Many layers of plastic then grease then plastic then grease and oil. Talk about a mess opening up, escpecially if you are not wanting to destroy what is inside :)
One thing I must givec the method I've seen them on this side of the checkpoints so it must doing something...

The issue is surface contamination of not only the containers, but the drivers, the vehicle, the packing materials, etc. It only takes a few molecules, but there are millions all over everything around the container. A dog will smell this and hit. Then men root around to find

.... The biggest smell source would be surface contamination from someone's hand on the jar surface

agreed

Not the case at all. Absolute Urban legend. Dogs can get it wrong for sure. Not infallible. They don't signal on a hamburger, steak females in heat, etc. They may get distracted by food and poon, but do not signal.
not sure I agree w/ this.as stated b4 my mother in law(almost 70) got searched twice in past month right after her dog was in the car(in heat).the county/state/town is doing a big crackdown on smugglers & set up roadblocks to check for sobriety, illegal plates/stickers,ect & have added Dogs to sniff outside the car. she has gone through several times w/out a problem.-5 yr old car bought new & she doesn't associate w/ any drug users other than younger family members and none have been in car this summer. she did go though 1 earlier this month w/ the dog but it was b4 she went into heat(the dog- not ma :) )
also a buddy is a state trooper & he has told a story about putting "doe in heat" hunting scent on another instructors shoe when the were training w/ dogs to get the dogs to hit on the target.

Let me just say that I train dogs and am quite familiar with this process. There is a very specific set of scents they are trained to hit on. They may be interested / distracted in smelling some poon, but they will not signal their handler that they smell weed. Unless the rookie handler simply states the dog signalled ( handler error or he lied)

there is no way to mask the scent from a dog. the only way is to deceive the handler.
try packing your vehicle up as if you were going to a bbq when transporting, vacuum sealed bag within the ground beef on the bottom of the cooler.

You can seal up a vessel, but the truck and occupants are already covered in smell. As well, if they want to search they will. They can always cheat.

If any of you think a dog will not sniff through glass then think again my friends, I grew up with extended family, a cousin that joined the South African Police dog squad as a handler and they can smell any scent trained to recognise through almost anything, including barrels of oil, fat, wax, petroleum.

Anyone thinking glass is not permiable or almost anything else widely available is a fool. But hey what do I know, I've only been there done that and now thanking my lucky stars able to wear the t-shirt.

glass cannot be permeable, bottles of alcohol wine, whiskey, etc,etc, have been found at the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years and when opened 100% uncontaminated although would be unwise to consume.

this is the way i am going to go.

i am gonna seal my stuff in glass vacuum mason jars and then clean the jars with bleach.

i am then gonna shower and change my clothes.

i am then going to hide the jars in my car and make sure i dont break the speed limit and my car is all legal.

hopefully i can get the dope to the destination in two days.

if not.

by the time i get out you will be delivering your dope in space ships.

Good example. Heavy osmotic potential given the salt in the water and alcohol in the bottle.

Stephnieslloan, take the jars outside then bleach, then open a fresh baggie for temp transport. Wear latex gloves. You'll still be risking molecules coming off you and your clothes. So keep that in mind. When you get to the car carefully dump the jar from the baggie without touching it and back away. Even after all of that you risk surface contamination.

GL man make sure all your lights are workin' on your car....In some states you can get pullled over for having a license plate out too so check that.

also no-one knows how long it takes for glass to biodegrade and no one will ever be around long enough to find out, you could put a piece of glass somewhere and get future generations to keep checking it but the possibility is it may take up to or over a million years.

What reason do you have to come here with the attitude? Nice conversation and then you come along with the mouth.
I think the reason some people do that is that they have the misguided perception that if they can somehow denegrate the other person it will make their argument stronger. Too bad though because whenever I see posts like that I just tune them out regardless of how valid their point may be.

That's a very good point and I'm sure that's true. Thank you for your wise words. There's really no reason not to stay civil.
