why can you smell weed through sealed plastic bags

Glass is sand stupid it erodes

never heard so much crap in my life.

glass is sand that has been melted in to a liquid at 3600c (6012f).

sand is the erosion of rock you twat.

a sand castle can be eroded by the sea in seconds idiot.

if you want a bottle made of sand your welcome to it.

glass is non biodegradable and non permeable.

how does that grab you by the short and curlys.

Not on its own, erosion is the results of outside influences. If its protected from the elements scientific therorists say it will last on the order 10 to the 10th power, billions of years........
who gives a f**K about erosion, we are taking about glass being able to be penetrated by liquids, and gasses, taking about the biodegration of glass was a key element to prove how robust it is, and my view is to biodegrade it can take a million years, if i want to erode it i can do it very quickly with a sand blaster and erosion is not the issue.

the issue here is to prove if glass is the best material to deter a dog from smelling gasses through the material and most of the people in this discussion say that it is perfect for the job, but to go one better is to vaccum the contents.
so steer away from saying glass is sand, because glass is not sand, it was silica sand and we all know this without you telling us otherwise.

it is like saying your 50" plasma tv screen is sand, and for you to say this is totally stupid.

sorry for the mouth... surely didnt mean to offend. there IS reason for the strong opinion though. ive been alerted on and they found jack- i never roll dirty. it was my moms car for crying out loud... and i had been clean for days... there was no smell.
my old man is a retired statie... and he will tell you the same thing i just said. i was just a little riled up cause the topic is so close to me... again sorry for the mouth, ill try to clean it up

Statie or not, that is urban legend. A cop is not a lab. He has an opinion and is repeating what he's heard. Do you really think cops want us to know glass is impermeable?

thats not what im saying... whether the dog truely alerts or not... the cop says he DID. profile me for wearing a tye-dye. you see what im saying?
... and it can happen to YOU too, cat. i dont know about where you live... but the fuzz dont play by the rules here in sunny florida, if they want to pull you over they dont need a real reason... they will make one up later... and it will stick

Everything (we stoners commonly hold weed in) is porous on a microscopic level and given enough time, will eventually leak. That's why if you're gonna transport a quantity, it's best not to pack it until the day of the move.

I'm not sure about glass being impermeable, but I'd assume the seal (rubber gasket) would eventually be permeated.

I think it boils down to people liking to repeat what they've heard or read. The internet is great and while it the greatest access to free information, it is also most certainly the greatest access to misinformation.

yes this is true, and this is why mason jars work on a vacuum, so the air on the inside is sucking in away from the outside so you cannot smell anything through the seal, to smell something you would have to be on the inside of the jar as the air is being forced toward the inside, clever eh!! this stops you smelling something from the rubber seal so in other words if the dog was on the inside of the jar and the drugs were on the outside of the jar he would smell the drugs as now we have a reverse vacuum.

once the vacuum on the inside has leaked the dog can then smell the contents.

i am only relaying to you what others have said on the issue here, and it seems to me to be common sense that if the drugs are vacuumed in the bottle or jar and the outside is thoroughly cleaned and bleached the cop will then let you go.

you see they do not search your car in the uk when they stop you unless your car has a drugs flag alert attached to it, or they smell something suspicious.

in the us i think they will search your car for whatever reason they feel like especially if your travelling a far distance, i cannot see a local person getting the same search treatment.

so i think we all agree, that plastic bags are a no no for smells, it is making me wonder if my growroom is smelling through the plastic walls and i have totally sealed it, it probably does but the plastic is quite thick.

For dogs or people? Chances are if you don't smell it nobody else does either. On the other hand, if dogs are in your building or near your grow looking for weed, you're pretty much screwed at that point aren't you?

Could be. Carbon scrubbing is important IMHO
yes well i have a landing outside my front door with a locked door to the main lift area as i live in a tower block, and there are another 2 doors on the landing, and another three neighbours at the other end of the lift area, the last thing i need are my two neighbours sniffing out my plants and 10 foot grow room and reporting me to the cops.

i have the landing window jammed open 1 inch and i have an airfreshener on the landing too.

i am lucky one neighbour is an old lady, and the other is a middle aged lady and we get on fine.

tet1953 is right on the money. All you can do is keep humans from smelling. If a cop was walking his dog for some reason, you're toast.

There are things you can do to keep cops from smelling it, but the dogs are a bit more difficult to hide from. About the only way to hide from a dog is to cover the smell with another smell, like coffee.

That's not true. Dogs smell the particles that escape the material it is in. Lets say you have drugs wrapped in many layers of plastic wrap, inside sealed pvc piping, in a gas tank, heading across the border. The weed has been sitting in place for about 8 hours or so, the drug dog comes and smells, gasoline, pvc, plastic wrap, and guess what? Weed! The only way to beat a drug dog is to have the drugs packaged very well off location, then move the product within a hour or two before the smell starts to escape... Everyone knows about people trying to trick the dogs with coffee, powdered soap, hot pepper, etc and it don't work...
