Ok, so we all know that the best thing for everyone is to keep your ganja rolled into joints. The joints are kept in your hand or shirt pocket (somewhere very close) and ready for swallowing in case an officer pulls you over.

Unfortunately, sometimes we have to have a bag on us. It's just reality. Not every dealer will come to your house, and sometimes you want to go to a friend's house and match him with a vaporizer or bong etc... So what about those times you HAVE to bring weed somewhere in non-edible form.

So, we have a few choices, and I would like input on which is best and why. I have done alot of searching and reading, but have still not come to a straight conclusion on this one.

We start by assuming that the car is completely clean and orderly, no smoke smell or seeds lying around. Now we have a sack of bud, what do we do with it?

1) Keep it on yourself. It's a small bag and it could be stuffed into your underwear, shoes, armpit (needs securing) etc... This has the benefit that even allowing an officer to search everything including yourself will result in nothing. What if the officer asks to search and threatens to call a K9?

Problems:
a) A dog can smell it. Get pulled over by a K9 and you're probably screwed, right? The dogs do sniff the driver as well as the car, correct?
b) Must be a small bag concealed somewhere a pat search will not find it. No good when you have an oz on you.

2) Keep it in an out of reach and locked section of the vehicle. This really just means the trunk of your car. I have heard some people say that when an officer searches the vehicle they do not check the trunk. I have also heard they do. This method allows large amounts.

Problems:
a) K9
b) What if they do search the trunk?

3) Keep it stashed inside the car. This requires a very good hiding place and is probably the worst option. The problems are obvious, as there really is no good place to hide something in the cab of a vehicle.

4) Get very creative... How about mounting a metal (aluminum) or glass box underneath the vehicle, and possibly vacuum sealing the weed. Would a dog alert on a small hidden box underneath the vehicle in the event of a general walkaround type search? Would this help prevent K9 operators from finding your stash with false alerts?

If you allowed an officer to search your vehicle, do they go so far as to inspect the under-carriage section? It seems like even if they did you could locate a small metal box where it would not be noticed.

Any other possibilites? How about some combination of the above mentioned options? Assume you have a relatively unlimited amount of time and money to prepare a vehicle for moving some marijuana. Considering how this is about the only way a disciplined toker can get busted randomly, I think it deserves having plenty of thought put into it.

I'm currently studying mechanical engineering, and specializing in materials, so the possibility of designing something to aid this endeavor is very real.
