In your film you made it clear that drug sniffing dogs smell individual smells, as opposed to smelling things as a whole, therefore the idea of putting bags of pot in a tin of coffee is out of the question.
Yet what about things that don't combine smell, but rather deoderize the smell, as in would it be a good idea to hide small amounts in stick deoderant or boxes of baking soda? Could the dogs still smell that? |

Well first thing the deodorant is not going to work, Deodorant works by killing smell producing bacteria. It also has an ingredient to suppress perspiration, but I digress.
Now as for baking soda, baking soda sucks at absorbing odors. Forget even using it, you want something to absorb odors look for activated carbon. Activated carbon is used in scrubbers that indoor growers use. At the same time if you have a box of baking soda in your fridge, replace it with activated carbon also, works much better. |

still searching for the holy grail i see 
all you can do is take precautions,,nothing is foolproof my friend,,,
im no scientist but i did stay at a holiday inn last night,, well,,tonight too but anyway there are microscopic holes in EVERYTHING leaking odor,,some holes are smaller than others but yet still remain
activated carbon just moves the smell from one place to another,,doesnt get rid of it,,,its still there but does help contain it somewhat but not get rid of it totally
hope this helps |

| a good spray to use to eliminate the odor from the smoke is spray starch. im not sure how good it works on masking the actual herb, though. |

Barry makes the point that you can't mask odors from dogs. Waay to discriminating. Think if your monitor were completely black. Now light up one pixel white. You'll notice that small subtle difference. You could try to hide it with random sprays of blue and red, but you'll still see the white square. Using materials which limit the rate of molecular permeability, are analogous to turning the brightness down on the monitor. The white pixel is still there, you just have to look longer to see it. Smells are the colors of a dogs mental view of its world. I'm sure strong, close to source smells are extremely "bright" to a dog while hidden , contained, faint odors are more "dim" but none the less evident or distinct.
Barry mentions "scent cones of detection". I propose this effect of odor transmission for a dog is similar to us looking for the source of light that we see in the sky from distant searchlights. |

My mother in law thinks that works too. I walk in to a smoke filled room that reeks as if someone were trying to cover the scent of Lavender with Marijuana.
Heres a tip: Some weed smells like cat spray or "skunky". If you own a male cat, Blame the critter for spraying your room!  |
