    If you buy from a legal Illinois dispensary, you should be safe either way. They put it in packaging that has no detectable smell.

      Don’t worry. The lack of a detectable smell has never stopped cops from ‘smelling’ marijuana before.

        True, but at least just buying from a dispensary shouldn’t be a worry in and of itself.

          What if I repackage and go to a friend’s house? Laws like this restrict what consumers are allowed to do.

            I’m absolutely not in favor of the law, I didn’t mean to give that impression.

      IDK what dispensaries you’re visiting. But, even through the manufacturer’s packaging and the dispensary’s packaging it was quite loud in my car driving home.

      Not true of the dispensary I visited a few months ago while in a legal state. You could smell cannabis in the parking lot from the building and smell it once I got it back to the car where the smell lingered for hours even after double bagging it.

        I can’t speak of dispensaries in other states. I’ve been to several in Illinois and that is how they all do it. There is a heavy cannabis smell when they actually let you inside the place where you buy it and maybe if a cop was hanging right outside the driveway into the dispensary specifically to catch people leaving, they might smell it on you, but considering they hire off-duty cops to be security, I doubt it.

      So funny as every dispo has a smell. Of weed. If the jars and containers are smell proof where’s it coming from.?.

      No way every container is perfectly sealing. And if even 1 I buy leaks slightly it will smell like weed in my car even if I don’t open the container. So is it really fair to use smell as the 1 factor needed to allowing search.
