Hiding your stash in your underwear is probably the oldest trick in the book. Tuck your roach in your bra or simply toss your goods down your front. While consumers are often patted down before entering music festivals or outdoor concerts, security staff members are not legally allowed to get too handsy.
A medium to large belt buckle makes for an excellent place to store a gram or two. If your buckle is big enough, you may even be able to temporarily keep a joint tucked away from prying eyes. Fair warning, though: herb stored behind a belt buckle can feature a high risk of falling out.
Socks are another classic. While you may have to remove shoes before entering a music festival or concert, you typically don’t have to take off your socks. A joint or a simple gram can be tucked right into the top. If you happen to have high arches, you may even be able to get away with keeping your stash under the arch of your foot for a minute or two. Though, be wary about crushing your stuff.
As it turns out, you can fit quite a lot in a rolled up sleeve. A couple grams can easily be folded up in the sleeve of a button down. If you roll your sleeve properly, this hiding spot is fairly secure. This means you can take just enough herb on your next outing without having to worry so much about losing the stuff.
If you’re just trying to save a little something for later, the rim of a hat is a solid choice for those who need to quickly hide a joint. Obviously, you can’t fit a whole lot up there. But, it’s easy enough to tuck a small pre-roll away for later use.

If you get caught with cannabis out and about, you can utilize some of the simple tricks mentioned above. But, if you’re at home or in your car, you may want to have a plan of action in case of catastrophe. While it is arguably asinine that non-violent consumers can still be harassed and face criminal charges for possessing a plant, police raids are still a sad reality for many consumers. Here are the best places to hide weed from the police:
A discrete safe is useful for both home and car travel. But, to be clear, it is not recommended to drive while under the influence of cannabis. Yet, if you happen to be pulled over while in transit, placing your stash in a discrete safe before you hit the road is a good idea. Whether you pick up a hairbrush or a fake fire extinguisher, having some sort of disguise might just keep you out of trouble. If traveling with cannabis in a legal medical or recreational state, keep your goods unopened and in the trunk or back of the car.
Wrap your stash in plastic and shove it inside an unassuming bottle of household cleaner. Of course, to prevent damage to your herb, it would be wise to empty the cleaner bottle, keep your herb in an air-tight and waterproof bag, and perhaps fill the container partly with water to avoid any suspicion if it’s moved.
Sometimes, the movies have it right. A loose floorboard or hidden entrance to a crawl space are perfect spots to stash your valuables. Just don’t forget where you put them! It is unlikely that anyone will want to go through the effort of tearing apart the structure of your house, so find a perfect spot for a locked safe.

If you have a few pairs of old shoes in your closet, why not hide your stash there? Non-descript and unassuming, shoes are often overlooked as solid stash spots. Just make sure that your goods are wrapped in plastic. After all, shoes can also be quite dirty and might alter the smell and flavor of your favorite flower.
There are several reasons why hiding your weed in a candle is a good idea. Not only are scented candles fragrant enough to block out the scent of cannabis, but how often would someone suspect to turn a candle upside down to check for herbal goods? Next time you smoke, you may even light it for a few minutes to freshen up the air.
A book safe is a classic but often fool-proof way to hide your stash. It’s a rare occurrence that someone takes the time to leaf through your personal library. As a bonus, book safes often feature locks. Meaning, even if someone happens to find your precious materials, you can always refuse to open up your lockbox.
