Alright! Finally getting my ass out of Dodge and moving to Portland! My trip will be starting in North Carolina.
I'll be driving my Ford Ranger truck, pulling a U-Haul trailer. Truck still has a fairly new looking paint job on it, its a 2002 model. It has a cheapo aluminum cap on the back covering the bed, and this will be relatively empty, almost everything I take will be in the trailer.
My appearance is average, the only thing that makes me look slightly alternative is a goatee that is longer than most guys wear, but its not even close to approaching ZZ Top style. Beard has turned pure white. I look like an old fart...guess I kinda am.
I'm not sure the best way to transport the weed. I don't have much, about 4 ounces or so. And, a bunch of seeds, which are even more important than the weed in the long run. But, if I got searched for some reason on the way by a cop with a dog, in one of those states in the middle of the country that have draconian weed laws, that amount would be enough to get me in a world of trouble.
I don't own any vacuum sealing equipment that would aid in hiding any smell from the cop dog. To purchase this would likely cost around $100, maybe $150. I'd rather not have to make that purchase for just this one-time need.
I'll probably take 2 weeks max, more likely 8 to 10 days, to make the trip.
I tend to err on the side of caution, and this is the only reason I am seeking further opinion on the subject. I'm guessing most folks wouldn't think twice about transporting such a small amount, but I'm still interested in how a larger sample would come out....so I'm putting up a poll.
1) vacuum seal the jars, put in a box, then the trailer...this will probably get quite hot due to no air circulation in the trailer.
2) vacuum seal the jars, put in a box, then in the back of my truck's cab, will be cooler due to windows I can open.
3) don't bother vacuum sealing, put in a box in the trailer
4) don't bother vacuum sealing, put in a box in the back of my truck
5) let 'em ride up front with me, vacuum sealed, in a box
6) let 'em ride up front with me, not vacuum sealed, in a box
7) don't transport the weed with you at all, send it through the mail (problem...I don't have an address to send it to yet)
Observations, comments and suggestions are highly encouraged!
