What’s worse than having some, but not all, of the supplies you need for a good session? If you’ve ever trekked out to your favorite smoke spot only to discover you forgot a lighter, you’re a good candidate for a cannabis travel kit. Having all of your tools in one place can make life easier and ensure a worry-free sesh.
On-the-go cannabis kits are handy because they’re always stocked with what you need. You can skip scrounging the couch cushions for a lighter or running around the house looking for your rolling papers, but with a pre-stocked travel bag, you can get out the door with ease to start your next adventure.
Everyone has their unique routine with cannabis. That’s why making a cannabis travel kit can be so helpful. You can tailor its contents to exactly what you need to make your life easier. It’s a way of looking out for your future self.
Plus, you can build your kit out of anything you like. Whether it’s a small backpack, handbag, messenger bag, or any other type of container. If it can hold all of your stuff, it’s a great contender for a cannabis travel kit.
Essential Accessories for a Cannabis Travel Kit
Let’s start with the tools you’ll need to use your cannabis: pipes, lighters, rolling papers, and other supplies used to smoke. We’re talking about on-the-go supplies here, so it’s best to avoid fragile or large pieces. Bongs, for example, are not the best choice because they occupy more space and can easily break if made from glass.

Consider packing these items:
Handheld pipe
One-hitter pipe
Rolling Papers
Lighters (at least 2-3)
Grinder
Poker tool
Small rolling tray
Ashtray
Small waste container
Looking closer at this list, you’ll see a bit of variety. One-hitters are great for a quick solo puff, whereas pipes are great for smoking with friends or a longer, more intentional session. Never just pack one lighter in your kit; we all know the disappointment of trying to spark up with a dysfunctional lighter.
Waste containers are small but often overlooked parts of a good cannabis travel kit. It’s just good-neighbor etiquette to clean up and leave any place you visit as you found it. Bringing a small container to pack out your cannabis packaging, roaches, and other trash is an easy way to toke respectfully.
Many items can work as waste containers. Old film canisters, pill bottles, and even empty mint tins can work great to pack out waste. You want something with a decent seal to hold in all the smells and prevent any waste from falling out. The most important thing is that you pack out and dispose of your waste properly.
Product Essentials for a Cannabis Kit
Now to the fun stuff. We recommend packing a variety of goods in your travel cannabis kit so you can be prepared for any situation. Be generous as you pack, but keep in mind that you’ll want to replace your goodies on a regular basis to keep everything fresh.

Consider packing these items:
Flower in an airtight container
Pack of joints (the more, the merrier)
Edibles
Disposable vape pen
Remember: this is an on-the-go kit. You don’t need to pack every single thing you enjoy consuming, just the basics. Some flower, joints, edibles, and a vape pen should do the trick, but feel free to add any other products that you’d use when on the move.
Final Touches to a Cannabis Travel Kit
So you have all you need for on-the-go consumption. But a good travel kit should contain more than just cannabis and its related tools. Here are some items to consider adding for an even better time.
Water bottles
Gum
Breath mints
Snacks (think nuts, potato chips, protein bars, and other non-perishable items)
Hand sanitizer
Activities (journal, crossword puzzles, paper for doodling, a deck of cards, or a good book to read)
Cannabis is more accessible than ever now, but that doesn’t mean it’s widely acceptable to use in public places. States with legal cannabis access still prohibit public consumption, with just a few offering public consumption lounges or spaces. It’s crucial to know the law before you spark up and always exercise caution and good judgment.
When packing a cannabis travel kit, remember the purpose: to make your life easier and put everything you need in one place. So don’t give in to the temptation to add every single cannabis-related item you have–instead, focus on the essentials.
Smell-proof containers are always a good idea. The more discreet you can be about the contents of your bag, the better. Try to use airtight containers for your flower, and waste containers to keep the strongest odors away. There are plenty of smell-proof stash bags and kits available on the market, but they’re not always necessary for casual cannabis use.
When we talk about cannabis travel kits, we are talking about fairly local travel. Think of your on-the-go cannabis kit as akin to a travel bag for a mother to carry for a baby or a dog owner for their pet. The point is to have everything you need in one place so you don’t have to scramble for supplies each time you leave the house.
What these kits are not for is the bigger kind of travel. It’s illegal to cross state lines with cannabis, so we don’t recommend bringing a stocked travel kit on your next road trip (unless you intend to fill it with cannabis purchased in the state you are visiting). Never pack your travel kit for any travel that includes flying, as it’s unlawful and very risky to bring cannabis products or paraphernalia through airport security.
However you choose to take your cannabis on the go, we hope this guide to building a kit will help you toke up in peace.
