Essential Items for Your On the Go Cannabis Kit

Essential Items for Your On the Go Cannabis Kit

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 or rolling papers, you’re a good candidate for a cannabis travel kit. Keeping all of your weed travel essentials in one place can make your life easier and your days a little higher. 

 

Why Should You Have a Dedicated Cannabis Travel Kit?

Cannabis travel kits are always stocked full of what you need, allowing you to leave the house quickly without worrying about leaving any weed travel essentials behind. Instead of scrounging the couch cushions for a lighter or running around the house looking for your pipe, you can just grab your bag and hit the road 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 and making sure you can spark up when the time is right. 

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.

What Are the Must Have Storage Solutions?

The exact tools you use for cannabis storage will depend on your lifestyle and preferences. However, there are some must-haves to consider when looking at cannabis storage solutions. 

You should always have an airtight container available for your flower, as well as one to store any waste or garbage in for future disposal. You can go for mason jars or other easy airtight solutions, or purchase a smell-proof container made specifically for cannabis. 

As far as the bag or cannabis travel kit itself goes, the options are endless. We love options made specifically for cannabis storage, such as smell-proof bags, but any bag or container you feel comfortable taking on the go is fair game. It’s a good idea to opt for one that closes securely and won’t risk any of the contents falling out during your adventures. 

 

What Tools and Accessories Should Be Included?

You’ll likely want to pack the basics: 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.

What Are the Best Portable Consumption Methods?

The best portable consumption methods are small and durable. Remember: this is an on-the-go kit. You don’t need to pack every single thing you enjoy consuming, just the basics–and make them portable. 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.

How to Keep Your Kit Discreet and Legal

The key to a discreet cannabis travel kit is to use an everyday-looking bag or backpack. Even more important, the bag should be smell-proof. If you don’t want others to know what’s inside your kit, don’t purchase a smell-proof cannabis backpack that clearly shows weed or weed-related logos on it. 

You don’t necessarily have to buy a smell-proof bag. Instead, you can keep all of the contents in airtight containers to prevent the smell from escaping. Be sure to toss out all waste and garbage each time you return so no incriminating smells linger. 

Remember that you can’t travel across state lines with weed. Even if your on-the-go cannabis kit is well-packed with legal products, it must stay in the state where you purchased the products.

  • Rolling Papers
  • Lighters (at least 2-3)

How do I store weed while traveling?

You want to strike a balance of portability, durability, and discretion. We recommend storing cannabis in an airtight container placed inside a smell-proof bag, if possible.

Are smell-proof bags worth it for cannabis?:

For those who regularly travel with cannabis and need to be discreet, a smell-proof bag can be a wise investment. It provides an extra layer of protection for your stash without alerting others to what’s inside. 

What’s the best portable vaporizer for travel?

There are many quality portable vaporizers for travel. The best for your needs will depend on your preferences and lifestyle. For dry herb vaporizers, consider the Crafty from Storz and Bickel, the Lobo from Planet of the Vapes, or the PAX Mini Portable Dry Herb Vaporizer.  

Can I travel with cannabis accessories?

Clean accessories with no cannabis residue are allowed in carry-on and checked bags, though the final decision lies with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA.) Depending on your state laws, driving with cannabis accessories may be illegal, especially if there is weed residue in them. 

What’s the safest way to carry edibles on the go?

The safest way to travel with cannabis edibles is to keep them in cool and dry places away from children and pets. Keep them in their original packaging and place them inside an airtight container to keep any smells out. 

How do I make my own weed travel kit?

To make your own weed travel kit, tailor the advice we’ve provided in this piece to your needs. 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. 

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)
