Police vow to end 'cannabis capital' By Doug Robertson October 04, 2008 http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24445012-421,00.html POLICE are vowing to end South Australia's reputation as the nation's cannabis capital by unleashing a series of raids on hydroponic stores and "grow houses".

In an inter…

Weed Sniffing Dog Searches

I am new to this forum and I have a real serious issue coming up. My husband is traveling and I've heard that there may be checkpoints with dogs since he's going to TX. What is the best way other than luck to help him throw the dogs off so they wont smell it. He thinks if he double bags it in freezer bags and then puts it down in the cooler that will be filled with ice and cold water and other foods including an open bologna package that they wont smell it. Is this true? Or I've heard that if you use some kind of hunting scent that will throw em off too. Can someone help me with this?
