“The only significant amount of unsmoked marijuana was 25 grams stored in a closed Tupperware container locked inside a safe located in Hubbard’s bedroom closet.”
So the cop lied that he smelled it when he was outside the front door.
That would be my suspicion, also just like cigarette smoke, pot smoke will permeate a house, car, clothing. The problem I have is they said they smelled “raw” marijuana, not burning pot or residual or stale dope smoke in order to get the warrant.
