There isn't a "best" weed storage setup because there are many types of smokers out there. There are those who want everyone to know where the weed is right when they walk in the door and those who would rather keep things more low-key. There are those who need to make sure prying hands don't crack open a stash on accident, those who smoke their stock in a week and those who take their time. Regardless of what kind of storage you're looking for, we think at least one of the following weed storage solutions will do the trick. These are some of the best stash boxes you can buy.

While there's no single overall solution for everyone, there are a few different things you should look for when picking out the right weed storage solution for you and your household. We've outlined the most significant factors to consider below.

Capacity: Not everyone needs a giant jug to stash their pot but some weed containers might actually end up being too small. Ensure you understand the amount of storage space you need for your daily/weekly/monthly weed consumption. After all, you don't want to have to use a ziplock baggie for the excess if you can help it, right?

Seal: Keep in mind that just because a container has a lid, that doesn't mean the container is airtight. If you don't want the smell leaking out of your container and into your living space, you'll want to make sure the seal of your weed container of choice is actually airtight. This can also help better preserve your weed and keep it from drying out.

Materials: Not only will the materials determine the potential overall quality of a given weed container, but they can affect their longevity, style, how waterproof they are or aren't and more.

Other Features: Some weed containers come with compartmental storage, while others are made to kind of nest with one another. Whichever style you're considering, make sure you take a gander at some of the other features in the periphery, as they might push you toward or away from one(s) you're considering.

While the obvious answer to how we tested is to say we stashed our weed in these containers, there's a lot more to it than simply putting some bud in a jar and moving on. Our testers also had to be conscientious of how much flower could fit in a given container, how well those containers keep the weed safe and protected (from drops, drying out and even light exposure), how durable a given container is, and even how they look (whether that's for discretion or display).

Not only are these discreet containers frankly beautiful, but they're also odor-trapping, super secure and even block out harmful UV light. And while you can get the containers individually (which are available in several sizes), the brand also sells comprehensive kits that come with their own storage cases. For instance, you can pick up the all-in-one Tulip Set, which comes with seven pieces including a large lock box.

The Stori weed storage system is more than a stash box. The childproof box comes with color-coded, airtight canisters for different strains as well as tubes designed specifically to keep joints as fresh as possible. There's even an app that helps you track your tastes and preferences as you smoke through your lot.

Tetra's stock of accessories typically leans in the direction of design- and performance-focused goods, and these simple and affordable storage jars fits that bill perfectly. Completely air- and odor-proof, they're made of a dishwasher-safe ultraviolet glass. And they're available in travel, small and large sizes — so you can set yourself up with whatever you need for all your endeavors.

A fairly classic stash box by all accounts. This one is made of pine, comes with a number of cubby holes within and there's a removable rolling jig included inside. It's not entirely airtight, so you may still be able to smell the contents, but it's beautiful and easy to stash in a closet or on/under a desk.

Designed by Brooklyn ceramics studio Light + Ladder and made by hand in Portugal, the Galet is a small (but not too small), matte-finished stash sphere. If you're looking for a very discreet and ultra-compact container for your bud, this is an outstanding, restrained offering from a trusted brand.

If anyone sees this out in public, they'll probably think it's a fancy water bottle. Little would they know it hides your dankest weed. It has a carbon filter to absorb odors, and you can use the built-in vacuum pump to suck out air to increase freshness. It's also lighter than a tube of toothpaste and comes in a three-pack (with two sets of colorways available).

Simple, effective and affordable — that's what you get here. Borosilicate glass jars with a food-grade silicone cap are battle-tested storage spots. These are airtight and hold up to a pint, which should be plenty of room for most folks' weed needs. Just keep in mind: since the glass is clear, this isn't the most discreet option out there. However, it will keep your weed safe and accessible.

From its famous pour-over kettle to these unassuming storage jars, Fellow's coffee gear is top-notch. With a few twists of the lid, its Atmos container removes all oxygen from the interior chamber, leaving you with a storage area perfect for beans and bud alike. And, these jars are available in three different sizes and three different colorways, including both clear and opaque options, making these some of the most versatile (from a shopping perspective).

As we've come to expect from Session Goods, the brand's Stash Jar is, put frankly, beautifully designed and super useful, while also somehow being minimalist. This airtight jar also benefits from some internal compartmental storage, so you can stash your weed, lighter and even some pre-rolled joints. If you want one simple, relatively small solution and you don't mind the premium, this is a solid option.

What's really cool about these airtight jars is that they each have a lid with a one-way valve, which will release extra air out but won't let any in, helping to preserve your weed much better than most other options on the market. It is worth noting that the sizing can be a little misleading, as weed isn't very dense — so you should expect to fit more like 3-4 ounces of weed in a 16-ounce jar.

This lockbox from Marley Natural is essentially a luxe version of a pretty classic stash box design. Instead of using pine or bamboo like most wood weed storage does, this one is made of black walnut (like a lot of Mid-Century Modern furniture) and the top slides off and acts as a rolling tray. Unfortunately, the brand doesn't go into specifics as to the size of this container, but it looks to be about the same size as a shoebox.

Made by hand in Los Angeles, a simple stoneware canister plays the part of weed storage very well, especially if you're keen on keeping it on a countertop or in a high-traffic area of your home. They're available in five different sizes, as well. And while they're discreet in their appearance, they might not be as airtight as some other jars around here, letting the smell of your cannabis seep out (which a plastic baggy could solve).

If you're looking for a simple, no-nonsense airtight container, go no further than this one. Sure, it looks a little like it might hold pills or maybe some soup, but it will get the job done. It's also childproof, American-made, has a silicone koozie around it for added protection and it keeps UV light out.
