Has my camera been hitting the bong?

My new camera (canon xsi) and my new camera bag suddenly have a skunky, pot-like smell. Thing is, no one in my house smokes pot. I bought them new about a month ago and they have been inside exclusively, except one afternoon out. Any ideas? Is my camera a junkie?

Did somebody leave their pot in your camera bag? All those pockets, man, it's easy to misplace stuff in there.

Response by poster: @box If my 3 year old has been leaving her pot in my bag we have more issues than a smelly camera ;)

Could be the materials your camera bag is made from. You could do a search online for smelly camera bag and see if it's something related to the brand you bought. I did a search and the first thing I read was mold/fungus problems from poor storage of the bag. But if your bag is new, then my guess is the bag could be the problem. (You didn't happen to buy it on sale, didja?)
