Depending on your location, I would say more often than not, yes.

Now whether they use that as their reason, that may be another story. There's countless other ways they could say gave them reasonable cause after the fact. But to initially get the probably cause, smell would work. Think of it like when a cop pulls over someone for suspected drunk driving. If they smell alcohol coming from the car, that is probably cause. Same with weed.
