LDOCE6,OALD10,OED的解释最为准确:


image

A quantity of an illegal drug, especially one kept for personal use.

可见,上文中的意思更强调的是数量而不是藏匿,后者主要是为增加幽默效果。这样看来,“贮藏物”一项是最为准确的。

确实!
Macmillan-British-English 部分双解版 给的翻译更为离谱
an amount of things that are kept hidden or safe
a stash of money 藏钱的地方

不过如果是毒贩的钱,可能也不好叫私房钱,但也不是泛泛而谈的赃款。不知道这种情况该怎么处理。

Macmillan 修订过释义,原本是

a place for hiding things or keeping them safe 藏匿处;贮藏处
a stash of money
藏钱的地方

现在是

an amount of things that are kept hidden or safe
a stash of money 藏钱的地方
a. the place where these things are kept hidden or safe 藏匿处;贮藏处
