A D.C. judge has ruled that a man who smokes medical marijuana in his apartment must stop after a neighbor complained that the odor from his marijuana crept into her home and caused a nuisance.
I feel that for marijuana usage to become more acceptable, it needs to be bred to be much less pungent.
My brother-in-law stayed with us last weekend, and is a chronic pot smoker. Our garden absolutely reeked of the stuff. Fortunately the house to one side is empty, and our neighbour on the other side was away. But anyone else in the area must have thought we were going hard on it all weekend. Wouldn’t be so bad, but my work has a zero tolerance policy on drug use (I work in the railway industry), so I didn’t even get to join him.
I don’t want to smell my neighbors. That’s a fair ruling.
I feel like there’s got to be a middle ground between, “I don’t want to smell this” and getting a court order to stop someone from taking their medicine in their own home.
My question is if you can have this banned by the courts could you theoretically get an injunction on people cooking in their own homes especially something “smelly” like a curry.
Yeah, that’s some crazy escalation.
Yeah, for sure. Even though I disagree with it, I understand it (despire her seemingly going for the nuclear option).
It’s an apartment complex which likely is already a no-smoking environment. Logically speaking, cannabis smoke shouldn’t get an exception. The order just seems to prohibit the man from smoking, so I assume other methods are still on the table.
Pretty much everyone I know with a medical card uses a vaporizer. Little to no smell and much easier on the lungs. That, or edibles.
How would the courts treat making your own home edibles? Cause that process is smelly as well.
I don’t agree with the ruling, or the sentiment, but making edibles is a periodic process. Smells once per week is a lot different than pot smoke several times per day, every day.
Edibles are a thing. I wouldn’t want my newborn to second hand smoke pot.
You know if they want to make their own edibles it would be just as smelly right? I also highly doubt you’re newborn would be getting second hand smoke from another apartment it’s just the smell that carries through.
Vapes/edibles for every medicinal user? Something less smelly.
Edibles aren’t necessarily less smelly if they decide to make their own.
