Marijuana smell raises legal questions — and squabbles between neighbors
Josefa Ippolito-Shepherd tried cleaning, pleading and suing, but she said the attack on her home of 30 years was unrelenting. Sometimes she felt as though she couldn’t breathe, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t live out her retirement in her manicured Cleveland Park colonial.
Marijuana is now permitted in most states in some form, and that has brought complaints of the scent and possible secondhand-smoke exposure from neighbors of marijuana farms, dispensaries and smokers. The debates surfacing around the country have led to new restrictions on where people can smoke as well as lawsuits over the nuisance.
California cities have begun to seriously contemplate the prospect of outlawing smoking within the confines of apartments and residential buildings, a development brought about by the anti-smoking movement, said Dale Gieringer, who leads the California chapter of a pro-decriminalization advocacy group, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Gieringer, one of the authors of the California law that made medical marijuana legal, said despite the success in cities such as, “it’s an ongoing issue” as people who do not like the distinctive smell complain. He said the odor should not dissuade its legalization, pointing to the alternative forms of consuming marijuana that do not cause as much of a smell, such as eating edibles and vaping oils.
