Businesses miffed by smell from medical marijuana grower

Hmmm...every time I go past a McDonald's I smell french fry grease - and it's worse in the summer. Why is cannabis the only smell that can be controlled? EVERY house in the country can legally smell like cannabis - ain't diddly anyone can do about it.

I bet they will try to make bylaws or whatever for cannabis smells.

Jeez, a couple of totem poles made of incense, light em up and smell problem solved, LOL.
Tell that lady to move to a town where there is a smelt or steel factory, then she will appreciate that skunk smell better.

That's a slippery slope...is smelling cannabis really more offensive than the millions of other smells we encounter every day? Get a load of fish fertilizer and spread it along the property line - let the whiners complain about that instead.

I worked about 3kms away from a Labbats brewery once. Everytime they put yeast into the wort to brew beer the smell was foul! 3kms away!
Smelled like mouldy dish cloths. Could hardly breath. For 3 weeks at a time. Nothing could be done about it legally.

Can only imagine how bad it was just a few blocks away....

I worked for a old Lebanese guy who only took a shower once a week. Being within 10 feet of him leading into shower day and it would take your breathe away. He smelled worse than a block of walking feta cheese.

Sounds like LPs took a page from Labatts playbook.

From the Article:

“There’s some pretty big concerns right now about what this odour could do to the area.”

YES! The entire area will have to be quarantined and evacuated. Highly Toxic and Dangerous Substances.

they try. In Oregon when first came rec, most littler cities including Medford passed city ordinances for smell, nuisance, etc. They lasted just a lil bit, but now that cant do nothing about them so I think they took em off the books

Some canfilters would fix this smell problem very easily.
