Does the fast food restaurant or Chinese buffet have to worry about violating an odor ordinance when the toxic fumes from their kitchen exhaust permeate the public air within a 3 block radius?  What about the local laundromat, when the massive amount of dryer exhaust vents pump out the odor of synthetic perfumes, from dryer sheets, into the public breathing space?  I am pretty certain that everyone would agree that it would be silly to hold them accountable for not releasing these odors into the air for the public to smell.

So why should legal, home cannabis cultivators be held to this ridiculous standard?  The smell of fresh flowers is worse than synthetic perfumes coming from the laundromat?  Or the odor of fried, unhealthy food coming from the local hamburger restaurant?  I know I, and many others would prefer the smell of fresh flowers over these mentioned.

The terpenes that are responsible for the odor coming from fresh cannabis flowers are made up of the exact same terpenes represented in every other living plant on earth.  The difference is the concentration of specific terpenes that are present in each plant.  You can't get intoxicated by the odor of fresh flowering plants, whether it be cannabis or lavender flowers.

Also, from my knowledge there is no other state with such ordinances on odor.  Because it is a silly thing to try and enforce and makes it too complicated.  How would you know someone isn't lying, about someone they dislike, complaining about the smell of cannabis flowers, for the purpose of causing a big headache for a law abiding neighbor?

Thank you.
