#2Those specific respirator filters only do light organic vapors (as opposed to say the 3M 6001 cartridge), so the smell can't be that bad.
(Or you know, leave out the hyperbolic pictures.)

#3I wonder if this is worse than living near a hog farm?

#4I wonder if this is worse than living near a hog farm?
As a former resident of Indiana, no, it's not. Different, yes, but nothing is quite as bad as a holding pond at a hog farm on a hot summer's day.

#5This is a zoning issue, not a marijuana issue. Why did the government allow a greenhouse which was zoned for daises swap to marijuana?
Yes, marijuana stinks. So do slaughter houses and landfills. There's a reason we don't zone these near residential areas.

#6I went to college in Kenosha, WI (North of Chicago, South of Milwaukee) -- and they have cabbage patch farms around the area.
The stench coming from those farms, woowee!

#7You have to hope that after legalization producers will stop competing on how strong it reeks, since we'll all know it's real and won't be evaluating on the fly. Problem is that it might take generations to breed out the smellier=stronger thing.
Somebody here has the power to start branding based on being strong but not smelly; get on it first, you'll find a huge market.

#9I've wondered if whether the decriminalization and/or legalization of marijuana would eventually lead to people selectively growing strains that don't smell as strong. I guess that it's not a priority for the people that partake, and therefore not a priority for the producers.

#10I've got some buyers regret over supporting various decriminalization and legalization pushes merely over how common the smell has become from the increased exposure to individual smokers in So Cal. I never considered what it'd be like to live near production.
I still believe in the principle that the criminal justice system is a poor avenue for addressing most issues related to drug use. But I think the jury is still out whether individual users are generally good at being good neighbors about their use. And industry... honestly, I'd think that an industry that recently had to hide as much production activity as possible would be better about this. But monetary incentives are a hell of a drug, and this isn't going to be the last issue a market oriented society that brings cannabis industrialization into full fellowship is going to face.
