James Madison University is located a few miles from a dog food factory and the entire town smells like it.
Also dead skunk is how you know it's good so... shrug

#12You 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.
Will pot consumers like that? I think marijuana smells fantastic, I doubt I'm alone on that. It's an acquired taste similar to beer and coffee. This would be like if breweries stopped making IPAs because some people find them too strong.

#13I'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.
I believe low smell would be prefered for illegal grows as it attracts attention.

There are already strains that have low(er) odor while growing (https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-top-5-low-odour-cannabi...). But most people that smoke pot enjoy the unique smell of marijuana.
There are ways around the smell being an issue. Growing indoors, it is quite easy to filter out the smell with activated charcoal filtration, which is how it was done when it was illegal and smelling up your block was a nice way to get caught. The problem is arising from outdoor grows and greenhouse grows which don't treat the smell and can't really in a cost-effective way since they would need to filter all of the air.

#15Homeowners have a relatively simple way to fight back!
Simply grow some hemp plants, and kill your females.
High quality marijuana production requires the female plants do not get fertilized, which means an absence of male plants.
Once fertilized, cannabis puts its energy into seed instead of increased flowering.
Wind and insects will distribute the pollen to your neighbors, and the plants will start making seeds instead of stinky flowers.

#16I wonder if this is worse than living near a hog farm?
Nothing can make shit and rotting carcasses smell good. A lot of people think weed smells amazing. I love the smell. As another poster said, it's like anything else you enjoy. I like the smell of coffee, beer, freshly-cut wood, etc. Mostly because of the memories they invoke. Same with cannabis.

This sounds like a great way to get murdered.

#20This 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.
Is it typical for greenhouses to be zoned for particular individual types of plants?
