It's not, and those lease provisions already exist throughout the nation regarding cigarettes/tobacco.  The smell is damaging -- to quality of life, to health, to property value.   You lose about 10% of your car's trade in value for the smell of weed because it's so hard to eradicate.  You lose about 30% on home sale value due to cigarette odors.   Can't imagine what the residual smell of weed will do.   That hurts one house, but if there are enough in a community, it devalues the entire neighborhood.   And HOAs will care about that a great deal. [/quote]

Oh god, more sky is falling nonsense. MJ smoke isn't nearly as damaging as tobacco smoke. There's fewer toxins and the smell doesn't bind to furniture, close, the walls, etc.

Then again, you'd know that if you knew what the hell you are talking about. But continue lying.[/quote]

Do you believe all of the horseshit the marijuana industry blows up your ass? Marijauana contains carcinogens.  It might be hard for your feeble mind to understand, but when you burn any organic matter it will give off carcinogens. It doesn't matter if it is tobacco or marijuana:

THC is also disruptive to developing brains.  It impairs peoples' abilities to perform complex tasks, disrupts learning and memory, and causes detectable changes in areas of the brain like the hippocampus.

So no, your cloud of smoke isn't just a smell, you're exposing unwilling bystanders to carcinogens and plumes of smoke that can damage brains. Tobacco was banned for literally the same reasons. Anyone with kids who lives next door to disgusting potheads will have their kids exposed to a constant level of THC that can cause brain development issues for their children since potsmoke always permeates through walls.

You sound like the same morons who actually believe the horseshit that the alcohol industry pumps when they claim that a few glasses of alcohol are 'good' for you.  The marijuana industry does the same crap to obfuscate the truth and to try to come up with some flimsy 'evidence' that marijuana is some magic plant. It ain't.
