Have you ever smelled a skunk? Exactly like that. It is so pervasive that if the dudes in the car next to you are smoking, your car smells like weed when you reach your destination.

Thank you for pointing this out. The supposed argument that weed smokers try to make -- "But, but, but alcoholllll is legal!" is such nonsense.
If my neighbor is drinking in his home, I can't see, hear or smell it. It has zero effect on me inside my home. But if my neighbor is toking, especially frequently, it absolutely affects me. Same would be true with tobacco, frankly, though weed seems worse than tobacco for permeating everything.
No the smell s not harming you anymore than a neighbor cooking spicy food. Smells are to be expected in multi family housing. Deal with it.
Educate yourself and take some tort law classes. It can be considered a noxious fume and a neighbor very well may have a case against a pot smoker whose fumes are coming into their apartment/townhouse/home. It’s already a commercial property concern being litigated in California. Residential is probably already being litigated somewhere. Just wait.
Yeah my sister and BIL were able to get out of their lease over a pot-smoking neighbor. it was a small building, 3-4 units maybe, and was supposed to be non-smoking but one of the other tenants who moved in at the same time was a prolific pot smoker and the smell was infiltrating into their unit. Sis was pregnant at the time and they threatened to go take legal action to get out of the lease so the landlord let them out of the lease. Apparently the pit smoker was the landlord’s family friend so they got deference but gotta think this will come up more and more.
I am an attorney licensed in Virginia where you have to do a bunch of annual CLEs and they now offer several CLEs on this topic.
What does that mean? Can we get out of leases in Va? Someone is smoking me out of my apartment and I have serious medical problems along with asthma. Do I have any recourse? Thank you.
Depends on your lease but based on the very limited facts you posted I would argue it makes your unit untenantable and unless the landlord can make it whole then you could withhold rent in escrow until either the unit is tenantable or you are allowed to vacate lease. Read your lease, it should have a tenantable section. Similar to if it lacked HVAC, running water, electricity.

I live in MD and it's everywhere now. My husband and I did a quick happy hour at a suburban bar in Maple Lawn, and 4 women walked past and stank up the whole place.
So skunky...

It's called vaping because it isn't smoking.

It smells like freedom from oppression.

Why can’t it be regulated at the state level? Alcohol is regulated at state level to a certain extent.

I vote democrat and I voted against this for this very reason! Ugh!
Last fall before the Maryland legalization vote, there was a long DCUM thread on this. Lots of us liberals voted against.
Apparently not enough. It passed 67% to 33%.

I think you're the same person posting most, if not all, of the pro-weed "It's legal, deal with it" nonsense answers on this thread. You know, or you should know if the weed hasn't baked your brain to the point you cannot comprehend it, that smell is not the only issue and not the truly dangerous issue. As someone already posted, burning any substance creates particulate matter that is then breathed in. But enough explaining for you, because you only return to troll here with your supposed arguments in favor of smoking whenever, wherever. We're having an actual discussion; you're having a troll party.
Ok cool so when you promise to stop driving your car that smells bad, and also causes cancer let alone climate change then I will take you seriously. Otherwise you are just another hypocrite that wants to bash people who you don’t like.
DP. A couple posters here said no one will GAF if I look down on them and treat them like trash for BEING TRASHY. So, NOT sorry, the skunk smelling people are trash and will be bashed, unapologetically.
Lmao okay. That doesn't affect them at all but I bet it feels so good for you to type that out.
