Man, Budsworth.....that tugged at my heartstrings...
:smoke
I don't even get it. Just impose a fine for stinky grows. Make it a progressive fine. We spent good money making sure we don't emit odors into our neighborhood. Because of that, our neighbors don't know.
Did I mention we have an absolute fantastic relationship with nearly ALL our neighbors (a couple we just don't know...but no bad relationships with any of them). Hell, they occasionally come over for drinks, and because we have no basement, they sit a few feet away from our grow room...and they still have no idea we have a garden.
And I deliver to my patients. So there is zero foot traffic coming in and out of our house.
Now, as we're seeing from posts here and elsewhere that people are just going to grow massive trees.
So they still didn't address the problem of odors, and just created a shit ton of issues that they're now going to have to deal with.
Progressive fines for "nuisance grows". Would have generated more income for Denver. A missed opportunity that I think most of us would've happily played along with. I don't offend my neighbors. Nor should anyone else. I think everyone would agree with that.
No foresight whatsoever.
