Arizona bill targets excessive marijuana smoke as public nuisance, facing privacy and enforcement concerns.
Arizona Senator J.D.
Mesnard has introduced a bill that would classify excessive marijuana smoke—even from homes—as a Class 3 misdemeanor and public nuisance, aiming to address neighbor complaints about odor, especially affecting children.
The legislation, which lacks a definition for "excessive," seeks to empower local governments to set odor control standards, reflecting growing concerns over secondhand smoke from recreational cannabis use.
While supporters say it promotes responsible use, critics warn the vague language could enable government overreach and harm medicinal users.
The bill is pending a committee hearing, raising questions about privacy, enforcement, and balancing public health with individual rights.
