A D.C. judge has ruled that a man who smokes medical marijuana in his apartment must stop after a neighbor complained that the odor from his marijuana crept into her home and caused a nuisance.

Edibles are a thing. I wouldn't want my newborn to second hand smoke pot.

You know if they want to make their own edibles it would be just as smelly right? I also highly doubt you’re newborn would be getting second hand smoke from another apartment it’s just the smell that carries through.

What do you think the smell is made of? If you can smell it, there are all sorts of particulates making it into your nose and particulates in general aren't good for the lungs, especially young developing lungs, whether the smoke causes a high or not. If they can smell it, they're breathing in second hand smoke.

There are places that sell edibles. If you can't make edibles in a way that vents the smell away from your neighbors' apartments, you probably shouldn't be making them in that space.

No, why do you assume I'd know that. Although I suspect you could buy oral THC like most other medication right?

Also I don't think not wanting your newborn to be around potsmoke (or "just" the smell which is somehow better??) is an unreasonable request.
