The Pungent Stench of Marijuana: A Growing Concern for Phoenix Residents
For many travelers, the strong smell of marijuana wafting from Interstate 10 near the airport is an unwelcome and unacceptable experience. The stench, which has returned after a brief hiatus, is not only a nuisance but also a health hazard that causes distress for those who encounter it.
David Engman, a resident of Scottsdale, is one such individual who is fed up with the smell. He drives by the area twice a day and is frustrated that the city has not taken adequate measures to address the issue. Engman is not alone in his frustration, as many others have expressed similar concerns about the impact of the smell on their daily lives.
In addition to the health concerns, the smell of marijuana is also a source of annoyance for many residents. It is a constant reminder of the city’s permissive approach to marijuana use, which has led to an increase in the number of dispensaries and grow operations in the area.
While some may argue that the smell is a minor inconvenience, it is clear that it is a growing concern for many Phoenix residents. It is time for the city to take action and implement measures to reduce the smell and improve the quality of life for its residents.
