Marijuana

Interfering with the sale of your home, intentionally or not, can be dealt with. I forget the law, but there is one.

Wait until winter to show it?

Give it time, it'll sell. The BBQ is a good idea, and personally, I would not believe everything the realtor tells ya. Turn on the potential buyer to the BBQ and a "salad" from you neighbors garden perhaps, then hand them a pen 20 minutes later.
Seriously, there are plenty of people pulling down enough money to afford your home that have no issues with caregiver medicinal use. And to tell you the truth, I am rather surprised all these potential buyers recognize the smell.. but like I said, that's according to the realtor, hopefully she isn't spilling the beans about the neighbor..
Something doesn't quite add up to tell you the truth?

I'd introduce them to the local sheriff.

you sound like a good neighbor to have

A useful tip for selling a home is to bake bread or a pie just before or during a showing. When we were selling ours 10 years ago my wife prepared and froze several pies. She would bake one before the realtor and potential buyer arrived. We just had to do that three times before the house sold. So we had several pies left in the freezer which we managed to eat before we moved.

Hahaha. My mistake for not thinking about it being legal elsewhere. It is illegal here and if my neighbors were growing and smoking it and it was preventing me from selling my house, first, I'd probably give them an ample talk and ask nicely for them to quit, but if that didn't work, I'd do just what I said, introduce them to the local sheriff.

Nobody cares about small scale pot grow operations. When you get over and acre or so, they might take notice, but back yard grows are nothing to get excited about. If they regulated sale like Washington did they would put most of the back yard growers out of business.

"skunks in the area" is another good excuse. I had a neighbor that was growing and for the longest time I thought it was the skunks we had in the area. I later realized it was their plants that smelled. You can tell perspective buyers that you had a skunk in the yard. Just a thought. . .

For some reason I'm not sure skunks would help sell a house! :laughing:

In WA an medical card holder can legally grow up to 15 plants and 24oz on hand so even with the change in recreational use there will still be medical users growing it. also some could be selling (trading) to other card holders which is perfectly legal.

It's a bad situation to be in for sure RE the home sale. is the smell coming from an outdoor grow or indoor grow? if indoor they must have a lot of plants for the smell to be escaping the house. they could install some carbon filtering but that could be costly and not worth it to them so maybe some negotiations could be made. if outdoor grow there is not much you can do except hope that the wind is blowing in the right direction or wait until they harvest and the smell will be reduced. most plants don't really smell until they are towards the end of their grow cycle. if it's the smell of MJ burning you might recommend they use a vaporizer, this virtually eliminates all associated smell that comes from burning with fire. the thc/cbd's are still released due to the heat but not burned. from what I have read this is how true medical users consume marijuana.

good luck with your sale, I hope it all works out.

Here in california I have a script for 99 plants and can possess 16 pounds. The state doesn't even want to mess with it. If you get caught with more than what is stated on your script (mine is about as high as you can get) they call the Feds and let those knuckleheads deal with it. I pay extra for the high numbers on the script. It's called a growers script. Gettin close to harvest time. Then I can help all the sick people in Cali. I'm doing Gods work. Your welcome.
