Marijuana Odor Lowers Property Value?

[Terrel L. Shields]

I understand that being in Arkansas, where pot is still illegal, you may have added concerns.

Arkansas has legal marijuana. State law does not trump Federal law. It is not "perfectly legal". Further the certification of the 1004 contains the following:

5. The appraiser has noted in this appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as needed repairs, deterioration, the
presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property or that he or
she became aware of during the research involved in performing this appraisal.
Weed can be toxic...probably will have long term impacts like cigarettes. The physiological effects are likewise similar

The human toxicity of marijuana.

Abstract
The pathophysiological effects of marijuana smoke and its constituent cannabinoids were reported first from in-vitro and in-vivo experimental studies. Marijuana smoke is mutagenic in the Ames test and in tissue culture and cannabinoids inhibit biosynthesis of macromolecules. In animals, marijuana or delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the intoxicating material it contains, produces symptoms of neurobehavioural toxicity, disrupts all phases of gonadal or reproductive function, and is fetotoxic. Smoking marijuana can lead to symptoms of airway obstruction as well as squamous metaplasia. Clinical manifestations of pathophysiology due to marijuana smoking are now being reported. These include: long-term impairment of memory in adolescents; prolonged impairment of psychomotor performance; a sixfold increase in the incidence of schizophrenia; cancer of mouth, jaw, tongue and lung in 19-30 year olds; fetotoxicity; and non-lymphoblastic leukemia in children of marijuana-smoking mothers.

Ps- banks don't lend on property they know is making moonshine either.

No wonder the industry is going to hybrids and desktops...why further complicate an already complex task?

Oh, come on. This is a reach. By this argument, I should condition the appraisal if I see a pack of cigarettes on the counter.

Did not know pot is legal in Arkansas. My apologies. Regarding “state law does not trump federal law”, it technically true but not practically true for our situation. Here, as long is pot is for personal consumption, you can light up with the chief of police and nothing will happen to you. It is different than moonshine, where it is not legal in any state and if you are caught, you go to jail and lose your house, which is why I would let the lender know.......and then make myself scarce!

i live in an old once industrial area of the city. coming from the neighborhood over, rohm & hass was the smell long ago, but you got used to it. now there is columbe coffee a block away. the smell of roasting coffee. maybe that's a plus?

my wife, when she was a little girl, had a pickle factory a couple blocks away. she always tells that story. i personally, would like the garlic dill smell better that the roasting coffee. i was told by some long owners that my area had a lot of rendering plants in the early part of the neighborhood, i think horses mostly. they said besides the bad smell, you had ash falling on everything. i guess i love living in a once industrial & port neighborhood.

You certify to that statement don't you, or just lie about it? It's from the 1004 certifications.

It is different than moonshine, where it is not legal in any state

Missouri, allows you to distill up to 100 gallons per year for "personal" consumption...don't get caught selling it. And like pot, the feds want their tax money and could arrest you anyway. So I would report the presence of same if they were brewing. It is legal to own a still up to 1 gallon in size.

According to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, there are about 1.1 billion smokers in the world, 1 in 3 adults. The world is getting to be a small and smoky place. I am pretty sure I can actually smell the cigarette smoke in the fresh ocean breezes hitting Pacifica nowadays - probably from Japan, Korea and China. Now we get another X billion people smoking pot. I feel sorry for my children and grandchildren. I'm pretty sure it takes long time for all of the toxins to be removed from the air. Just yesterday was in the drug store and this woman was bragging about how she's been smoking pot since she was 16 and it hadn't done her any harm. Only her skin looked like the skin of some kind of lizard, swelling bumps all over, very aged, I would guess somewhere in her 60's. But, I would guess she smokes cigarettes too. Don't know. But I would have to say her skin was unusually aged, like what you would expect for someone 110 years old who has been working in the sun their whole life, but somehow avoided skin cancer. ---- People who smoke pot can do really good, performance-wise, for a while, but seem to slack off with years and eventually have a more difficult time picking new ideas, solving new kinds of problems. You have to wonder, you know they did a great job on all this complex code going back years, and then they are asking for help on some remedial problem they can't figure out. They do ok ... don't expect them to be real fast changing gears though.

I have a large Whirlpool Air Filter in my upstairs office - and am frequently changing the charcoal and HEPA filters - and 80% of the time, I have a fresh ocean breeze off the Pacific Ocean. Apparently I'm going to live 4-5 years longer because of the filter.

4 more states set to give some form of legalization approval this month, bringing it to 32 states. That being said, any negative odor (cigarettes, cats, whatever) can cause a negative. Not worrying about MJ in a home.

Are you sure it isn't just fukushima leftovers. Now take a deep breath. And don't eat the fish.

And to clarify the feds trump states misconception, the federal government powers are written in the constitution, anything that is not delegated to them in the constitution is left to the states and the people.

Well, I'm not at all sure what is being said, but get the sense that someone has been offended. That's not a good thing. But I feel that evil deed is trumped by the good that has been done in the process.
