Not enough trees. Nor enough employment in my non-remoteable field.
Public smoking is a concern, but the smoke will leak even if smoked inside of a home. With edibles and inhalers I don't understand why people thought it was a good idea to legalize marijuana smoking.

Generalizing the principle of the swinging your fists near someone else's nose saying.
Your sense of smell is subjective, and not a good reason for legislation.
You do know that, right? I'm not detecting any humour markers...

Wish it stopped at just the smell.
Second hand weed is harmful.

Being able to smell from the outside that someone is smoking inside their home is not "second hand smoking". You'd need to be in the same room as them to get the necessary level of exposure.

I don't agree with that. If blasting music can be a matter for legislation (nuisance laws and the like), then so can bothering people around you with the reek of smoking weed.
As mentioned, there are already laws around smoking in public.

You do understand that many tort suits, and outright laws, are over subjective harms, right? (trash in neighbors yards, loud sounds late at night, smells from chemical industries, etcetera) That laws such as disability protection laws exist?

... None of your examples are like for like.
Lots of people love the smell of cannabis. No one loves "trash in neighbors yards, loud sounds late at night, smells from chemical industries".
Arguing in bad faith is lame dude.
