Bessemer (pop 1,905), a small town in Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula is buying an odor-detection device and drafting an ordinance to crack down on the unpleasant smell of blooming marijuana plants. According to one council member, “You can smell marijuana everywhere. We’ve got people who can’t sit in their backyard because the smell from their neighbor is so bad.” The odor problem last 6 to 8 weeks and is described by some as skunk-like. There are people I know who would disagree with that characterization.
