Stop the Smell: Fraser Valley group calls on province to address cannabis odour in parts of region

ABBOTSFORD (NEWS 1130) – People living in rural parts of Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, and Abbotsford have apparently had a stinky summer.

According to Stop the Smell, pot farms around the Fraser Valley are giving off a stink that is ruining the way of life for people living nearby.

The group claims cannabis farmers are failing when it comes to making sure their systems are filtering the air to prevent odour.

“Anyone who has driven through the farmlands of the south Fraser, and elsewhere in B.C., know the marijuana operations are failing at this,” the Stop the Smell website reads.

It’s calling on locals to send emails to the premier, B.C.’s agriculture minister, and the Agricultural Land Commission to tell them about the pot farms which are apparently smelling up the various areas.

“It’s time for the ALC to step in and demand marijuana farmers follow the laws of Canada and address their odour issues. It’s time to Stop The Smell.”

The Stop the Smell group says it welcomes the legal cannabis industry to its Fraser Valley farming communities, but notes only if growers are “good neighbours, follow the law, and Stop The Smell.”
