Denver Legalizes Pot But Outlaws Being a Stinky Hippie

In Denver you can smoke all the dope you want. But if your pot odor exceeds 7 times the concentration of fresh air, you can be hit with a 2,000 dollar pollution fine for being a stinky hippie. And oh yes, there is a technology cops are using to sniff out stinkies. Oh the lulzy justice!

From the Telegraph here:

Police in Denver are using a nose telescope to tackle odors from the recreational use of marijuana.

The nose telescope – also known as an olfactometer – is the device used to measure the concentration of cannabis in the air

As more cities in America legalize the drug, attention has switched to the pungent smell that wafts from the joint itself. Denver has passed a new “odor ordinance” with a potential $2,000 fine for anyone found guilty of polluting the atmosphere.

The need to draw up standards emerged because of the confusion over the legal position of whether somebody smoking marijuana in their own home could be committing an environmental offence when the smell seeps into the street.

Under the new law an offence is committed if the odor is detectable when the smoke is mixed with seven times the volume of clean air. The nose telescope – also known as an olfactometer – is the device used to measure the concentration of cannabis in the air.

Dope smoking hippies aren’t known for their outstanding hygiene. So basically, Denver outlawed being a smelly dirtbag potsmoking loser. I wonder where they will get the cash to pay a 2,000 dollar fine? That’s a lot of lattes served at the local coffee shop.
