Police use 'nose telescope' for cannabis odour mapping

[Jazzy]

Denver has passed a new “odor ordinance” with a potential $2,000 (£1,247) 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.

I suppose its only fair to the non smokers out there to want to live in a stink-free environment. Are people smoking so much that its making the whole city of Denver smell like weed?

How about vehicle exhaust fumes? Are they less harmful to your health than breathing in some pot smoke?

So, they're worried about pot smoke polluting the air? Really? Instead of worrying about important stuff they're worried about crap like this...

People have the capability of being worried about multiple things at the same time. Who says they're not worried about important stuff at the same time as being worried about this? :s
