Just growing pains as cannabis prohibition  ends. In California backyard cannabis grows have been come so common that during a warm  day in the fall you can smell cannabis growing on several places in any block you go to. As a cannabis consumer 43 years I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of the skunky odor of a healthy pot grow but this too shall pass as cannabis becomes readily available in retail stores and less and less people find the need to grow it in the backyard.
