"Loud" Smelling Visitors
Hello ACM forum!
This is a bit of an odd question, and I don't think there is a perfect answer, but how do you handle visitors who smell of marijuana? We've had people smell of alcohol in the past who were acting as if they were under the influence, but I feel as if it may be a bit different to accuse someone of being under the influence of marijuana. Personally, it doesn't offend me, but we did have guests complain about it.
Can you really do anything about it?...
