Not all smells are equal. Just cause it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean that others are not affected. An example of which you are all ignoring.
We're not ignoring it, but your problem smells aren't universal. I personally can barely breathe when someone has certain perfumes on. I can tell walking down a hallway in my condo, should I push to have perfume disallowed in condos?
If its strong enough to cause you issues in your own unit, then yes.
If the literal existence of the smell is a problem for me? Really. So I am in the building and I can smell smoke, period.

It's not unreasonable. There's lots of stuff already about that.
My workplace disallows perfume, straight up, because it has caused people with asthma to get attacks before. So they just don't allow it.
If someone in your building was using so much perfume that you, or your wife, or your child, were having to go to the ER because it caused attacks, would you move out? Or ask for consideration?
I would move to ban perfume from condos, honestly I would move to ban all strong smells and loud noises outside of designated areas, people need to shut the fuck up and not smell so much in general
Broke as fuck and the bills past due, all amounts assist and are kindly received.
If you make cannabis legal but don't allow people to smoke it anywhere WTF is the point?
Smoking weed should be allowed anywhere smoking a cigarette is allowed. Most condos are moving towards banning all kinds of smoking I I totally understand. So let me go to the park across the street and light a J like I would if I was a cigarette smoker.

I work in a scent-free building that will send you home if you have a strong-smell that proves an issue to somebody else.
I believe the initial mailers regarding upcoming Marijuana policies were essentially: we don't allow you to drink here or show up drunk, same goes for marijuana. But there will probably be some intersections with the scent-free policies.
If the literal existence of the smell is a problem for me? Really. So I am in the building and I can smell smoke, period.
I'm genuinely confused by your reaction here. You're the judge of whether or not something is enough of an impediment or imposition that you would take action about it. It shouldn't surprise you that others would or have taken action over things that cause them impediment or imposition. Just because you can't imagine having an issue with smells doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to imagine someone else can or does. <_<

Halifax is doing that. We'll see how it pans out or if it sticks, but unifying where you can drink/smoke certainly addresses that in the reverse. Which is to say they're banning it all in public. :P
To be clear in Halifax there will be designated smoke zones thoughout the municipality but the city has been vague and it will surely be a total facking goat roping cause stuff ain't run good round here
Anyway it seems less complicated than the discourse would imply, if your shit is bothering someone adjust your shit
Broke as fuck and the bills past due, all amounts assist and are kindly received.
No one's ignoring it. It's just not a convincing argument.
I'm not beholden to you preferences.
If like minded people band together to make buildings or private businesses "smoke free" or "whatever free" that's great.
Or, change the laws themselves if you think you can.
Until then, the greater world doesn't need to bend to your particular will.
We already have laws. That's what you are complaining about: that you don't get to make others feel sick all the time.
Smoking used to be allowed everywhere. We stopped that because it reduced quality of life and life expectancy of non smokers.
How did you miss the part where I said that's fine?
I don't smoke, either cigarettes or weed. I am also not in the business of making other people stop doing things I personally don't like.
Im not hounding my city council to ban speakerphone talkers. The world does not revolve around my wants.
Secondhand smoke kills people. Literally. With cancer.
Nobody is disagreeing with that. The problem is you're conflating being able to smell something and second hand smoke and they aren't the same thing.
Nova, for your case, you're going to have to either petition the condo board to change the policy or join the board and endeavor to change the policy from within. If you cannot sell, that's probably going to be a big enough issue for enough residents that you should be able to agitate for change from within the board. The policy doesn't work for you, so you need to take active steps to have the policy changed.

Yeah, but changing the bylaw requires 75% vote, apparently. But we'll see. They usually hold the meetings when I'm at work, but I'll attend the next one, even if I have to take the day off to do it.

3/4s majority? O_o
Do they need 2/3s of the provinces comprising at least 50% of the population, too?

I think it's a safe bet there will be a lot of people interested in what you have to say when you start telling them that this is significantly decreasing the value of their property. And if you can't sell your property it is worth exactly $0 (or technically less because you need to pay taxes and condo fees).
Good luck figuring this out regardless!

See, the funny thing coming back to this is I wasn't even talking about pot. Or not specifically. I was more thinking cigarettes but same shit really. They should be treated exactly the same, which mostly means banning smoking either one from all sorts of places.
It's totally legal to do either (or will be very soon). But your inability to find somewhere to do it that doesn't negatively effect others is not my problem or of basically any concern. People will figure something out. People still smoke cigarettes after all.

Yes, I am eagerly awaiting spending some $20 each way to get to a smoke lounge that hasnt been blocked through zoning, bylaws, and special measures by local residents just to toke up.
Assuming that is that Taxis will pick you up after you reek like weed (the smell might transfer and then its doing economic harm to them).
Or spending your entire high getting anxiety about how long before you can drive back home and try to relax, which is why you smoked in the first place.
All I want, is to be able to go out on my patio / balcony, or some random smoker ‘pit’ that is the appropriate distance from the entrance and light up for a couple minutes.

Both are far worse public health risks.
I like the comparison to noise pollution, noise is something eveyone makes, and has a different tolerance for, much like odour. We need some sort of common sense limits instead of blanket bans or the wild west of escalating brinksmanship.

I think some level of smoke detector that can measure PPM would be a fair compromise. Someone is stinking up the place, they are responsible for the costs of cleaning it up.
People who smoke weed should all just start using vaporizers. Significantly less smell, better high, smoother smoke, maybe less carcinogens.. It's a shame the shops and culture are almost as repulsive as weed shops and culture, but who even buys things in stores anymore anyway?
