Marijuana around commercial properties
Has anyone experienced an issue with tenants or tenants' employee/vendors smoking marijuana in states that have made it legal? I have one tenant complaining about occasional smell of marijuana. I think it's coming from the employee of another tenant. Of course, this being California, not sure I can even restrict the use, due to the "medical marijuana" excuse.
This hasn't reached a problem status yet, but just thinking ahead as it may get there.

It's a tricky question and one best suited for a real estate attorney well versed in marijuana statutes. I would recommend Vicente Sederberg, LLP, even a quick google search will tell you what you need to know about their experience.
