@Nancy Carr What type of property in this? Duplex or larger MFH?
I very recently dealt with this myself. Tenants that share an owner occupied duplex with me thought they were being sneaky. Fortunate for me, I reached out letting them know I could smell pot and although I'm not sure if it was them or a neighboring building, reminded them that there was a strict no smoking policy . Stopped the issue in its tracks without too much confrontation (so far...).
If there are multiple tenants in the building I would suggest reaching out in order to make the problem known without necessarily accusing the subject tenant. Let them know you are actively pursuing the problem and that all tenants are being made aware. This could raise awareness to what they may believe is going unnoticed and stop it without much confrontation.

@Nancy Carr Apologies! Missed the "Duplex" in your title. That said, I would suggest taking a non-accusation approach to the initial conversation which can serve as a reminder to see if the problem stops.
