Warning new tenants about the weed...?

Hello BP community!

I'm about to advertise a 3rd floor apartment and could use some advice on how to handle this situation.  The 2nd floor tenant has a medical marijuana card and smokes outside.  She's also on a lease, so asking her to leave is not an option at this time.  The smoke rises and wafts into this vacant unit (one of the reasons the last tenant left).  Would you say anything to prospective tenants when showing the unit?  It's no one's business why the 2nd floor tenant smokes, but it seems wrong to withhold this information if it's going to bother the new tenant/family upstairs.

Just because someone has a medical card doesn't give them the right to interfere with the right to quiet enjoyment of their neighbors. I would tell the pot smoker to stand at least 20 feet from the building or sit in her car or something. Is she so disabled that she can't walk that far?
