I don't have a problem with you, but let's stop with the smoke and mirrors.

I am considering converting the basement by installing an egress window, which would cost around $7,000, and adding wired smoke alarms.

Smoke alarm and CO alarm, I provide.  

Invasion of privacy, unclean and rude house members, maybe if they do drugs or smoke or are party animals, unwanted friends of theirs visiting at odd hours, clashes of personality

We figure he must’ve been smoking a cigarette. 

Smoke and carbon monoxoide detectors & fire extinguisher. 

Regular smoke detector does not pick up the smoke.  

Do we really want the government to rely on getting more people to smoke more marijuana in order to do their job protecting us and maintaining our infrastructure and schools?

Total still owed $13,600 (rent, late fees, legal fees) and $550 for the locksmith.Place reeks of pot, she had her adult son, who by the paystubs left behind only made $152 a month and spent his days laying on the couch (which reeked of pot) smoking and playing x-box (abandoned and power supply cut up). 

But seems to be a bit of a smoke screen.
