Cannabis Smell Threatens Health in Raymond | Portland Maine News

A Raymond resident’s health is in crisis as his neighbor’s outdoor cannabis grow floods his home with toxic fumes, triggering headaches, rashes, and worsening his upcoming heart surgery. The problem isn’t isolated — another neighbor undergoing chemo reports similar effects on his wife, who also has heart issues. Frustrated, the resident took the issue to the planning board, arguing that small lots can’t handle outdoor grows without proper odor control. Despite a new town ordinance limiting outdoor plants to twelve per property — requiring enclosed setups and setback distances — the neighbor allegedly planted over fifty plants the day after passage. Town officials have issued a violation notice, and an appeal hearing looms next month, turning a backyard dispute into a community health emergency.
