They own the land, not the person.
If they wanted to put MJ smoke detectors that also detect regular smoke... that is one thing...
But to say, I'm your mother and I get to tell you what you can or cannot put into your body... treason.
EDIT: Why the downvoates ? No one said you couldn't take the damn batteries out .....

Landowners (should) get to decide what kind of person is allowed on their land.
They don't want to turn worthless pot-head degeneratess into valuable human beings, they just want to keep them off their property.
In other news, this little bit of "gibs for the dirtballs" will cause a housing shortage when landlords convert their apartments to AirBnB units.

" worthless pot-head degeneratess"
...are you assuming all people that smoke are degenerates ?
I believe there is a document that protects all human life from blatant discrimination , albeit they must be born within our borders... but protected none the less.
To say you know someone you just met , is arrogance.

The goal is to ensure prospective renters are treated equally, according to Councilmember Lisa Herbold, who championed the policy. When landlords pick one renter among multiple qualified applicants, their own biases — conscious or unconscious — may come into play, she says...
The horrors...oh the humanity...a landlord will rent to someone who won't cause problems and pay the rent on time.

Liberals do not like quality control.

The screening is to check the credit rating of a potential renter. Bad rating usually means people who don't pay the rent. Seattle will begin melting down due to liberals gone wild.

begin melting down
You know how I know you haven't been paying attention the last 20 years?
[–] Omnipresent 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
Even simpler. The best tenants are the ones that you are referred to by your current or previous (nondelinquent) tenants. Just keep the property empty until then; a bad tenant, especially in places like Seattle, will probably cost you more money than you would have lost keeping it empty.
This ban isn't going to hold.

It's going to go the same way as hiring. We don't post positions any more and only hire based on internal referral.
Same with rentals now, I guess. You're going to have to know someone that can vouch for you.

Internal referral is already preferred when renting. This will just make it a lot worse; just leave the home empty and unlisted until someone you trust knows a guy.

because the liberal government wants population replacement. They want to commit genocide but lack the balls and the fortitude to actually carry it out. Limp wristed cowards.
