Voting to put people in prison because of smells is certainly a take.

It's not about the smell. Secondhand marijuana smoke carries many of the same harmful compounds as cigarette smoke [1]. The issue is involuntary exposure in shared living spaces. And ballot measures are typically all-or-nothing: you can't vote yes on edibles but no on smoking in your apartment complex.

I get that fucking smell everywhere now even while it's still illegal.

Not all bans are criminal, and tobacco smoke has problems beyond odor.
