COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - People in a Commerce City neighborhood say the smell of marijuana coming from a grow house is so strong, at times, they can't go outside.
"Last summer, as it started to warm up, it's like, "'Gosh, what is that smell?'" said Moser.
"We couldn't sit out on our patio, because it just kind of ruins your drink or your dinner."
Other neighbors are also turning up their noses to the stink.
"You can close every window turn everything off, and you can still smell it inside," said Melissa, who did not want to use her last name.
Neighbors complained to police, and a police report states that eventually drug task force officers were allowed inside the home, finding 76 marijuana plants in a basement that had been converted into a full-fledged grow house.
The report states that the Vietnamese family that owns the house admitted to running grow operations in two homes in the neighborhood, claiming it was all legal and showing a permit to grow as medical marijuana users and caregivers.
The report states that the District Attorney closed the case citing "insufficient evidence."
