This bill's aim is simple. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of marijuana legalization for both medical and recreational use. But I thought the High for Hours Act took things a little too far. This unlimited freedom for residents granted too much leeway for disturbances to occur in neighborhoods.

It could pose a safety and health risk for neighbors living next to a citizen who has an overgrown swath of a marijuana garden that can easily pour over into someone else's backyard. Not to mention the fire hazard it poses that becomes detrimental to the surrounding environment.

So at present, federal law prohibits localities from regulating this as well?

Well the High for Hours Act gives unlimited autonomy.

IIRC the High For Hours Act bans Regional caps on the number of home grown plants.

Indeed, this is precisely the reason it needs to be regulated.
