Cathedral City Residents Demand Action Over Lingering Cannabis Odor
Residents of Outdoor Resorts in Cathedral City are tired, frustrated, and demanding answers about the ongoing cannabis odor issue. Despite efforts to address the problem, the smell persists, and now, concerns are shifting to mysterious late-night emissions coming from the facility.
New Evidence: What’s in the Air?
Local resident Rick captured photos of a large cloud being expelled from the cannabis manufacturing plant on Ramone Road at 12:15 a.m. Friday morning. According to Rick, the venting lasted for 45 minutes, fueling speculation about what chemicals or substances might be in the air.
"The smell is unbearable, and this has been going on for too long," said Rick. "Why is this still happening, and what exactly are we breathing in?"
City Delays & Resident Frustration
Despite repeated complaints, the city has yet to take decisive action, leading some to question whether officials are dragging their feet. The company responsible for the plant may also wonder why the issue is suddenly a problem after years without enforcement.
Residents argue that the city needs to step in and shut down operations until the odor problem is fully resolved.
What’s Next?
With photos and firsthand accounts providing mounting evidence, residents are demanding accountability. The big question remains: How much more proof does the city need before it finally takes action?
