tenant smoking weed

Tenant is smoking weed in our townhome. It's legal in our state.  The lease clearly states that smoking is prohibited.  Neighbor who shares a wall is complaining to us and has asked the tenant not to smoke in the unit.  There is no carpet in the unit, so it probably won't hold onto the smell, plus weed smell doesn't linger like cigarette smoke does... do we let it go, or play hardball and enforce the lease and risk a lengthy and expensive eviction?

No smoking is no smoking. I learned about this after a tenant had moved out one time and it was as bad as cigarettes.
