Marijuana Question from a Prospective Tenant

[Michael McDevitt]

I live in Colorado, where both medical & recreational marijuana is legal.  

Today, I just listed my best rental home on Zillow.  It is in an exclusive neighborhood, and is a very nice large home.  In fact, it will be the home my wife and I move to after our youngest finishes H.S. in our current neighborhood.

I got an email from a prospective tenant, asking if I allowed medical marijuana at my property.  It is the first time I have ever been asked that question.  I don't allow smoking in this property, so I simply responded with that answer.  But, it got me to thinking - can a landlord "discriminate" if marijuana is legal?  Has anyone had to deal with this question?

Marijuana in all forms is against federal law. The federal government can seize your property under civil asset forfeiture laws if they are so inclined.

That being said, I have several tenants who smoke Marijuana and I could care less.
