I am 14 years old, I live in New Brunswick. My neighbors smoke marijuana, and I smell it each time I go to play outside. It is really annoying… are there any laws in Canada or New Brunswick prohibiting marijuana or prohibiting it for the protection of a minor?
 
Yes, it is still illegal to possess, traffic or support its distribution, unless the use for medical purposes is sanctioned by the state.
You raise an interesting point about the "smell" wafting to your privacy. Not long ago a precedent was set in the courts, that held that the police cannot get a warrant based solely on the detection of "smell". I believe that the police must act, however, if more than one person complains about its presence. Others will hopefully clarify this issue. There are some gray areas in the law in regard to pot use in the country.
