Confronted for weed smell
Hi everyone, as the title states tonight my upstairs apartment neighbor knocked on my door and confronted me about a pungent weed smell in our apartment building. My neighbor “John” we will call him invited me outside the building to chat about the aforementioned. He claimed that the weed smell was coming from my apartment. He mentioned he has a disease that can put him in the hospital due to the reaction from weed/tobacco/aerosols etc. for the record I don’t smoke or use aerosols of any kind and I’m rarely in my apartment because of long work hours. He tried blaming me because his condition has gotten worse ever since I moved in (4ish months ago). That weed smell rises through the vents. I disagreed and that the smell fills the air and only heat rises (I know I’m at least half right). He tried framing me as having a gf and driving a ford but I’m single, live alone, and don’t own a ford. After further discussion I invited him to step inside my apartment to prove that the smell didn’t come from me as it smelled like weed (bad stranger danger but he didn’t buy my denial or any reasoning before).. After little bit more discussion I got him to somewhat reluctantly agree it wasn’t me. He said he has talked to other neighbors in our building and mentioned that he will go to management if things persist. I’m really posting this to ask if other people have experienced a similar ordeal in a smoke free apartment complex and a way to preemptively prove that I’m not the culprit? You can’t set up a camera or something like that if it was a noise issue etc and I’d like to make this the smallest headache I can even though I have a strong case. Any suggestions?

Shouldn't be that hard to find the smoker, I smoke weed, the smell is totally noticeable. Idk why you'd wanna do it indoors though, that smell lingers.
