A Colorado man who got a visit from police after a pizza delivery driver smelled marijuana at his home is getting free pizza from a rival restaurant.

Frederick Smith said police searched his home in Aurora after a Papa John’s driver smelled marijuana there last week.

The driver reported a child was in the home at the time.

Smith told 9News he is a registered medical-marijuana user. Papa John’s has said it stands by its employee.

One of its Denver-based rivals, Sexy Pizza, said Thursday that it would give Smith one free pizza monthly until Colorado voters decide a proposed 2012 ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana for recreational use.

Sexy Pizza says it will extend the offer for life if voters pass the initiative.
