DOYLE, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur specially and in the judgment. I agree with the majority that this case should be reversed because the affidavit for the search warrant contained sufficient information for the issuance of a search warrant based upon “a strong[ ], overwhelming odor of raw marijuana” smelled by the officers upon entering the residence. I also agree with the majority that State v. Pando6 should be overruled. Nevertheless, I write specially because I do not agree that it is necessary to disapprove the other cases cited by the majority.

 284 Ga. App. 70, 76-77 (2) (a) (643 SE2d 342) (2007).
