Does that go for hearing too? If police hear somebody yelling for help, should they also be forced to get a warrant because hey that can't prove what they heard?

You're being ridiculous here. Marijuana has a distinctive odour. Probable cause is also evaulted as a whole. Police officers who smell Marijuana, then enter a residence and find Marijuana, is a pretty good case for probable cause. Clearly the Supreme Court agrees.

On the same hand, Police Officers that claimed they smelled Marijuana, enter a residence and found no Marijuana but a stash of guns instead, would be a pretty good example of where they did in fact NOT have probable cause.
