To think that smoking weed outside in the summer is anti social

I am not sure that I follow your logic. Do you mean that, as some foreign workers are treated badly, people should not mind that people in the UK are exploited as part of the cannabis industry?

I don’t think the existence of Shein means that middle class people buying cannabis are virtuous. They are still criminals.

I agree . Weed is horrible . People think it's harmless. I don't agree.

I absolutely hate the smell of weed. But I live in Birmingham so it's everywhere! To be fair no one smokes it around my house / street but I'm always catching wafts of it when I go to work .. on the bus .. from cars .. I think normal cigarettes are fine compared to the rancid weed smell.

Massively anti-social, I’m horrified that the new neighbour (who thinks he can do as he pleases, including damaging our property) is a weed smoker. My DH had to ask him to move off the entrance to our drive today by getting out of the car, I’m hoping he clocked the word ‘Police’ on my DH’s sleeve.

Most people buying shite from China don’t care about the Uyghurs who are starved and locked up to produce it, or about the women who work in clothing factories in unsafe conditions, being sexually assaulted and earning pence per hour, or the fact that the Aral Sea has all but dried up due to the demand for cotton.

The illegal cannabis farms are usually run by criminal gangs who exploit vulnerable people like illegal migrants and those with learning difficulties - the victims of modern slavery. The growers are in no position to genetically modify anything.

Someone upthread said that they expect cannabis to be legalised. I don’t - partly because there is a mental health crisis and no funding but mainly because there is no political appetite for doing so. However, even if it were legalised next week, someone buying illegal cannabis today is a criminal. They are not bothered about exploiting kids on scooters or poor souls who are starved and locked up to work on cannabis farms.

I smoke regular weed for pain relief. The medical stuff is absurdly expensive. I have a chronic pain condition and without it I have no option but opiate pain killers which fuck me up. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks and I have a very respectable job and am considered a pillar of the community 😂😂😂😂

My hose would be periodically shooting water over the fence. Whoops!

I don't hate the smell and I don't disapprove of smoking it- however, there does seem to be a cross-section between weed-smokers and people who don't respect shared spaces. My downstairs neighbour smokes weed. He leaves the butts everywhere. Put them in a pot ffs. So yes, it's selfish.

I smoke weed too, indoors.

I've always said that the growers have missed a trick: why don't they genetically modify the plant so it doesn't stink?

I was standing at a bus stop Wednesday morning and a guy was smoking it, they don't care about anybody else.

They recommend vaping it

But it's still weed, so you can smoke it or eat it or anything else you can do with normal weed.

Has normally been irradiated though which kills bugs (and terps) and it tastes like shit. They're kind of more recently realising that the entourage effect of the terps is important to it's medical benefit though

I never smoke weed outside, it’s not something I want my neighbours to know about - they suffer under the delusion that I’m a respectable person.

On my own here but I love the smell of weed 🤣

This. I wouldn't want my kids breathing it. YANBU OP, they're adults and can damage their health/bodies as they please, but neighbours shouldn't have to suffer it. The smell is awful too, gives me a headache.

I wouldn't have thought that 'medicinal marijuana' would be smoked, rather like methadone isn't injected.

It’s not something that would bother me
I’d be more bothered by loud music, kids screaming and smoke and meat smells from bbqs.

Weed is horrible. My next door but one neighbour is outside every two to three hours smoking a joint. Doesn’t matter so much in the winter but in the summer I want to open windows and back door and then my house bloody stinks of it too. Drives me insane that my kids bedrooms stink of his weed. Completely anti social and illegal but it’s treated as if it’s legal now. I constantly smell it when I’m out and about!

Wouldn't bother me.

I suggest talking to them.

If they kept it within their space, thats fine but smoke spreads and therefore, its anti-social as its impacting on everyone around them.

If it’s that synthetic shit or mixed garbage that youngsters are always smoking, yes. That shit gives me a headache, just like cigarettes.

Good marijuana - can’t say I’d mind much.

Well no I don't think it is anti social. Its their garden, you dont own the air 🤷‍♀️

I don't get how it can be ALL day, surely they couldn't afford to smoke it for 10 hours much less would they be able to form a sentence.

We were looking round an English Heritage stately home and gardens the other day and could smell it 😂
