Stop kids staying in a house where there's weed being smoked?

My ex is living with his mum and he has mentioned the children coming to stay the night soon... his mum used to smoke weed and after a recent upset she's started again. I've been in the house recently and can smell it. I don't want my children going there or staying the night if she's smoking... do I have any rights to this? What is solution, to have my ex in my house for his time with them?

No way. But I am the squarest person alive when it comes to weed. I hate the stuff.

I’m not sure on legal rights but I also wouldn’t be happy with someone under the influence of anything looking after my child and I definitely wouldn’t be happy for them to be staying in a home where anyone is smoking anything inside, cannabis or otherwise.

Weed is less harmful than alcohol, so if anyone ever drinks alcohol in your house when the children are there, it's hypocritical to say there's a problem with them being in a house where cannabis may be consumed.

However, you'll notice I said "consumed", rather than "smoked". Smoking anything is bad not only for the smoker, but those around them - say to him you expect the mother to either consume her cannabis another way or smoke in the garden.
