So pissed off. Great neighbours moving because of weed smell *

First of all 'Skunk' is a pretty low THC % strain that is as rare as rocking horse shite these days. Do you ever talk with the people who use it? Might be worth mentioning that you have heard people in the street talking about getting the police involved and have they considered getting a dry herb vaporizer instead because this drastically cuts down on the smell. Stoners get pretty paranoid quickly and this might scare them into doing something about it.
I personally like the smell and I have a couple of cannabis perfumes in my collection.

Haven’t heard that word in a long time, skunk/cheese 🥴

I live in the NE and within a small distance we have a wide range of housing from £50,000 small terraces upto £750,000 detached luxury housing.
When I walk our dog the smell of weed is across all the areas and firstly I think who needs to smoke it at 7am but secondly how bad ut must smell in the houses next door. It has such a pungent smell it must just hang about all the time. We're foster carers and wonder whatt would happen if such a person moved in next door!!
I would report as often as needed and ask the Councillors for advice/help.
I also agree with the PP who mentioned it being stronger when lamps are on etc. I believe its easy to check regarding heat output so it think its sonething police could easily do.

Oh fabulous, OP! I’d be viewing asap as that will get snatched up in a flash. Keep us updated! (I would still report your neighbour btw, if he’s known for it, one report might be enough).

So did I!!

You're not alone.. Me too!!! 🙈

Report to whom? The police aren't going to do anything and it really isn't a good idea to report neighbours for things other than physical violence.

If they rent the property it's up to the landlord to inspect regularly and lay down some rules if he/she detects a problem. However the landlord may not care that much as long as the place is kept in reasonable order. Not everyone objects to pot smoking.

That's horrible! I'd prefer an actual skunk by a long way. Report,surely?

Yes, skunk is apparently a particularly pungent type of weed.
I generally quite like a waft of weed if the wind blows it my way but I don't think I'd recognise skunk.

Oh I thought you meant an animal. Do you mean they are smoking weed? Sorry I don’t inhabit this world of drug use and am not up to date with the lingo!

You may get really nice new neighbours, SonsRfab, people or a person not bothered by a bit of pot smoking. Then peace will reign.

We are a terrace of owned houses and one of the 4 rented houses behind us is constantly on the weed. The smell is extremely strong from the top floor, not like the stuff we used 40 years ago. There is a new baby next door and I do worry about the effect it could have, but I'm not the parent. We are all annoyed, but the tenants concerned are Eastern European and, shall we say, on the aggressive side (probably the skunk!), and we are more worried about their reaction if we complained to them or their landlord. I don't know the answer. What a crap country this is becoming, when we fear complaining about an illegal activity.

And I don’t hear mine in my terraced house. We are considerate.

Same! Lol

No worries! I get that we all have knee jerk reactions sometimes. But I’m sorry to hear that doesn’t match up with your experience, seriously. The doctor who oversees my medical MJ has always been really clear and conscientious about the fact that my prescription is not an excuse for antisocial behavior (ie it’s not a “get out of jail” free card for smoking up a storm and making your neighbor’s house reek), because it’s part of the law: there is 100% ban on smoking it, or your prescription is invalid.

The part of the updated Misuse of Drugs Act that covers the approval for medical MJ states (section 4.3):
“A person shall not self-administer a cannabis-based product for medicinal use in humans by the smoking of the product (other than for research purposes in accordance with regulation 13)”

Oil, or regulated-temperature vape, or edibles - smoking isn’t an option. @Frequency I would just ensure your brother knows if he’s smoking it, he can still be arrested for cannabis, because he’s invalidating the prescription (doesn’t matter where the prescription is from). Also, I mentioned where I get it from because you said he got it from Curaleaf and maybe they’re not telling people not to smoke; the people I get my prescription from make it clear you are not allowed to smoke.

It was people going outside to smoke that caused our last flat to stink of the bloody stuff, as it was drifting in through the trickle vents or open windows. Once I had DC to consider I was a bit bolder about going outside and politely asking them to smoke elsewhere, and to be fair, they did. And if they'd said no, I totally would have called the police. "Live and let live" does not extend to filling someone else's home with illegal carcinogenic fumes.

Well you can't hear the neighbours in a detached house.
