Concerns over neighbours lifestyle choices.

I actually don’t see the issue in reporting it. Either his bosses will have a chat with him and drug test clearing him or they’ll ignore it and no harm no foul. The police protect each other they’re not going to fire him with 0 evidence of wrongdoing.

I didn’t realise until now that you started this thread drunk on Sat night. Good news though, you can do your ironing and lawnmower ing from tonight 😂

This reminds me of when elderly people post their Google questions as a Facebook post.

I've been so drunk before that I’ve thrown up but I still knew my way around a very basic webpage.

Might be worth taking some time away from MN OP. This site has enough pathetic, unhinged women ranting about nonsense without you adding to it just because you had a couple of drinks.

I had great fun on this thread but you know what? I think it's time to stop.

The OP has apologized and admitted she was drunk.

It was an absolute classic but there comes a point where we are just piling on. Just my thoughts.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read on mumsnet to date… you wait 48 hours after drinking a glass of wine before using your iron 😂. I know people who have to be drinking wine to get through their ironing.

And…. ?!

The messed with brain that the wrong kind of weed consumption has delivered to some I've known was much worse than death

Who are you running over with the lawn mower?? 😂
Brilliant!

I'm embarrassed for you at how nasty you sound...

You wait 48 hours after a glass of wine, before you'll iron something or mow the lawn?

How straight laced can you get? 😆

Or at its best if you find it really funny.

What on earth are you doing? Typing words doesn't make anything happen. 🤣 It's MN, not Alexa.

As for passively getting high, do you have any idea how ridiculous that is? Just learn to mind your own business, you sound like the local curtain twitcher. What's next, checking his recycling?

...

Good of you to apologise OP, but I must admit I did chuckle at the desperate attempts to stop the thread 😂
It was the “settings” and then “settings to stop notifications” that really killed me 😅

If you click on ‘see all’ at the bottom of the OP, you’ll see the apology from OP, which explains all.

Medicinal users who are prescribed cannabis do not smoke the drug, it is taken as a tincture or in the form of edibles, because smoking anything is unhealthy.

Quite a lot of people also take it illegally for recreational use, without smoking it, so obviously much more discreet.

This means that people in positions of public trust could take it without their pearl clutching neighbours knowing a thing.

Noones bitter you just sound like an utter prat. But in case it’s not completely
clear by this point - no you shouldn’t report your neighbour to his work because his teenage son is smoking weed. I’m embarrassed for you.

My son, in his 40s suffers from drug induced paranoia. He has spent several months sectioned in secure mental institutions, a situation I would not wish on anyone. He is now clean, we think, but he struggles to hold down a minimum wage job, struggles with relationships, and his life, which in his teens was promising, is in ruins. He started smoking as a teenager, and really took off when he started uni. I get sick of people laughing at cannabis use, saying it's only cannabis, just a bit of weed. When we found out he was using, we did all we could to dissuade him, but at the time every bit of evidence we found re it's dangers, he produced others saying it was harmless, safer than tobacco, the government are considering legalisation so it must be safe, etc etc. His use has destroyed our family dynamic, We still have a relationship with him, despite him attacking DH in our kitchen, and threatening to stab his flat mate due to paranoia thus lead to his sectioning, and the start of him getting away from it's use. DD will have nothing to do with him, due to the way he treated us, which makes, what should be fun family occasions, such as Chrstmas a strained day, with us just hoping to get through the day, without a major row breaking out. We know of about 7 other families with the same issues. Cannabis is a filthy, life destroying drug, that has infiltrated our society, ignored by most politicians, encouraged by some, and is destroying lives. It should be made prescription only, and illegal users should be heavily punished until it's use is driven out. So to all those who laugh and say 'it's only a bit if weed' I hope you and your loved ones are the lucky ones and get away with it's use. With what I know now, I would report it. If they are minors and their dad is in the police and allowing it then he is stupid and not fit for the responsibility he holds. In the police he would have seen first hand the effects if the drug, and the problems caused by the dealers. By doing nothing he is complicit in an illegal trade.

Actually it's not a gateway drug.

It can be medicinal, that may be why his dad allows him to smoke it.

I personally hate the smell. If I was in the garden and smelt it I'd be pissed off but I'd have a word with the neighbours - he could smoke it in the shed for example but they may need an air handler to remove the smell.

As for reporting it, it is illegal unless medicinal and his dad could lose his job, so I think you're over reacting.

Jesus Fuck. MN at its very worst...

yes dramatic! Imagine you could ruin the guys career and could put him in hardship because his son smokes a joint. Even if he smokes when he finishes work no biggie.

Could I just say that this has been the most fun I have ever had on here. Please don't delete this thread.

And ………..? The comment was that using cannabis isn’t a gateway to acquiring and using other drugs. The science supports that.

There is no decision to be made, other than to butt out (no pun intended) unless you want to start a war with your neighbours. He’s smoking the weed outside in the fresh air so your chances of a passive ‘high’ are zero.

OP you've learnt the hard way that MN is often not a caring nurturing community and when Mumsnetters get the bit between their teeth they really go for it! Sorry you were in the firing line during your first foray.
To answer your question, I don't think there's any risk from passive smoking so don't report him. It'll only make horrible trouble between you and your neighbours.
I too would be uncomfortable about a 16 year old smoking weed at home and am surprised his parents aren't discouraging it given the knowledge his dad will have.
