Concerns over neighbours lifestyle choices.

@HumbleHun Is doobie slang for weed? I hate the smell. You’re not overreacting. You’ve somehow attracted lots of people who use weed to your post. Im in my 20s and I don’t want the weed stench near my child.

Just go round and speak to your neighbour. Is it that hard?

Probably one of the funniest comment sections I’ve seen on MN 😂😂 the OP keep commenting ‘stop notifications, delete thread’ has made my day 😂😂 and my favourite is the OP saying she waits 48 hours after drinking a couple of glasses of wine before using an iron 😂😂😂😂

I wouldn’t be happy about it either, the stuff stinks and I’d expect better from a police officer, however if you report him he will find out it was you and could make your life hell so I’d ignore it.

So just admit that your concern isnt his father getting second hand high and going to work, it's you thinking your neighbourhood is too highbrow for the devils lettuce, Mrs Bucket.

Look - I wouldn't like the smell either, especially with children in the house or washing on the line. But I'd have a word about the smell neighbour to neighbour. If I was really that pissed off I'd probably raise an eyebrow and say "im surprised a police officer like yourself is happy with this?!"

To report him to his superiors at work, possibly triggering a suspension and ruining his life for several months - is a fucking insane over-reaction, because you dislike the smell of weed.

Why don't you have a word with the father say when he's smoking in garden you cant let your kids out because of the smell.
In a roundabout way(I don't know how) tell his father in his position as a policeman it's a bit of a sham his son smokes weed,not very law abiding!!

You sound nice

Ah OP this was a funny thread and good for you coming back and apologising.

i actually agree in part with you: I feel uncomfortable about a police officer allowing their DC to smoke weed. Whether you agree with the law or not is moot, it is illegal and the police don’t get to choose what they do/don’t enforce.

it shows a lack of judgment and I suspect that the police would be concerned about the activity.

Crimes related to cannabis consumption fall into two main categories: offenses directly committed due to intoxication and crimes committed by violating drug prohibition laws.

Direct Offenses Linked to Consumption
While cannabis typically has a calming effect, heavy, continued, or high-potency use can trigger severe negative effects that lead to criminal behavior.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI/DWD): Operating a motor vehicle while impaired by THC significantly impairs reaction times and cognitive function, making the driver highly susceptible to motor-vehicle accidents.

Psychosis and Violence: In some individuals, particularly youth and those with pre-existing mental health conditions, high-potency cannabis can induce temporary cannabis-induced psychosis. Neurological studies have linked chronic use to impaired decision-making centers in the brain, correlating with impulsive or violent offenses, including intimate partner violence.

Violations of Drug Laws - In many jurisdictions, the act of consuming, possessing, or cultivating cannabis itself remains a crime.

Possession and Use: In the UK, cannabis is a Class B drug. Possession is illegal and can lead to up to 5 years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both. Police may issue warnings or on-the-spot Penalty Notices for Disorder (PND) for minor, first-time offenses.

Supply and Production: Dealing, supplying, or commercially cultivating cannabis without a license is a serious offense carrying a maximum sentence of up to 14 years in prison.

"Gateway" and Acquisitive Crime
The necessity to fund drug habits or interact within illicit supply chains can lead to other crimes. Some studies suggest heavy, early adolescent use is linked to higher rates of acquisitive crime (such as shoplifting and property crime) and progression into harder, illegally sourced narcotics.

Understand the Laws and Guidelines:
For specific details on UK enforcement and legal limits, review the GOV.UK Drugs Penalties overview. To explore how drug policies affect broader crime rates, you can also consult the analysis provided by the NCBI on Cannabis and Violent Crime.

Wow, some of the responses on this thread are just plain nasty.
Different circumstances but I once had neighbours who smoked cannabis in their own home and the stench of it stunk out my entire home. There was no escape from it, made me feel sick and opening windows in the didn’t clear it.
Police can’t or won’t do much about it especially when the people smoking cannabis say it’s for medical reasons.
I personally wouldn’t get involved OP. You have no evidence if policeman / firearms officer is using. If he is then he will get caught eventually.

Well let’s hope you stay away from the iron for at least 48 hours having had a skinful!! 😬👀

If you report him, I’m worried you might face retaliation from his family.

I've never got on with it. I chucked a whitey once and that was enough for me! I was 47 🤣

I know far too many people who have died as a result of alcohol consumption.

I don’t know a single soul who has died as a result of smoking cannabis.

You come across as one hell of a sheltered pathetic individual.

Me too!! - some time later! So glad OP couldn't find the delete thread icon!

Just mind your own business.

Op, sounds like a rough few days made you lose perspective a bit.

Just for the record, firearms officers undergo random drugs testing more than other officers due to the increased risk. The officer will know this and act accordingly.

Goodness. No ironing for you today OP!

@HumbleHun I hope today was a good day for you and I will say thank you for making me smile.

I'll be honest, this morning I was laughing out loud at the "stop comments, hide thread quotes to yourself". And at this moment in my life I need a laugh.

Thank you for coming back and explaining, I think most of us have been there at some point or another.

I do hope your pet is ok, it is hard when they are struggling. Hope you feel ok now.

Me either!! 😂😂

He’s using beak too?

RTFT. The OP has apologized for sounding mad.

Doobie doo doo

This is the most bonkers thread I’ve seen in a while on here.
YABU Op, just mind your own business.

You sound quite mad🤣🤣
