Concerns over neighbours lifestyle choices.

Well, I didn't drink last night, or do drugs or weed. I also went to bed at a very reasonable hour, so I'm assuming that makes me a moral person, not like all you delinquent mumsnetters who replied overnight 🤣🤣

I too think you're being unreasonable and dramatic OP. If it's creating a horrible odour in your house (hopefully not in your four bedroomed detached) then it can be a nuisance, but otherwise you need to mind your own business. You could ask your neighbour to get their son to smoke further away from the house. I'm assuming your detached 4 bed has a nice long garden too? On the other hand, go ahead and report. Policing is a stressful job and I'm sure your local force could do with a good laugh. Make sure you tell them you don't iron under the influence so they know what an upstanding member of the public you are.

I think you're a troll. If not, you seriously need to get a life. You may have material possessions and kids, but you're clearly not happy if this is what keeps you up at night. Good luck when your little darlings start to dabble in drugs, statistically it's going to happen at some point in their late teens or early twenties.

A neighbour smoking weed and the smell is unbearable reporting that is normal adding the bigger conspiracy is not

You can report the drug use to the police - online, 101, or Crimestoppers if you don't want to make an in person complaint. If you're correct that someone is smoking cannabis it's illegal even if it's prescribed, and the proper authorities can investigate. If you just want the activity to stop, check if the neighbours are renting and if so go to the landlord or Housing Association, it's typically much faster. Don't report the dad directly as you have no evidence he's done anything and going to his employer rather than through the proper channels is weird. Besides, as you said he has a firearms so that could get awkward.

It will, all you have to do is type whatever you want to happen.

The internet is amazing.

In the OPs defense (crikey) but not for her reasoning. Neighbours smoking weed is different.
My neighbour and her adult kids and their mates would all sit out toking when I moved in to this house.
My house constantly smelled of it, daughters school uniform on the line stank of it.
I did a very unmumsnetty thing and confronted the situation and said that I can't have my daughter going to school aged 7 stinking of skunk...

They were brilliant, they renovated the shed at back of garden and use that to smoke in.

12 years now, still on speaking terms, nobody reported!

Sounds like you're pretty bored if you ask me

I wonder if this would work on babies as well…

Damn I always miss all the fun on here

I do wonder if psychologists have a thought on what it means when someone fixates on something a neighbour is doing that is nothing to do with them, it is like projecting other issues onto someone else

Stop my dog waking me at half 5 in the morning.

Self righteous springs to mind.

You're being dramatic. Mind your own business and leave them to it.

Is a doobie the same as a spliff ?

You don't 'have this decision to make' 🙄

This isn't even a thing for you to think/ worry about or any of your business. Leave them to it.

Mind your own business is what you do.

What they do in their back garden is none of your business. What an officious busybody you are. Can't believe you're respected in your neighborhood.

You certainly would be unreasonable. Stay out of it!

I had to google, 'doobies'. Why couldn't you just say, 'weed'? I have no idea what 'Ur' is, always thought it was an abbreviation for, 'you are', but is obviously not in your context..

Smoking a bit of weed is not at all unusual and the police are generally tolerant of it, so should you be - or at least mind your own business. These are your neighbours and you don't grass up neighbours except for abuse. They are not hurting you and the lad will outgrow weed smoking - as most of us did.

For goodness sake, you need to chill!! go join him! Might make you less dramatic and less uptight!!

as again my father would disagree with that, especially nowadays.

its not a gateway drug nowadays

Mind your own business

You really have no clue or are deliberately trolling given I dont actually think you could be so obtuse I am calling troll. Alcohol would never be legal if it was invented today. Hello addiction, domestic violence, increase in about 10 times of cancer, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, dementia, brain damage, RTA, depression, reproductive issues, GI issues etc etc. Cannabis is far less harmful imo. But go ahead get your knickers in a knot.

weed isnt narcotics?!?!?!

my father was an officer in the drug squad, theres no need to go bananas, it is legalised to a certain degree. it could be medical?

You’re not pa, just plain aggressive! Do better!

Yep - it's totally fine for the policeman's son to be smoking weed in their own back garden. Erm no - it's not fine.

Only - it is illegal. And it is hypocritical of the lad's Dad to allow it. Shoddy standards and actually sloppy morals. But hey - take the piss out of me too as I'm a pearl clutcher like the OP.

@HumbleHun you could report - but the police would definitely not investigate - depending on which area you live in.
