Conversation about weed with teenage neighbour, worried about revenge

I posted the other day and can’t find my thread anywhere! Basically we have been getting the smell of weed throughout the house most days when our teenage neighbour smokes outside and we have windows/back doors open.

I was advised here to approach the teen directly in the first instance, which I agreed with, although was terrified about it. I know, pathetic.

Anyway, I’ve done it. I said we can smell it and that another neighbour had asked me about it too, and I didn’t want to get their mum involved but please can you do it away from the house or in another place outside.

He said sorry and that he understood and that he would make sure it stopped. But he also said that he would ‘tell his brother.’ This has confused me as it was him I could see outside yesterday, but I know he was with someone else too. I assumed it was a friend. I am now thinking should I go round and ask to speak to the brother who was presumably upstairs? Why didn’t the brother come down too?

Also, I am worried that if the police are ever called (I would never do this, the only other thing I would do is go to their mum), then they will assume it’s me. There are some older residents on the street who are always outside and very much have time on their hands and a love a drama. I’m so scared they will call the police and then these kids will think it’s me.

Just worrying a lot as I’m pregnant and don’t want them to do anything in revenge.

if someone wants to smoke in their own garden it’s not really any of your business.

It is if the smell is wafting into someone else's house Hmm

It isn't the same as enjoying a glass of wine at all Hmm

Sorry to read you have a neighbour who does not care about the number of black young men who are killed as a result of the drugs trade, or the impact of the trade on certain developing countries.

Hope speaking to him has the desired impact.
