to want to open our windows without the smell of weed polluting our breathing space?

It's 10:48am, the sun is shining, it's warm so I have just opened my living room window and back door, I'm just about to give my 6 month old a breast feed and now my kitchen and living room stink of weed.
Thanking you neighbour, who is also enjoying the sunshine in the garden with a spliff. Might I add that she is expecting a baby in 3 weeks. Twat!
I'm not usually against people smoking weed, it's their choice, but when my kids are exposed to it, I does get my back up.

Weed is not doing her or her unborn baby any good at all, silly cow. Even if it's the old-fashioned mild sort.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm i love the smell

DedalusDigglesPocketWatch · 28/03/2012 11:27

Our elderly next door neighbour smokes like a chimney and we often can't have any windows open as our house then stinks of smoke.

Bugs the hell out of me!

I'm all for people doing what they want, but in a polite way and not unleashing it on anyone else.

All you can do is ask her to be a bit more considerate, considering what shes doing could get her into a bit of trouble she should be grateful to have a neighbor who asks her nicely.

YANBU to not want the smell in your house, and smoking it while pg isnt great but theres not much you can do apart form ask her to move away a bit. Im assuming she isnt toking all day long so the smell wont be around for much longer.

Think its a bit early though, I like a joint as much as the next person but even I wouldnt start this early.

CremeEggThief · 28/03/2012 11:36

It is a bit early for that sort of thing! ;)

You have my sympathy, my neighbours are the same... Who needs to be stoned at 9am? Ludicrous.

Have you had a word or are you like me and just make loud comments and slam the window in a loud passive-aggressive way? Grin

thekidsrule · 28/03/2012 12:45

its "green" that really smells awful

stupid women for smoking that carp

you have my sympathies,can you approach her about it,her house fine but seems selfish that you have to put up with it in yours

sunshineandbooks · 28/03/2012 13:21

Can you talk to her about it? It's always worth trying the direct approach first.

The other alternative is to simply let the police know that she's smoking it regularly. Possibly a bit of a nasty thing to do to someone, but if you take the risk of doing something illegal in full view/smell of others then you're sort of asking to get caught IMO.

HairyLemon · 28/03/2012 13:28

Police wouldn't do much apart from confiscate what she has, would be a waste of their time and resources and yes a pretty nasty thing to do imo

WhiteTrash · 28/03/2012 13:30

Green, weed, same thing. They smell lush.

However, I dont like it when smoke of any kind travels indoors. YANBU.

PiggyMad · 28/03/2012 13:32

We have this problem too - neighbour smokes in the house with windows wide open and when we have ours open the weed smell comes in. I hate it and am 38 weeks pregnant so my nose is even more sensitive.

thekidsrule · 28/03/2012 13:42

i can tolerate the smell of cannabis but "green" i find very different makes me gag

sunshineandbooks · 28/03/2012 13:47

HL I wouldn't do it for exactly that reason, but TBH if someone is that blatant about it then they're likely to get caught at some point.

I know cannabis use is very common but it's still illegal and as such it never ceases to amaze me how willing some people are to gamble with having a criminal record over it simply so they can smoke it outside their own 4 walls.

Seriously, OP, in your situation I'd just say something. You don't have to be antagonistic about it. Start off the conversation by asking her about the baby and how she's feeling about it, then say that you don't want to tell her how to live her life but would she mind going further up the garden because the smell is drifting in through the window. If she reacts badly to that, you've probably got bigger problems with her than smoking weed.

Smells of rhubarb in my experience, which is fine for a while, but not through the house! Chuck some water over her from your window. Smile

frankieb70s · 28/03/2012 16:59

Unfortunately we can't say anything as they are very unreasonable and she has made it clear she doesn't like me. We have had so many problems with them, including nails in my tyres.
I'm assuming if she has no regard for her own children's wellbeing then why would she give a fudge about mine? I think she's moving soon (like this weekend) THANK GOD!
