or would the police do precisely nothing about this?

[Greensleeves]

If you smelt weed coming from your neighbour's house while you were out on your drive (weeding! ) - no suspicion of dealing or a cannabis farm or anything, just the clear indication that the neighbours were having a spliff in their house, would you expect the police to do anything about it if you called them?

Context - dh thinks the police would come round and search their house, I think the police have better things to do.

My neighbour regularly threatens to beat my husband and rape me, has spit at us and told us we’re not allowed to look out the window. This last one because we’ve seen him dealing drugs outside our property and that’s where the problems started. The police have been called 11 times in the past 3 weeks and all that’s happened is that the community support officers have paid us a visit and spent twenty minutes asking if we feel safe. Umm what do you think?! So no, they probably wouldn’t even make a note of it if he’s just smoking.

@TearingMeApart Im so sorry Thats appalling. Our downstairs neighbour threatened to "come up here" to my DH last September. Said he could hear me going to the loo in the night.

Never mind about the fact he and his equally selfish girlfriend scream shout and throw things around the flat.

If they get in a car and drive away i would ring them before they kill someone. Might be only a spliff but deadly when combined with a high powered car.

They attended my neighbour's property a few years back as he was growing 1 plant. work colleague put him in (or so he thought, I worried for weeks he would think it was us as it was near our boundary so sent the OH up to see him to clear the air, so to speak).

His Daughter is suspected of dealing in Meth now. Police won't go in until they have more evidence. She and her children have already been relocated due to their previous home being deemed an unsafe environment for the children.

I juggle with the imbalance of it all...

No chance they’ll be interested.

They would log it but that’s it, nothing would become of it at all. They definitely do have better things to do.

Yep Like visit people who have misgendered someone on Twitter

No, please don’t waste their time, that’s a ridiculous thing to call for.

They wouldn’t do anything about it. Some police forces have actively decided not to target recreational cannabis users for prosecution, and for almost all it’s a very low priority.

If the smell is bothering you I would complain to the council about them being a nuisance. You may well get further that way.

HelenaDove you have a neighbour problem that has way more to do with them just smoking weed though. My neighbours smoke weed (I live in a flat also) and they have never been aggressive to me, in fact I hardly ever see or hear them.

The police do have better things to do. I'd never report anyone for anything drug related to be honest as I don't think it helps in the long term.

The police cannot search a house without a warrant, and there is no chance they would get one in the situation you describe.

Considering the police have done nothing about the last 10 times I've been assaulted by patients at work I seriously doubt they will bother about a smell of cannabis.

Might ring the council then, See if that helps
