To report this antisocial behaviour (smoking weed) to police

[InDreamland]

I'm fed up of people smoking weed around the local tube station. I commute 5 days a week on the tube and sometimes use it at weekends. Walking to and from the station, within metres of it, people smoke weed and I'm sick of it. The smell is vile and groups of people hanging around smoking is intimidating when not in a crowd of commuters. I'm also 5 months pregnant so really don't want to be breathing in their secondhand cannabis smoke.

I want to report it to the police and ask them to do something about this behaviour. Should I just let it go or am I being reasonable to act on what I feel I should do to try and put a stop to this? DH doesn't think anything will be done by local police (bigger fish to fry) ........being a police officer himself. Would I be wasting time and effort?

I'm so mad. If these people want to smoke weed then they should do it in their own homes and screw their own lives up but not impact on others.

You have my sympathy, OP. Complaints about weed likely will be a low priority, but I have to say, I'm tired of this modern attitude that weed does no harm and that anyone who dares to complain about what still is illegal behaviour is some sort of pearl-clutching imbecile.

A quicker fix would be an anti pollution face mask, just pull it on on your way to the station and hide it under a scarf.

You should get used to it. Rightly or wrongly the de facto decriminalisation of cannabis is here, and won't be long before there's actual decriminalisation.

I can understand your annoyance but don't worry the tiny amount of passive smoke won't do you any harm, certainly not compared to the grubby tube carriage air.
