Constant smell of weed from neighbours house

[Cuntycovid]

For context iv lived in current property for 5 years , excellent relationship with our neighbours whom moved in to their home around the same time (new build estate)
Never had a problem with said neighbours , friends on facebook , always chatting , have exchanged gifts for our children ect

Now as most are currently doing we are spending loads of time in the garden due to lockdown , we are getting a very strong smell of cannabis over our garden every 3-4 hours , sometimes.can smell it in the house also
If was just me and DH I honestly wouldnt care and could tolerate it but we have young DD (15 months) so we can be outside playing in her paddling pool and then all of a sudden this strong smell appears

I am not naive I am aware that lots of people smoke weed , my AIBU is about if they are being unfair doing this knowing we have a young child playing out in the garden?
We know for fact its neighbour directly next door as we have heard him sparking up in the garden

Tell them nicely it stinks.

YANBU it is anti social and stinks, and I would definitely be having (initially polite) words

Maybe they don't realise? Jist ask them nicely not to whilst your dd is outside.

Yabu. What affect do you think the smelll of cannabis will have on your child?

I'd have said YANBU if it was constant, simply because the smell can be unpleasant.

I can imagine I’ll be ridiculed by the “I’m so laid back” brigade. But I would say nothing to your neighbour and report directly to the police and social services.

It stinks, it’s illegal and it’s beyond grim for them to have any drugs near their own children, let alone yours.

Well that was kind of the point of the post for any insight about what impact it could have on my young child ? Have you got any ?

Just ask them nicely not to whilst your dd is outside

This! If you otherwise get on well, they should be fine. Just talk to them.

Being able to smell cannabis won’t effect your child no.
If it’s really bothering you tho and you are on friendly terms just mention it to them, maybe he could stand elsewhere when smoking so it doesn’t waft into your garden so much.

My neighbour does it all day long, it comes over the wall and into my kitchen and then at night when the house is locked up it comes into the small bedroom through a vented brick and stinks the house out it's horrible. I dont mind people having the odd one, but all day and having it in my house is rank.

DP's ex smokes weed constantly, always has. DSS is almost 30, fit, healthy, did very well at school and uni, works hard, has a lovely DD who is well cared for in every way and doing well at school. He also smokes weed around her, but not indoors.

Many of my friends have smoked regularly since the late 60s/70s, and brought up children without any of them coming to grief. One of the kids is an eccentric, crusty eco-warrior but his brother became an accountant, earns a 6-figure salary, has a big house in Clapham and kids in private education, so I don't think we can blame the weed-puffing parents. Both got scholarships to a prestigious independent school.

I can't imagine that the smoke at the sort of low concentration you'd find out of doors will do your DD any harm, but I'd ask them not to when you're out there because of the unpleasant smell.

My neighbours are smoking pot constantly. Every day for the last 3 weeks. My house stinks, the smell gives me migraines. Dd is in the shielding group so we can't even go out to escape it. Not the first time it's happened, and when another neighbour reported them to the police, they claimed we were all homophobic (!) - they're a lesbian couple. Oh, and claimed it was for medicinal use. Nope to both.

You wont get much sympathy on mumsnet for cannabis use I'm afraid OP. It seems most on here partake in it and if you dare say its disgusting you get jumped on.

I am with you, I have a neighbour from hell who smokes it constantly. My flat stinks all the time, the police do nothing, the council have done nothing about the noise complaint either. It is just shit. You can try talking to them but it probably won't stop them.

I'm in the same situation, OP - police won't be interested. I have the added joy of piles of rubbish outside their house so at least the smell of weed masks that of rotting food. Your only hope is to live with it or approach them.
