Neighbour’s Dope Smoke

52 replies

TooMuchDopeSmoke · 29/03/2026 08:40

Almost daily we have the smell of dope wafting into our house from the neighbours. I think it’s the grown up son who smokes. (This is a bit lighthearted) but would I be unreasonable to suggest they switch to edibles? And would I WhatsApp the parents or stop the son on the road to do so. It’s possible he’s only smoking when the parents are out although they can’t be ignorant of his habit. It’s quite intrusive having the smell inside our home and with summer coming windows will be open .

Where does it say the person was on UC? You must have benefits claimants living in your brain rent free. 🤣

It’s a understandable assumption.

Where has hash gone? Why is it always weed you smell these days? It was 90% hash in the 90s

With little holes burnt everywhere.

You must know lots of poor people. Did you grow up on the same estate

I think there should be universal credit penalties for those who smoke weed and bother others.

That’s a massive assumption

Hashish smelt so much nicer than stinking weed.

Agreed

Don’t know about the same one, but a similar one by the sound of it.

Be cautious about approaching him about his drug use.

Some drugs cause people to behave violently, verbally and otherwise when challenged.......Its not a risk worth taking because he may pull a blade on you.

Just be carefull, just in case.

Haha. Yeah of course everyone who uses cannabis is on benefits.

It's pathetic and prejudiced to think such things.

ChocoChocoLatte · 30/03/2026 10:15

Our house stinks due to assh*le neighbour but anytime we report (she’s a mare for many reasons) the council just state it might be for medical reasons and won’t get involved……

you have my sympathies OP. We used to love living here

They are very clearly only ok this thread to rage bait/wind people up. The fact they’ve kept pushing their “view” suggests this is to goad people into an argument. It’s possible they really think this way, but I suspect they are just doing it for entertainment.

Nobody has suggested that, who are you arguing with as you’ve quoted my post?

What makes you assume that weed smokers are all claiming benefits. I know plenty that don't.

Someone said the person was on UC, I said OP didn't say that, you replied with 'its a understandable assumption'.

Are you getting confused?

I think if you’re tax payer funded, there should be penalties in the form of benefit restrictions for anti social behaviour

What are you assuming they are on benefits?

worldshottestmom · 30/03/2026 16:09

Lameelephant · 29/03/2026 20:07

It’s a understandable assumption.

In what way is it an understandable assumption?

Its a baseless assumption with no other premise than your own prejudice. One of the wealthiest people I know smokes weed every single day. I suppose it's just yet another thing that wealthier people get away with, along with paedophilia, tax evasion, and so on.

Guess there's just not a chance in hell that you smoke weed if youre wearing a 3 piece suit and driving a Bentley.

Assuming only those on benefits smoke the shit? How outdated.

Not all estates are full of poor people. Another deluded assumption.

Growlybear83 · 30/03/2026 16:16

I like the smell of weed so it wouldn’t bother me at all 😆😆

QuintadosMalvados · 30/03/2026 16:28

There's an old people's complex in the area in which I live. The smell of weed coming from some of the flats there when you walk past. Lol.

Yesterday's hippies are today's OAP's.
Not long now till lollipop men are called Darren!

Mancity08 · 30/03/2026 16:36

Why do people it’s people on benefits that onky smoke weed 🤣
solicitors,barrister's, gp’s, consultants there all at it , even much stronger than weed
heroin etc

I know a barrister who he and he’s colleagues do it on a regular basis and even the hard stuff

Yes I am getting confused. Who has said all cannabis users are benefit claimants? You appear to be arguing with yourself and quoting random people

You started talking about people on UC. The OP was about a cannabis smoker. Presumably you would only mention UC as you assumed the person in OP was on benefits, else it would be a complete irrelevance to the topic being discussed?

How else did you expect us to interpret what you said?

You then reinforced it by saying you think that was a reasonable assumption or similar.

Continue in your confusion as I can't explain to you why you posted what you did and then acted like you've no clue what's going on?
