So my neighbours teenage son has been smoking doobies in the garden with his parents consent. His father is a policeman and actually a firearms officer. I'm concerned that he may be using Ur at least getting high from the passive smoking. I want to report him to his superiors but DH is adamantly against it and says I'm being dramatic. Really between a rock and a hard place. AIBU if I report him?

You’re being dramatic.

Goodness not heard the term Doobie for about 30 years.

Assuming you're serious, yes you're being dramatic and massively unreasonable.

There's no decision to make, other than to extract your beak. You're being bonkers.

Have you reported a crime recently?’ Unless a murderer is literally chopping off your head they are not interested..

nixon1976 · 17/05/2026 01:35

You want to report your neighbour because his SON is smoking doobies? Why? I don't get it

MyGammyEye · 17/05/2026 01:38

Nobody is getting high from passively inhaling spliff smoke in the garden.

Shatandfattered · 17/05/2026 01:39

🙈😂 ok.... there's multiple prescription cannabis routes for all sorts of medical issues nowadays and if your neighbour is a firearms officer I'm pretty sure he'd be drug tested randomly and even so it's bloody weed

@HumbleHun unless he was hotboxing the concentration levels are virtually none

Then google the confined area and how many joints would be needed to get high from passive smoking. 🤣

they ask on mumsnet, and then dismiss the science.

Iyamnotayam · 17/05/2026 01:50

Leave it, and he grateful he's not drinking in the garden with his friends. Drunk teenagers are far more annoying than high ones 😅

i based my analysis off of "at least getting high from the passive smoking."
so if you had new analysis then my analysis was correct on your original point

I don’t touch the stuff, can’t stand the smell.

I still say ‘nose out’. It’s not your problem. My son smoked it with my knowledge. I didn’t like it, but sooner he was in my garden than out in a park with randoms.
