Unable to open windows as people back of me smoking cannabis. Selfish *****

During hot weather, I open my windows before the sun hits it.

Came back from shopping and the direction of the windows I was planning to open, people in the garden on the other side of the wall are smoking cannabis. Oh great! I don’t want to have the smell of that vile stuff wafting in my home. I’m sure the varieties used now are more pungent. As my ex smoked it and the smell didn’t affect me

Live in a first floor flat

So presumably they grow their own then??

Yes so people's assumptions about money laundering, drug running and modern slavery aren't automatic.

So many people on this site seem to have such a strong sense of smell. Their outside how much is the smell really going to drift.

Have you not smelt it when you’re just walking down the street? We’ve even smelt it driving along the motorway.
It is very pungent and often you can smell it from a long way off.

I think it's inevitable weed will eventually be legal in UK, so you've just gotta get used to it. Yesterday I was waiting for the bus and a really well dressed lady,. Was smoking a weed pipe. No one batted an eyelid and a thought to myself if this was UK someone would post on Mumsnet about itSmile. People smoke weed, that's life!

I'd rather smell weed than tobacco. I think it smells rather nice.

I don't smoke either, but I'd far rather smell the odd spliff than a fag

You're kidding. The smell is really pungent and a vile stench..

I agree...smells like cow slurry to me. Not a nice smell after all

That was my point, silly of her to think its just in “scummy areas” Like Sebastian and Arabella from Knightsbridge don’t get high.

No they do blow, which doesn't have a smell which wafts into the neighborhood

Maybe the OP can suggest her neighbours do that instead then

Loads. My neighbours smoke weed. The smell fills my bedroom and makes me heave. I couldn’t care less that they smoke, just that it stinks.

It absolutely reeks. And anyone who uses weed is complicit in the abuse of minors through county lines.

You should have a wee smoke yourself OP. It’d help you chill out.

So your friend is happily and illegally growing their own plants, drying it and then smoking it? Because if they are not growing their own, where are they getting it from?

? Medical cannabis clinic. It's been legal from private clinics in the UK since 2018.
Strictly speaking it should be vaporised though.

Just wondering if this could be medical marijuana on a prescription?

Does the source change the smell?

Because people in “non scummy” areas never smoke weed 🙄

I live in a very.nice area and my neighbours smoke weed in their gardens.
