Calling house detectives: just HOW is the smell of next door's weed coming into my son's bedroom?

We live in a 30s semi. The boy next door smokes weed. Sometimes its smell comes into my son's room, so strong it's as if he is smoking in there himself. (he's not, he's 5). We can't work out how. There are no holes in the walls. There is a vent, but we have covered this, and for it to be that, the smoke would have to perform a u turn on exiting from next door. What else could it be?

We are not going to approach next door and ask them to smoke elsewhere, neither of us have that kind of confidence, so we need to work out how it's getting in to fix it. Have left a message for friendly builder, but sometimes the collective wisdom of mumsnet can deduce incredible things.

We had this with our neighbours. We called the police and explained obviously not the crime of the century and we aren't expecting them to get arrested but could you have a chat with them and explain it is stinking our family home out. They sent 2 PCSO around there for a chat and haven't had a problem since.

I have the same thing. They don't have a window on that side either so it has to be internal.
I assume it goes out through gaps in their floorboards, through the gaps between breeze blocks and seeps out around the pipes coming to the radiators. It happens when windows are shut.
