...and it's wafting into our bedroom and kitchen. I don't want to inhale a class B drug, nor have it entering my home. What to do?

BTW - this is when his two daughters and his wife are in.

People never take drugs when their family are in, I'm sure Mr Starship has never had a beer or a glass of wine around family.

speak to him and explain why you object and ask him to smoke elsewhere- why are you asking?

BTW - this is when his two daughters and his wife are in.

Not really sure what the relevance is here - would you prefer

1. he was dead sneaky and did it only behind their back
2. Smoked in the house when they were in the room?

I think the op is surprised that someone would expose their child to illegal drugs.

If he's mixing his weed with tobacco I'd be annoyed as well breathing that shyte in. Evil stuff tobacco.

I was bringing the washing in earlier on and got a wiff of some green from the young lad next doors bedroom window, I actually thought fair play to the lad, it smelt like some quality herb !
On a serious note thought, I wouldn't think the passive smoke from his back garden would do you any harm by the time it gets to your house.

Give him some spice & laugh hysterically when he goes under. (have a video camera ready to show him later)

Then post it on here.

Haha at essel's suggestion. The latest thing I've heard of is synthetic stuff for putting in e-cigs...loads of young 'uns round here have ended up in hospital with it. The couple with the shop that sold them it have been arrested. 😀

Not this again!

What are you objecting to?

The smell?

The law breaking?

The (non-existent) risk to your health?

You could not inhale any significant quantity from next doors garden.

This is STW where you'll be an outcast for pointing out the hypocrisy of wanting to tax/ban smoking but legalise dope.

I would go down the bottom of the garden and tell him that when one is amongst polite society, one must follow the 'puff puff, pass' rule.

Just ask him to smoke at the bottom of his garden away from the house. I can't stand the smell of weed and it would piss me off too.

If the OP has a wood burner and burns anything but smokeless wood then's he's a hypocrite! :mrgreen: 😈 😆

Based on the demographic of this forum, 10 quid says the OP has a wood burner. 😆

What do you do when you are bothered about someone breaking the law the rest of the time?

I try not to get wound up about people parking on dropped kerb crossings, but occasionally I'll have a word with the driver and not phone the police.

Some people like drugs, others like crap parking, have you never broken the law or encouraged others to do so?

This is true. It seems little different to the smell of bacon wafting through from their kitchen. I can understand it to a degree, but presumably he's smoking it outside because he doesn't want to compromise the health of the household. And unless there's any specific reason you should have issue with it, there doesn't seem to be an issue. Live and let live.

They said when they were having a barbie and we made sure we had no clothes out then

I love the smell of weed. For me it's up there with bacon, cut grass and a fresh deck of 20 Benson's.

I have nothing useful to add to this thread BTW.

Often young lads walk past me smoking skunk to/from the shop.I sometimes jump forward and say wooooo (like a ghost). It ****ing freaks them out 99.9% of the time. Weed should be smoked indoors relaxed not like a butty on the go.

If you can smell it, then you have basically just taken drugs and broken the law. It's a one way trip to smack and heroin from here.

You monster.

I'm with the OP in that I think weed smells pretty rank to me and would prefer not to have it around. I grew up with a group of friends who smoked a fair bit and some who still do. I still can't stand the smell.

Maybe if you don't want the aroma in your own home it's not fair to inflict it on others either - whether they can smell it in their the or garden...?

Go and say hello. Mention how long it's been since you last had a puff of the old wacky baccy and when the inevitable offer comes your way, totally bogart the joint. Repeat every time you notice him/it and he'll soon get fed up of sustaining your 'occasional' habit and find somewhere else to smoke.

Plus, it'll help you chill out a bit.

I don't have a plan of attack. He's a bad un from a very bad area. He got lucky with the house purchase. It went for a song as the previous owners split very acrimoniously. I don't want to be watching my back and worrying about my wife.

To me the weed smoking while his family are ten feet away is a barometer of his general attitude and it makes me uncomfortable. If he thinks it's normal then there may be trouble ahead with other stuff.

If you wait a few weeks there'll be no problem as he will definitely be a homeless, meth addicted rent-boy lying in a pool of piss in the street somewhere. I mean, television is never wrong is it?

Or, you could just drop a note through the door and ask him to smoke a bit further up the garden cause you're not keen on the smell.

If you smoke weed in doors around young children you are a lowlife Jeremy Kyle fodder ****.

But the fact he goes in the garden shows he is not, and shows consideration.
Does he smoke weed occasionally or is the waft of skunk in your house on a daily basis.
If so, explain that the smell is coming in your house and could he please smoke further down the garden.

If he tells you you should close your window then beat him with a garden rake/call police or move ether one because he is a ****.

Yeah, so smoke outside and subject someone else to it instead.

But it's not a health risk outside, is it. It's just a feint smell, like bacon.

So he/you are the authority on the effects of the risks of secondary smoke and this is notwithstanding the simple anti-social aspect to it.

Smoking is revolting (tobacco or weed) and expecting anyone else to put up with the filthy habit is completely unreasonable.

Well **** off with your bacon smell somewhere else.
Is what I would hyperthetically say if some one was daft enough to compare the smell of skunk coming in my house with bacon.

I'd argue that smoking in your own home, be it indoors or in the garden is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

If they came round and did it in your home, or your garden, you'd have a point.

Granted, smoking weed is a bit different. But only really in the eyes of the law.

If I left my bins In my garden close to the fence where the smell made its way into you house would that be reasonable.
Would you politely asking me to move them further from your property be reasonable.
Would me telling you to close your window or comparing the smell to bacon be reasonable.

Yep and last time looked beers/wines/spirits counted for more of a burden on the NHS than a much maligned naturally ocurring plant did. It's only illegal because the government haven't figured out a way to tax it properly yet.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think it would be unreasonable to have words with the guy if it's that much of an issue. I just don't think it's unreasonable to smoke on your own property either.

And skunk does smell awesome. Just like bacon. That's a fact.

Yeah a shit load of skunk naturally occurred in my mates rental property,
It managed to naturally cut large holes in all the floors and ceilings for ducting, insulate the loft and rig some serious lighting and watering system.

The first my mate knew was when the police rang to tell him two men with machetes had kicked in the front door while a third man jumped out of the upstairs bay window and had it away on his toes.
