no, but it seems its ok, cos the smell was indoors and properly ducted.
Clearly your mate didn't vet his tenants properly.
No, his estate agent did not vet his tenants properly.
you just cannot get the staff these days
it could be a dogs face next time
Thing was my mate went to the house that evening and every room bar the kitchen was like dense rainforest.
And left the property under the polices control.
I went with him the next morning to repair his front door and it was wall to wall plant pots with six inches of stem In each one and the police removing them.
When he asked what had happened the police said the place had been robbed during the night and that the men with the machetes must have come back when they left and took everything bar the pots.
So apparently the police cannot get the staff these days.
Build a great big pile of damp leaves and garden crap by your fence, purchase a bit of 8 x 4 thin springy ply and next time he lights up next to your fence you light yours and go for it with the ply and suffocate the barstool. If he asks what your doing just say your burning some weed!
My mate once bought a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower just so he could run it on Castrol R. Wonderful stuff.
Personally my feeling is if its bothering our friend Derek on HIS property, then Derek is totally right to say "could you just do that somewhere else (other end of the garden perhaps), I'm really not a fan of the smell". It is called skunk for a reason.
But at the same time I'd add my voice to the "
Live and let live" crowd. Really, outside, it's not going to do you out his kids any harm at all, and he is doing it in his garden, even if it wafts to yours.
Best of luck with the neighbourly dispute, old bean.
Maybe I should've put the class B drug bit in bold. Last time I looked, beers, wines, spirits, BBQs, wood burners etc. were legal.
So is this a matter of legalities etc. or how much damage it's doing to his family. Or yours for that matter.
Say for arguments sake weed was legal or he was smoking just a ciggie, would it still be an intrusion on your privacy or a danger to others within what you consider a safe distance?
Don't get me wrong, I get the whole stench from BBQs and home bonfires, even ciggies, but as mentioned you simply have to put up or avoid the smell affecting you. Or confront the source...
It is called skunk for a reason.
Actually, most folk don't use that term anymore; it's somewhat generic and used by police and scaremongering types or just naive or ignorant individuals. It's a bit like the term 'sensi' in the 70s and early 80s. It purported to mean a bag of seedless weed when in actuality it just meant a bag of shit weed with probable seed and stick content.
Fact - Dope makes mountain bikers boring. Including me for posting on this thread. 🙂
Is this your next door neighbour?
" It's only illegal because the government haven't figured out a way to tax it properly yet."
govts do a good job of taxing tobacco which is pretty much the same.
Just go and have a chat with him ffs, preferably AFTER he's had a smoke so he's chilled out and doesn't offer you a go on his 5 knuckle bong. He's probably quite a nice guy, works voluntarily for a charity and a normal human being.
And when he tells you he has a chronic illness that's massively alleviated by going out in the back garden so he can have a quick smoke then function relatively normally with his family, don't feel too guilty eh?
Or when he tells you he suffers from psychosis, that he's smoking indica high in CBD and doing it as he believes this is a better way for him than taking massive doses of anti-psychotics which have a myriad of nasty side effects for him....
Oh I'm waffling now......
i suspect it is way more likely he just likes getting stoned
I know, I'm just being an internet c0ck. Quite enjoyed it.
😀
hire a helicopter to hover over his house every time he has a joint, the paranoia will wreck him

or just ask him to smoke it down the other end of the garden if it bothers you that much

You know what they've done in Colorado. I *think* they figured it out.

Hose him with the job and tell him to get a spray.

Alas, so is being a whiney **** on the internet.
It is however illegal to rip a CD. Hope you've never done that...
You know what they've done in Colorado.
I do. And in two weeks I might even be able to see first hand just how well it works 🙂
I don't think it's that it's that they haven't found a way to tax it yet, I think it's more to do with the whole agenda of the war on drugs (look it up) and the fact that they don't want to admit they were wrong about it. I'm just sayin!

It was declassified to "Class C". Then different politicians reclassified it back to B, despite advice from a wide number of medical experts. [url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8353685.stm ]They also sacked their lead adviser, causing most of their remaining advisory panel to resign.[/url] Clearly law makers aren't best placed to make laws on topics they have fundamental, as opposed to educated, views.
Smoking weed has for all intents and purposes been unofficially decriminalised. I know the police and courts still come down hard on dealers etc. but the generally turn a blind eye to someone just having a puff. Leave it like that because legalising it would be a disaster imho

Hmmmmmmm
These chaps (among many others) may disagree
Lifer thanks for the introduction to that i'm off to buy copy great stuff.
sit closer to the fence for ten minutes and your anger will magically fade man.
or have a word, a nice one and he might [s]let you share[/s] be understanding and smoke further away or in the house.
What I find strange is that I know if it was normal cigarette's I would object, ooh the internal dilemma?
Water super-soaker help?
When did Skunk go through a rebrand? Was there a marketing campaign? I personally can't stand the smell of skunk. Yes its called skunk because it smells so strong. Its been around alongtime with that name.
I occassionally smoked it but boy it gave me depression/mental health issues for days after a smoke. The key thing is you need to keep smoking it on a fairly regular basis to avoid any withdrawal. **** that.
I know the police and courts still come down hard on dealers etc.
Hmmm OP - ask if you can buy from your neighbour then grass him in for being a dealer.
That's a bit harsh, mudshark!

No worries! Second album not as good but Use Once and Destroy is brilliant. Enjoy!

Sell it on in the STW classifieds to get your money back.

He he, I'm with Zappa - hate drugs!
Leave it like that because legalising it would be a disaster imho
For why?
hate drugs!
Again, for why? And do you have an equal hatred of other drugs such as paracetamol, caffeine, or maybe the alcohol contained in a small glass of decent red wine with the Sunday roast?
Love the polarised views of STW. People in glasshouses etc
IMO...hes gone outside to have a smoke out of consideration for others.
As others have said, is it purely the 'weed' smell that getting to you or is it any unwelcomed smell that should enter your nostrils?
Take him on a day trip to [url= http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/kew-gardens-opens-drugs-festival-with-chance-to-try-mindaltering-plants-9760669.html ]kew gardens[/url].
Actually I hate illegal drugs due to the criminals profiting and any associated crime/violence. As for drug use, well I'm a control freak really so don't like the idea of my mind being altered 😀
I think there is a case for weed to be legalized, though I still wouldn't want anything to do with it much as I hate tobacco, but it does seem to have long-term health implications so that's an argument against it. I suppose if alcohol came along now we would ban it - maybe that would be the right thing to do but impossible to do now of course and in moderation one of the great things in life.
Ahh yes those legal drugs that come from caring,sharing multinationals who are definitely not interested only in profits!! [facepalm]
Hmmm?
Leave it like that because legalising it would be a disaster imhoFor why?
Because as any self respecting pothead will tell you, it hasn't gone up in price in 20 odd years that I know of. If it's legalised it will go the same way as alcohol and tobacco. No thanks.
Irie.

So a bit of homegrown in a vaporizor would be ok, apart from the fact your "mind will be altered"?
...it hasn't gone up in price in 20 odd years
Heh
So it's still 40 quid for an ounce of squidgy black? lol

Consuming something that isn't a drug but I've grown myself?
Ooh question with a question.
I mean homegrown gear as in, no links to organised crime, just a mate who had grown a wee plant. And vaporized (not smoked) and no tobacco.
Nah you should probs start on something tame like ayahuasca. Just to be on the safe side 😉
Anyway total thread hijack we all make our choices and lets leave it at that. Back to the topic.... I forgot. What were we talking about?
If its affecting your enjoyment or use of your property you can use the legal tort of "private nuisance" to sue him in small claims court, then get a CCJ placed on his property, ruining his credit rating and meaning his mortgage payments will go up and if he can't pay them his house will get repossessed and you can then buy it cheap at auction and rent it out to some people of your choosing.
So it's still 40 quid for an ounce of squidgy black? lol
Yeah and Red Leb 8)
It's defo not index linked anyway
squidgy black
Mmm... I miss that stuff.
Derek - I haven't got the time to read the whole thread.
If you read mine ^^^^ you will just see that I got flamed and as a result hardly post on here anymore.
With our dilemma mr. bh went round and had a quiet word with the man of the house hold and things have calmed down a bit.
One of my problems is that I work from home and the constant stench in the warm weather was coming up through my workroom windows and I don't want my customers orders stinking.
squidgy black
Mmm... I miss that stuff.
Smoking squidgy black while wearing a shell suit, could only end in tears.
Thanks a bunch Lifer - that scared one of my rabbits!
Luckily Peter helped me relax.
Yeah, it was totally him. Mmmmm.
Yep.
If it's legalised it will go the same way as alcohol and tobacco. No thanks.
Well, there might be more important things than keeping it cheap for you. In any case, while tobacco is expensive, alcohol is cheap in the UK, isn't it?
So has the op done the blatantly obvious yet and spoke to the guy? Or you still twitching yer curtains sitting in judgement?
Well, there might be more important things than keeping it cheap for you. In any case, while tobacco is expensive, alcohol is cheap in the UK, isn't it?
What could be more important than cheap weed? If you don't smoke it, then it doesn't concern you. If you do its nice that its cheap. Simple really. Its hardly supporting terrorism is it? Or is that what the media claim?

That's quite sad.
Skunk use is a real problem around my way in the yoof's. Wasn't a problem really when we were growing up as it was mainly resin available local to use with Skunk very rarely. Skunk (or whatever drug uses call it nowadays) is just too ****ing powerful. Why can't they bring resin back!?!
I totally agree with hora. Skunk is just waaaay too potent but the yoof just want to clack a whitey and forget there future is bleak. Give me a good giggle thai grass any day.
just too **** powerful
There are many, many varieties of varying strength and overall effect, not to mention the variables in users abilities to cope with the stronger strains. It isn't as simple as just saying it's all 'skunk'.
Resin, in theory, should be stronger than the basic flower head of the plant as it's made from a concentrated oil and powered plant mix. In some instances, in the case of 'squidgy', it can be produced from the plants resin sacs being collected and rubbed/rolled into balls, sometimes using spit to aid the consistency. I doubt it's made that way anymore. The problem with hash, was/is it was very easy to contaminate.
But back on topic - when bacon, a BBQ, a ciggie or just a bad smell that you find unpleasant drifts into your home, there's a tendency to just ignore it simply because there is no recourse in most circumstances. The reaction to cannabis, despite it not being as noxious as some of the alternatives, is one of legalities and attitude. All in my humble opinion, obviously...
Give me a good giggle thai grass any day.
I've seen folk wrecked on Thai. It really isn't a clear cut thing.
there are a whole generation of rasta yoofs growing up .. I bring you a group of crime beating rastafarian mice on cbeebies... and no I cant understand what they is saying either... irie mann!

You can get wrecked on all weed but the THC content in the modern strains is higher than most home grown or amateur set up. Skunk is and always has been a label used for the strongest varients. You only get wrecked if you want to same with alcohol.
Skunk is and always has been a label used for the strongest varients
Only to the uneducated. Modern strains don't necessarily have to contain more THC, it depends on the variety, as I wrote above. The issue of strength with regard strain is open to huge variables. For instance, the stuff you probably used to smoke was wrapped and in transit for who knows how long, stewing and in some cases fermenting. This can be a good thing if controlled but if mold sets in the stash is ruined. This on top of supplier/dealer storage times and you have a product with a limited shelf life with no way of discerning exactly how long it's been floating around and degrading.
Conversely, a lot of modern weed is fresh, so even if you were to obtain some fresh Thai, it would more than likely produced a stronger high than its dried counterpart.
Really, there are too many variables to simply label all modern weed as skunk and claim it all has a higher THC/CBD/CBN level than the stuff 'from back in the day'.
Man, I wish I'd never said "skunk" now, heh.
Look, seriously, top end cheese or bubblegum or whatever hydro your local Vietnamese growhouse makes, stinks.
Hell, Northern lights grown in the wild in Cornwall stinks. The only thing that smells really nice is Cali Orange [and good luck finding that].
You know it stinks, I know it stinks. I, personally like the smell, but YMMV.
OP Is totally within his rights to ask the neighbour to do it further away or something. Bunnyhop too.*
But that's pretty much where it ends - you don't need to grass him up or move house, just have a quiet word - live and let live. Please, let's not get so unreasonable about this. And don't bother being aggressive, aggression shall not stand, man.
Jokes aside - Derek, report back when you've spoken to the guy nicely about his indulgence and how it causes you some discomfort. I suspect he'll be pretty reasonable about it. Just ask nicely. 🙂
Everybody, just chill the **** out.
Hora - to answer your question, making hand-rubbed charas/templeballs/squidgy requires large fields of mature, resinous plants. Not really possible in a terraced house. I'm sure most of that used to be imported, but I suspect the border controls are more efficient these days. Sadly.
I can highly** recommend Nepalese Temple Balls from Greenhouse Coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Really mellow, and not stinky. How it should be done***. They'll even see you 1/2 a gram if you're visiting and I suspect it's the sort of high you'd appreciate.
*Aww Bunnyhop, please don't stop posting, really, that's not necessary. I'm sure most of your thread was supposed to be light-hearted jesting. I for one promise not to be a buttmunch about it.
**Chortle
***And that is really the truth of it. If we legalised and controlled the stuff, sales of good quality mellow and non-stinky hashish would rise, resulting in less freakouts, less people actually getting hooked on being stoned and probably more beautiful art and music rather than highscores on Forza or COD. Chalk another FAIL up to the "war on drugs".
Only to the uneducated
I bow down to your mekon like head structure. I'm off for a quick pipe you guys are wrecking my head

We get ours from a local source so in a way I'm supporting local business. Much of the stuff is now produced locally so I just see it as free enterprise. Cameron would be proud of if he got a cut.
