You could start spraying cans of stella over the fence, after all it's only drinking. What's the harm in it. Live and let live guys.

[i]I assume that you lot on the moral high ground will be reporting the dubious tax avoidance measures on the other thread, or is it none of your business?[/i]

How is it the ****ing [i]moral high ground[/i]?

Did you actually read (and comprehend) this bit?

[b]She has a one and three year old and because there are so many of them smoking it fills most of our gardens and comes up through the windows.[/b]

Would you like it if you couldn't open your windows in the summer because of the stink of smoke? I certainly wouldn't. I have no opinion either way on the morality of smoking weed, but stinking people out with it needs sorting.
From poah's link it looks like the council are the best port of call.

Or find some way to make the stoners paranoia kick into action. Frighten the bastards out.

if you know that the dealer comes round every friday - this is something the police would be interested in, supply is a different matter to use

what most folk think is, we called the police and they did nowt - this usually isn't true, they will probably have an operation ongoing where they are tracking all the low-level dealers that all buy from one criminal organisation (like a rented house full of plants) that are run by a gang of committed criminals who are probably manufacturing or moving stuff a lot stronger than weed

Not sure you understand how the drug supply chain works. You have to go quite a way up the tree to find any 'committed criminals'. The low level dealers buy off other low level dealers who are ever so slightly higher up the tree. At least that was the case 15 years ago, I guess it might have changed these days.

Calm down Dez, I was reefering (see what i did there?) to the whole "Well, it's illegal so you've a moral obligation to report it" crew.

If you read, and comprehended my previous post, I suggested cake and a friendly word ๐Ÿ˜‰

Step outside, take a few deep breathes..........aaaannnnddddd relax!

What this all boils down to is the fact that you don't like how your neighbours are living their lives. Which really is tough luck if you won't speak to them or grass them up.

Better for their lungs and no smoke. ๐Ÿ™‚

I read somewhere that Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris started off just smoking weed. Just think, If someone would have reported them back when that all started, maybe they wouldn't have made all those shit TV programmes?

Do the right thing.

Part of this is right but they are living their lives inside other people's houses. The comparison I used before is the same, if I poured beer through your windows what would you think.

I'm come and chat to you about it and not complain on the internet....like I caveated my original statement with but you chose not to quote.

Also, are we sure there isn't any embellishment with regards to how much is floating in? They must really be going at it in open areas to fill at least two neighbouring houses with smoke.

Am I correct in thinking this isn't the first 'neighbour' thread the OP has created?

Edit: I am correct:
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/just-had-row-with-next-door-neighbour

So, is this the same neighbour or just the same common denominator?

As above if your are sure the smoke is getting in through your house and not through open windows then there is a problem with your property not being properly sealed.

You hear of stories of people living next to a cannabis farm and not knowing about it, therefore there must be a problem with ventilation between yours and the smokers properties.

If they smoke enough of it, you should become immune to the smell. ๐Ÿ˜‰

if you do not smoke and you have a sense of smell and someone smokes super strength skunk [ there may be a clue in the name as to the pungency of said smoking material] it is highly likely that neighbours will indeed be able to smell it

A neighbour [ teenage kid] used to smoke [ heavily] in their bedroom and you could smell that in mine FWIW.


You hear of stories of people living next to a cannabis farm and not knowing about it

they tend to grow in airtight rooms and then vent it through the roof after passing it through filters [ or recycling it] so it does not smell...its almost as if they do not want to draw attention to themselves and go to great lengths to make sure the smell does not escape

Ex-smoker and stoner and 100% with the OP - it's fricking annoying

Use a bit of quid pro quo, 'we don't mind you guys having a smoke but it is starting to make our house smell' the merest hint of insinuated threat woven into a reasonable request to create neighbourly harmony. Carrot and stick in one.

Without the illegal bit we had a young couple move in next door who smoked outside and yes it drifted in through our windows. SPoke to them, they happily agreed to smoke down the other end of the garden. If it's peeing it down we're unlikely to have our windows open and they smke nearer the house, so all's good. Most people are reasonalbe most of the time.

If its against the law then you bloody well have a moral obligation to report them,

It's only a moral obligation if the law is moral.

WRONG! Unless you're talking about council maintained footpaths where cycling is specifically prohibited.
Cycling on a normal unadopted footpath is generally a civil offence and not illegal as such, you just have no permission to be there riding a bike.

Or if you're the dealer/grower who lives two doors down from me you don't bother and you carry on brazenly growing even though all the neighbours can smell it and you've been busted twice!

I stand corrected. OP, grass him up! (no don't, really. It's a shitty thing to do)

I love STW!!!

Last time I checked, it was perfectly legal to 'smoke' any number of illegal narcs. Its the possession, grow, distribute or sell etc is the illegal part!!!

Talk to them, they may not be aware.

It was only after the birth of my neighbours little girl that we found out if we sparked up in the front room they could smell it in theirs.

Good luck with that defence in a court of law.

Good luck smoking it without possessing it!

Actually.. that's what Bunnyhop is doing isn't it?

There is no defence as there is no crime Junkyard!!!!

Molgrips, yes I'll admit it would be tricky.....but still entirely feasable.

How could you not be guilty of possession if you were caught smoking the stuff ?

So we have ...

Tough, live with it and denounce them to the authorities

The answer lies somewhere between those two extremes but you'll need to find out what their feeling is about it before figuring out which end of the spectrum you need to go.

Have you thought of retaliating? Maybe by wafting over the very worst smell in the world?

You know the one. The vile, sickly sweet one that Subway waft out of their door on to the pavement. No-one could take that for more than an hour. No matter how stoned they were!

Nah the worst is that sickly sweet smell 'Lush' pump out of their artisan soap shops.

Besides the smell do they drive? If they are smoking this stuff all the time and driving under the influence, they pose a hazard to young children / anyone playing in the street.

Now I'm aware rubbish driving isn't exclusive of drinks / drugs, but anything that can be done to reduce this is surely a good thing?

Quantity and timescales.

The quantity placed inside of a spliff is generally regarded as way below the limit required for prosecution.

Timescales....unless you are a moron and spark up in front of a copper, then the product has been consumed which means there would only be ash as evidence.

In both cases the CPS look at the case and laugh at whoever brought it to their attention. Wasting Police and CPS time!!!

Sorry not read all the post.

But how about buying them some baking tins, cake mix and icing sugar .

EVERYONE loves cake

Especially hash cakes

Might be a good way of letting them know they are stinking the place out.

So when you said "perfectly legal" you meant "below the amount where the police can be arsed" ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe the police could install "average stoned cameras" or something to see if they're over the can be arsed amount over the course of a week

Yeah, strong weed does stink. But I suspect the OP is [i]slightly[/i] exaggerating. And as for the bit about 'the dealer coming round every Friday'. [i]Really?[/i] How do you know he's a dealer? Is this him?
