Send this bloke round to steal his stash

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?

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 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.

Neighbour does it here aswell,our clothes sometimes stink of it after it being outside on the line,is that wrong?

yes speak to them about this

Our neighbour used to hold barbecues when our clothes were out drying

its not on IMHO but it is a live and let life.
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 **** freaks them out 99.9% of the time. Weed should be smoked indoors relaxed not like a butty on the go.

So what’s your plan of attack starship?

So what’s your plan of attack starship?

Whinge about it on the internet.

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…?

Good lord. You’re right!

*calls police about evil drug-lord OP.

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.

I don’t think that has anything to do with what they’re smoking…

hmmpf

Your right its definitely a steeping stone gateway drug to all kinds of terrible things have you seen this documentary or the hats they wear at festivals?

Derek, seriously, not trying to be a pain but…. Do you never drink while your family are 10′ away?

First it’s marijuana, then beat music. Then MURDER.

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.

have you tried closing the window?

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.

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.

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.

Help him build a shed?

Is this the noisey one’s?

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.

Christ. Next you’ll be telling me that it’s okay for off-road motorbikes to tear down the local bridleways at 30mph. “They’re just letting their hair down. Chill out OP. ”

Would you politely asking me to move them further from your property be reasonable.

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.

Those two and four star leaded petrol are my three favourite odours. My own farts follow a close fourth.

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.

I prefer Castrol R, then bacon.

Clearly your mate didn’t vet his tenants properly.

I think you re confusing his back garden with an open space shared by all
