I'm a live and let live kind of chap and it is a bank holiday weekend but I quite like to open my window in summer without the smell of cannabis floating in. It is my neighbours 20ish year old son (95% sure). We get on well and I don't want the police involved. Do I have a quiet word with him, the parents or let it go?

Personally I would let it go, it's no worse than alcohol and the resulting anti social behaviour. We can smell our neighbours cooking but we just have to live with it. If you do speak to them, speak to the son directly in case his parents don't know about it.

Just tell him you don't like the smell of cannabis floating into your house. Not rude. Not angry. Just that sentence at the appropriate moment should ring enough bells if it is a decent chap.

Just speak to the guy smoking it when nobody is around, maybe catch him in the act and ask him to smoke it somewhere that he doesnt have to smell it

Let it go - you'll more than likely get more grief mentioning it to him (or his parents) as he'll only find other ways to wind you up in the future frown

ETA - unless of course he's one of the few decent younger people nowadays that doesn't just want to cause trouble with their neighbours.

Just be glad it's not loud thumping bass courtesy of a stupidly oversized (for a 3 bed semi detached house) internal wall mounted surround sound system, like my neighbours have been running on & off since 9am this morning banghead

You might enjoy it.


My old neighbour (really nice guy) used to sit out on his patio on a summers evening and smoke a huge blunt... And the smoke would drift into my garden and I could get a whiff of it in the house if the windows were open.

I didn't mind at all. I really like that slightly sweet pine-needle type smell of weed smile

In fact, my only concern was that he was some sort of head engineer for Network Rail, and I always wondered if travelling on a train was safe... wink

Just hang out of the window and tell him to go smoke it somewhere else because its getting you buzzing, he probably has no idea that you can smell it and will go sit somewhere else if you ask him.

As for the OPs question. A quiet word with him should do the trick. If not then good luck with the ongoing neighbourhood feud. thumbup

Go outside to the pavement of your place.

If you can STILL smell it. Get down to the local phonebox and call the plastic coppers. The PCSO's love that st.

Sit back and never mention anything to the family or the son. "Nothing to do with you, yeah" Better if you can go out at the same time for an hour or so.

You're joking right?

It's a known carcinogen that with increased exposure will leave your male children (girls are okay) impotent; on any child under 12 it only takes about 15 or so secondary inhalations of the newer style 'gangsta deep weed' ( which they're all smoking now) to, well, essentially fire blanks.

You need not worry about this if your children are girls.

And firing blanks? - unless you're a girl of course...

The kids are both girls so not a concern. Interested where you got that from though as I'd never heard it before..

I sometimes look over the biochemistry magazine I publish.

You've had a sperm count, right... Or has this only just started?

Source?

It sounds suspiciously like Internet rumour to me.

A couple of my mates are big smokers (both graphic designers to fit the stereo type more) and I occasionally smoke it I have never had a case of Mr Soft.

Can't smoke it all the time, it makes me sleepy.

Edit to say I have seen the previous post can I have a link?

You publish a biochem magazine, you know impotent and infertile are two different conditions right?

Apologies, I didn't mean flaccid, impotent, some such medical nonsense in the states - 40 year study on secondary inhalers - suggested a 87.3% lower chance of conceiving.

It was peer reviewed and published in the new scientist, one of my editors picked it up a year or two back IIRC.
