Cigars would smell a hell of a lot worse and be totally legal.
Cigars don't smell anywhere near as bad as weed.TBH a large part of the stinkiness is a marketing tool to people who think that smoking weed is an adequate replacement for a personality. It doesn't necessarily indicate potency.
If marijuana is legalised I'd like to see some sort of marketing drive toward less pungent varieties or even moving away from joints altogether. "Don't be an antisocial t
t: smoke reeks-less marijuana. Or try new and improved no-stench brownies. Now your neighbours won't even be able to smell why you gibber on like a buffoon".final_edition said:
It is a rancid stinky stench.
If they like the smell so much, why can't they smoke it indoors?
Because the Tenancy agreement is very clear. No smoking anything in the house. Obviously. If they like the smell so much, why can't they smoke it indoors?
My old lodger, used to go for a walk with his weed, so as not to smell out the rear garden.

Someone who invents weed that’s flavoured/ scented as vapes are will make a fortune lol.
They probably did. When that was invented god knows how many years ago. They have a taste and a faint smell but it’s far less all encompassing that actual weed as a smell. To the point where you could use it inside and the smell goes almost straight awayfinal_edition said:
The other half lives in a terrace house. The bloke who lives 3 houses along is a chronic user.
Assuming you aren't using the word "chronic" in the early-90s rap meaning of the word (when the Lakers beat the Supersonics), it is funny that as a society we rarely say "marijuana addict". Heroine addict, cocaine addict, alcoholic, adrenaline junky...I've had people tell me that marijuana isn't addictive, but from what I've seen I think it most definitely is, and a quick Google reveals that authorities on the matter also think it is.
It doesn't affect much, I'm not suggesting we point at our neighbours in the street and chant "Drug addict! Drug addict! Slave to narcotics!" but it is peculiar we don't say marijuana addict.
Weed is absolutely everywhere in my rural neck of the woods. I doubt you could walk for more than 20 minutes without coming across some sort of plantation in an attic or shed.
When the weather is warm, there is almost a constant whiff of the stuff on the breeze; I think its so endemic now that even if the OP approaches his neighbours, they will probably think he is deranged for actually noticing!
I suspect plod are not interested in this low level stuff

Because as with most things, being an addict is a very different thing to doing something regularly. I drink most days, I'm not an alcoholic. If matey smokes most days, that doesn't make him an addict.I've had people tell me that marijuana isn't addictive, but from what I've seen I think it most definitely is, and a quick Google reveals that authorities on the matter also think it is.

The only reason that you're on here moaning is because it's illegal. Would you think that you have a leg to stand on if it was cigars or curry? If you don't like living close to people then buy a house with no neighbors, it's not your neighbors problem.
I wouldn't give a damn about weed smoking if it didn't utterly stink, and I think a lot of people feel similarly.If it were legalised, every opinion I have about people stinking places out with it would remain.

You could move to a country where weed is legalised so customers can more easily buy odourless strains not soaked in pesticides?
Does that make a big difference? I live in one of those countries, with a "coffee shop" just round the corner, and notice the smell of weed quite often, but don't find it as bad as some on here suggest. If anything it's less objectionable than the smell of cigarette smoke. Do we have less stinky varieties here?jesusbuiltmycar said:
As I have mentioned before, now that the wether is good I am amazed by the number of drivers that sit in traffic smoking weed
Try commuting on a motorbike up the A13 as you pass the vans/cars stuck in traffic the whole place stinks of weed i'm sure i used to be stoned by the time i got home.I used to hate blazing up outside. Naturally I got paranoid that somebody like the OP would grass me up and Plod would end up weeding me out and sending me to a Gulag. Properly harshed the buzz. However when I lived in a ground floor flat I didn’t want to upset any sensitive neighbours in the block so I’d end up toking next to the extractor fan in the kitchen. This at least conferred the benefit of extreme proximity to the fridge.
Used to smoke it up until about 20 years ago but the strains there are now seem way more prevalent and smell far more pungent. It's not hard to see why it annoys people. Especially those that don't partake.
As for addiction to weed, that also seems much more common nowadays. Maybe because there are far stronger strains available?

I don’t care if it’s illegal. My issue is that it absolutely stinks.craig_m67 said:

I’m not trolling. I was just curious as to if there’s anything I can do. Also moving isn’t an option. ( I also call troll)
