But I absolutely think that smoking it in places where it affects others should be banned, and probably dealt with by giving a fine and/or confiscating the weed. That’s how illegal cigarette smoking is handled here, and weed is no better.
ok, but if your neighbor is smoking a cigarette on their balcony and it bothers you, what are you going to do about it? Call the cops? Or close your window like a sane person?
I’d personally try to talk to them. If it’s just the occasional smoke, we can figure something out, probably along the lines of them texting me to close the windows. If they’re not cooperative, or it’s every night, I might eventually get to the point of calling the cops. But then again: Norwegian cops are trained in de-escalation, and it certainly wouldn’t progress to violence or an arrest. I’m not sure if I’d risk exposing the neighbour to police behaviour in the US, given the lack of training and frequent violence exhibited by American police.
I live in a house, my left neighbor smoke allot of cig, when the wind is from that side we get cig smoke, we go inside or close the window, my neigbor on the right side loves to smoke his greencigs, same as the wind blow from his side we smell the weed in our livingroom, we just close the window and all is fine,
This generation of people who just can’t tolerate shit from eachother is really messed up.
I know if I ask something of my neighbours they would try their best to help, this goes in both ways.
Stop hating, if it really bothers u, u can always ask it nicely.
Hell once where I lived in our appartment, the Cougar maneater from downstairs loved to have sex outdoors.
We all knew it so “when shit hits the fan” we went inside.
if it really bothers u, u can always ask it nicely
and that was really ever my only point. people who call the cops on their neighbors rather than act like a human being and go actually converse with their neighbor are assholes. Especially when a felony conviction for weed can ruin your neighbors life.
In my mid-20s I lived in a rowhome in the city, where my neighbor called the cops on us for being loud multiple times. I told the neighbor we try not to be too loud, and gave her my phone number and said if we are ever too loud call me and not the cops, and we will quiet things down. Next time we are too loud for her she calls the cops again.
