What can I do about a neighbour that smokes marijuana 3 x a day?

He was scared cause he thought someone was being hurt. Any suggestions on what I ca

    if you live in an apartment tell your landlord. if you own the house call the police and tell them what tis going on and ask them what you should do about it

    If that was your first time in over a month, then most likely no. Taking one hit leaves such little THC in your body that it will not be detectable. As the others said, it will stay in your body for 30 days or more--but that's only for regular users. You're good to go. Just drink lots of water now, and about a gallon or two the morning of the test to make sure. There are detoxifying agents at your local pharmacy too, but that's not necessary. Hope it helps.

    Just try to talk to him and see if he listens. Simply tell him that you don't want to get in his life, but you would really appreciate it if they would keep it contained somewhere else... See if he understands that if it doesn't really bother you so much, it's for the kids. As for the escorts, it's a delicate situation because he is entitled to doing what he wants in that respect, it is in his house, but see if maybe he could close the window while he's "exercising" as it is hard to explain to your kids why they are "playfighting" so loud at a time where people are in bed...(I think there is a law for sound after certain time, but I don't know much about it, if it does apply to your situation though, and he doesn't want to understand, you can bring up the fact that there are rules about noise-making...), if not, then maybe you should close the window while you sleep and put on a fan, because sometimes it is faster to "just deal with it ourselves"

    What he does in his own home is his business, but its obvioulsy having a negative effect on your's and your kids life.

    Try and talk to him, explain your concerns and that you are trying to do the best by your children but his activites are upsetting you. Dont get into an arguement about it as that will make the situ worse. He probably doesnt realise the effect this is having on you and if he did he might act a bit more respectfully by closing his window whilst smoking, or smoking elsewhere.

    1. Cannabis smoke is not dangerous, not more then simply breathing the air in a city, and has actually been shown to assist mucosal cells in degrading particulate matter inhaled from combustion engine exhaust. 2. Stoners are usually cool people, make an apple pie and be like, "this is a peace offering, I have kids who have asthma and cant handle smoke, if you could use a vaporizer or go downwind, their lungs would appreciate it."

    Well, you close your windows at night. Well ask your neighbor politely to cut down on marijuana as its affecting the kids around. Well, regarding prostitutes, you cant get into personal life of a person. Well, this is a serious situation and that guy must be very nasty to mingle too, i wonder. Well, you have a talk with the other neighbors and tell them about this problem.Alone, you can't make much difference.But if other neighbors also share same sentiments and all of you together talk to him , he might listen. Well, its quite a nasty alternative, to tip law enforcers about marijuana and get the guy in remedial treatment.But that can go wrong too. So, play safe.

    Just thank your lucky stars you don't live next door to me!. If I were you and by sounds of it I'm glad I'm not, I'd leave the neighbour alone or maybe you could pop round there and invite him over for a cup of tea and a biccy and sort out some boundaries.

    Because nobody wants to live next door to a person that leaves notes on cars or gives them filthy looks when passing by.x

    Remember closer communities breed less crime, try being nice.x

    well, there is nothing wrong with a person smoking weed, its a way to relax, but i do understand your concern with your kids, i would suggest you go talk to you neighbor and let him know how you feel and see if you could get him to maybe go somewhere to smoke, or, somewhere that it wont be a threat to your children.

    Go and talk to him. A lot of people don't view a lot of things as wrong as bothersome to others. The police are only a nuisance in every situation in my opinion.

    Just go talk to him and explain just as you did here and ask if he could try to contain the smoke or something and possibly try to keep it a bit more quiet because of your kids.

    If he refuses or acts like a jerk or says alright but continues, then I suppose you may as well call the cops.. or take your own actions aha

    next time you see him say, "what is that funny odor that has been coming in all the windows lately? do you think i should report it?"
