Cannabis Smell
I have lived in my erraced for 5 years, but my neighbour was recently placed into a nursing home, his daughter sold his house and someone brought it, modernised it and rented out. The new tenants are a mother and 2 x teenage daughters. Non of them work - but that is not the problem and not my business. But, what is my problem is that from morning to night the smell of cannibis or whatever is over powering.. I work from home and when I have my windows open i feel quite odd, and want to be sick. Friends have been round and trademens and they must think its us as the smell lingers. They are not particulary friendly and I feel I can't approch them - and I do not know the owner - does anyone have any suggestions as its making life at home horrible - I know some would like it / embrace it but I / we hate it.
I don't wnt problems with neighbours and we can't afford or want to move we have done so much work and love our house. Please help.

I do see the harm in society from the criminal activity of drug pushers and users. I see the harm in people driving under the influence of cannabis. I see the danger in people operating machinery after smoking it. I see the harm in smoking it around babies and children.
My neighbours' smoke it occasionally and I wouldn't dream of reporting them but I would if it affected me or my family.
I'm with you there Barry. And it applies to tobacco as well. To be honest some prescribed drugs are far stronger as I know on ly too well. It doesn't mean that if you smoke canabis you will go on to the stronger substances. It depends on the person and/or the peer group they mix with.
If you enjoy wine and other alcoholic beveragex it doesn't mean you turn into an Alcoholic.
It seems that marijuana of today is a lot stronger than it was in the past - as reported on here;

I think I'm with Lottie and Barry on this. My neighbours smoke weed...one frequently outside(block of maisonettes with shared upper walkway/balcony. No antisocial behaviour unless you include the extremely rare instances of a bit too much to drink. None of them are headed down the so called slippery slope to much harder drugs...and I've seen plenty of that when I was working at the drop-in. Most people only use it recreationally...and are not likely to be robbing pensioners.
If it was impacting my quality of life or that of any other residents I'd have a word first...give them a chance to adjust behaviour.
Maybe the OP could post an anonymous note through the neighbours door...make them aware that it's noticed and is illegal.
