I don’t care if you smoke weed, I really don’t. But honestly, don’t smoke it right outside my living room window. The smell was so damn strong I closed my windows, and yes made a point to close them hard enough you would hear it. Do it in your own house and don’t stink up mine. My friggin’ nose is actually burning from how strong it was. —Don’t Want to Smell It

AND YOU HAVE NO SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET, RIGHT?
I suggest that you get a motion triggered water sprinkler for your front yard. it works on cats, too.
I have to say I agree with OP. Used to live in a small apt in Vancouver, one tiny balcony was the only window/air. The folks below me smoked skunk every hour and said they didn’t want the smell in their place, so stood out on their balcony. It came right up and inside my place (dope used to smell good ‘in my day’) I rigged up a large fan to blow out continuously, but was pretty grouchy about it. Could see their side of it though.
Pour a bucket of water outside your front window and say you’re watering plants. If they get mad just tell them that they can always smoke elsewhere. If they get violent, hoof them in the nuts.
Oh fuck off. Your NOSE was burning? Gimme a damn break
I have this problem, too. So, I shut the windows until they are done. It only takes a few minutes, and fans really help. I can’t say anything about it, we do the same thing. We are very respectful about it, though. Our balcony is nowhere near anyone’s open windows.(we are up top)
I don’t mind the ladies down stairs doing it. It kind of makes me giggle to hear them having so much fun, for old gals.
Some people really do find the smell of pot offensive. I don’t particularly like the smell, myself, but am fine with it here or there.
This guy who lived above me in my two bedroom down the hall used to throw his smoke butts over the side of his balcony onto my patio. I don’t have this problem down here on the end I’m on now, but management is really proactive in nipping that shit in the bu[tt] (heh).
PS: next time a certain someone’s gotta try da bbq smoke *winkwink*
how tolerant and kind of you, KM. I doubt the OP is getting hit with the stink once a week, or even once a day. Would anyone want a skunk to spray in the house? If one goes out on one’s own balcony to keep the smell out of the upholstery, curtains, carpets then yes, it is offensive and rude and thoughtless to inflict it on someone else’s stuff. A whiff of skunk across the road, through the trees in a park, passing by someone’s door in the apt hallway, no problem. But if a smokester deliberately moves away from his own premises into another’s space to smellovate, that’s bad manners. One of the worst of crimes in any urban cage.

fuckin hippies…worthless…fuck em
I like your water sprinkler solution GV. Full marks for that suggestion.
He/she is probably more vexed because the neighbours didn’t invite him/her down for a drag. Dang, wish somebody in my building would treat me to a contact high now and then….
