LukeV-2 Posted July 3, 2020 Share I live in a Balwin-style property, where you have 4 levels and all share a common stairwell. I stay on one of the upper levels, so I pass a few other apartment doors on the way up.Each day, without fail, when you walk past a particular door, you can't avoid smelling the strongest smell of weed, almost like you are in the same room as the smoker. Now, if you want to do that, that's cool. It's your choice I guess, and it's legal for private use, but is there anything we can do to prevent needing to smell this every time we come home / leave? It's super unpleasant, and also, a bit sucky to bring guests over (when we can legally) and just being like "Welcome to our house, don't mind the incredibly strong smell of weed. Enjoy your meal."

Stevief Posted July 3, 2020 Share Could be worse they could be alcoholics. Weed smokers are chilled just knock on the door and ask them to put a towel by the front door to stop the smell. Gen, Hairy and Mojoman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeV-2 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Could be worse they could be alcoholics. Weed smokers are chilled just knock on the door and ask them to put a towel by the front door to stop the smell. Good perspective. They already have a towel and I've spoken to them. Wondering if there's any authorities to alert, or any mention in the law about your smoking bothering others.

They're doing it in the confines of their own residence, and it's not affecting you when you walk past. It's just the smell that some people can't get to grips with. Maybe ask them to close those windows that back on to the corridor / stairs, if there are any. Gen, Patchelicious, Mojoman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted July 3, 2020 Share Yes, much better than the school opposite me who rents out their school hall to a charismatic church group that throws all Sunday parties with truly terrible gospel music loud enough for the Cape Town stadium. Think I must get someone to smoke them out! At least get them to convert to reggae Edited July 3, 2020 by DJR Mojoman, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and gummibear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted July 4, 2020 Share How bad is it really ? If it’s constant then have a word. You are entitled to an environment free of this. I like heavy metal. If I played it constantly ppl would get annoyed. I like beer. If I peed on their door they would get annoyed. RocknRolla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
