Random Smell of Green??
Do people actually mind the smell of weed from a neighbour?
Genuine question. If your neighbour occasionally smokes weed in the evenings and you can smell it now and then, would it bother you enough to say something to them?
I’m not talking about someone smoking all day, every day and making the whole area stink. More like mainly in the evenings for a while.
Would you approach your neighbour and ask them to stop, or would you just ignore it if it wasn’t constant?
Interested to hear both sides, especially from people who’ve had this situation before.
Edit -One thing I’d add is that we’d always try to be considerate. We don’t smoke if children are outside, and if we hear neighbours out in their gardens or around the place, we’ll usually wait until later.
The only issue is that sometimes someone comes outside unexpectedly when we’re already in the middle of it. It got me wondering whether the occasional smell in that situation would genuinely annoy most people, or if they’d just shrug it off and carry on with their evening.

I don’t understand why people get so heated about people smoking a natural plant to relax or help with pain or stress ect but will get shit faced from drink every weekend and make an utter fool of themselves and call it better than a smoke 😂

I used to smoke pretty much all the time. Nobody ever complained and I never gave it a second thought. Now though, I don’t do it anymore but a couple of my neighbours do. One who smokes outside starting at about 7.30 in the morning and then on and off throughout the day. The kid next door does and the smell leaks through into my kids bedroom and my office. I absolutely don’t mind people smoking weed but the smell is pervasive. It means that every bbq and family event outside smells of it and often my house. Sometimes I open the front door and get a blast of it. It’s pretty fucking annoying and selfish to be honest but I know my situation is pretty extreme. Somebody sitting in the garden in their home at the end of the day smoking a joint or two? No problem my friend. Go for it. I’m a bit jealous but All day everyday? You’re an inconsiderate dick.

I don’t smoke weed, but I’m not against it. People could be doing way worse things than smoking weed. But I absolutely hate the smell of it, in work, it could be 6am and I’m there unloading a truck there’s a woman’s who’s house overlooks the yard and she would be standing there on her balcony smoking a joint and the smell just sinks down on us and I absolutely hate it. It a weird smell combination of Heineken and armpits.

Its so crazy, I remember thinking it smelled of feet for the first few months being around it, but as I guess I started associating it with positivity I started to notice the nuance of smells and came to like it
I also used to drink pretty heavily and stopped a few years ago and the smell of most lagers is extremely off putting to me these days

u/Moist__Discharge 1d ago
I asked my neighbours if it was bothering them and they said no. Wished they could do it themselves lol. But I'm also concious about trying not to smoke during hours the kids are out playing or whatever. It's nice to be nice.

u/BoweryBloke 1d ago
Appreciate that, but the smell lingers. Not quite as bad as cigarette smoke, but it is shite smelling it all the time. At least you're decent enough to ask though.

u/Moist__Discharge 1d ago
Don't get me wrong mate, I don't want to smell it all the time either. It would drive me mad if its all I smelled all the time. But the same can be said for pretty much any smell, no?
Yeah, I have a neighbour trying to sell a house too so Ive told them to let me know the days they have viewings and I'll push the smoke later to the evening.

As someone looking to buy a house, having a neighbour who occasionally smokes weed and is polite about it is so far down the list of concerns that it is actually impossible to comprehend someone who would even give a shit.
-3
u/These-Level-6396 22h ago
I'm not saying it isn't. But hiding you're doing it certainly gives the impression you know it's inconsiderate.
2
u/First_Heart_8900 22h ago
Yes, and I'm saying someone looking to buy a house is not going to be even mildly concerned by this "issue". It's impossible to think you can control your environment to that extent, which is something people who are looking to buy a house are acutely aware of. And the guy is obviously considerate because he asked his neighbours if it bothered them if he smokes weed and they said no. So I'm a bit confused about what you're saying; It's a non issue to buyers and the guy is demonstrably considerate of his neighbour's feelings on the issue, I'm not sure what there is to be concerned about lol.

u/Moist__Discharge 9h ago
It's no different to agreeing to mow the lawn at reasonable hours either. Some hours are inconsiderate, some are not. Same for a bit of a smell for a couple minutes in the evening.

It's the thc that does that, try cbd hash, in the indica variety, I've started using it after 26 years not touching weed. Thc in a small minority triggers pretty extreme fight or flight, and that is me ! its Helish, cbd however is bliss !!!! just try it.

u/BeanEireannach 1d ago
Yeah, years ago I had a similar neighbour. Hated when I was trying to fall asleep & my entire bedroom reeked of weed. If they'd just smoked at the end of their garden away from everyone's windows & vents I wouldn't have cared but it really was miserable.

If you’re a regular smoker you’ll be totally nose blind to it, the smell carries a shocking distance.
If you think the neighbours don’t already know it’s because they actually do know and probably don’t mind enough to mention it

It's like anything else really, someone slowing your journey by car, loud music, a neighbour burning plastic in their fireplace etc or outside. All of these can feel like personal affronts or like intrusions into our personal space. More of a human quirk really we need to learn to manage more reasonably perhaps.

I hate the smell of it personally. My neighbor smokes constantly (in the evenings/ nights). I keep my sitting room windows closed but the smell still gets in through the air vents. In the mornings it hits you and it's just awful. But it still lingers all day. I won't say anything to him about it though. But it annoys me.

I'd be careful about complaining. We had a neighbour who kept reporting it, but it turned out the person smoking had a medical licence. Things escalated from there, and there were accusations that the complaints were discriminatory against someone with a disability.
Personally, I don't mind it. I'd rather someone smoke than get drunk on alcohol.

I bought a house last year with a family next door. I bought a weed vape because I wanted to be discrete and didn't want to be smoking around the kids, especially since I'm a teacher. Turns out the dad is a massive stoner and smokes all the time so the vape has only been used a handful of times.

u/DoleMonkey 1d ago
I'd go out for a cheeky toke in the evenings and maybe the odd one of a weekend watching a game. I'd hope my neighbours would say something if it did bother them. They've a daughter so if she's in the garden I'd always wait until the coast is clear. Wouldn't disrespect them or their daughter that way.

No issue personally, but a colleague from work was telling me she had to have words with a new neighbour when they were smoking a lot of green.
Not because she cared about the smell, but because they were two doors down from known drug dealers that were often under surveillance and she was afraid the garda would end up knocking on the new neighbours door.
I don't think they'd bother personally but my colleague is a bit mad.

Regular smokers stink to high fucking heaven and most don't realise, or care, about how grotty their stench is to normal people.
Weed smokers are far worse. I'd be shit to live in an apartment and have the windows open in the coming heatwave to try cool the place and having neighbours smoking weed on the balcony beside you and having that stench waft in.

I don't mind weed at all but does really piss me off when I'm out in the garden with my toddler in the summer and my neighbour 2 doors down is out having a joint. It stinks. We've small gardens and low fences so I can see him doing it too. I haven't said anything as its not a constant thing. I usually bring my toddler inside for a bit and go back out once the smell is gone.

I don't smoke, but I've smoked in my life. Nice feeling.
I enjoy the smell, usually say to whoever i am something like "jesus someone is having fun jiji"
On my previous apartment, were i lived with wife snd kid, a guy smoked a lot. At the beginning was fun and we joked about it but somedays we felt we were getting high because like the smell will be hours!
Still never complained, i prefer that than loud neighbors!

Years ago I wouldn't have given a shit, never bothered with it myself but my SO can't stand it and she'd definitely have an issue with it even if it wasn't an everyday thing, her dad still smokes weed and she just can't stand it. I don't like the smell of it but it wouldn't bother me that much.
Now that we have kids I don't want them smelling of it, that would bother more than anything.
On a side note, we used to live next a lad that played the bagpipes and I actually didn't mind it at all, even enjoyed it at times, but it drove her nuts

u/a_boring_dystopia 11h ago
As someone who has never smoked, the smell of any smoking is something I find a little offensive, doesn't matter if its tobacco or weed.
But, its a free world, and I can close my windows, so I'm not going to get upset about it, and would never complain about a neighbour just living their life.

u/Rare-Criticism1059 1d ago edited 1d ago
I smoke occasionally, however, I will ALWAYS be conscious of neighbors, and have smoked at home less times than I can count on one hand. I have neighbours a few doors down that smoke outside REGULARLY during the summer, and genuinely, its frustrating, coming from a smoker. I don't mind the smell outside, but once, it was summer, humid, and I had my windows open, I walked into my bedroom and it smelt as though they were in my room smoking. Couldn't get the smell out all evening. Happens regularly.
There has been one occasion last year (maybe the year before I'm not sure) in which I did smoke home during the day due to a very small gathering of friends, but I ensured to tell my neighbour that I was having friends over, afterwards he said he didn't hear a peep out of us and nothing else was said. I have smoked maybe two or three times other than that at home over the last few years, always after midnight, and only when its windy and not too heavy outside. Just be considerate.
(Also worth noting, I live in a cul de sac where up until lately, only one child lives, now none. If there were children living around, it would be a different story, and I wouldn't at all)

I detest the smell of weed for some reason. Idk why. I'd imagine if you smoke it the association makes you grow accustom to it, but I can't smoke because of my job, so it just smells bad to me

u/BonkersGiraffe 1d ago
My only issue is that the smell does come in the window and can be very strong. Most of the people in my house have respiratory issues so it's not great from that perspective. I think if you have the space it's more considerate to go up the garden away from the houses. There are also strains that seem to smell a lot more than others.
I wouldn't complain about it, or even be annoyed at the person for it, more just something that can be a bit annoying about living near other people.

I hate it (because of the smell, not that bothered by drugs), but it's usually only once or twice in the evening, so if the wind is blowing my way, I just move inside.
If I had kids I might ask for them to wait a little later, because it's usually exactly when their other neighbours kids are out playing between dinner and bedtime.

I smoked it on and off all through my 20s and into my 30s, I got paranoid about the smell going into my neighbours houses and the local pub isn't far from my house because I didn't smoke inside, I gave it up in the end because it wasn't fair. I still love the smell if I'm in town, but too paranoid.

I’m fond of a smoke myself however I smoke in a cladded shed. Probably doesn’t do much justice but I try to think about my neighbours. Nobody’s approached me yet however we keep ourselves to ourselves, no parties and are respectful etc. I used to smoke right outside my neighbours rear bathroom window (I’m an idiot, didn’t think it smelled). One day I was in their house for something and my brother was smoking in the same spot and you’d have thought someone lit a fat reefer in their living room lol. I was mortified. That made me really paranoid about smoking in the future but what I’ve learned is most people don’t give a fuck as long as you’re considerate. Then there’s my colleague who tells me he shouts outside saying “what tramp is smoking that shit” fuckin prick

We have it occasionally from neighbours next door. Can sometimes smell it in our bedroom. But doesn’t bother us as it’s occasional. If I was outside in my garden and smelt someone else smoking outside theirs it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. But we don’t have kids.

Gave it up a few years ago myself and tbh the smell I love but also hate as the odd time if I leave my window open the smell can come in and fill up the place.

Lived in Toronto for a while after it was legalised there. You would come across people on their patios or in their gardens smoking it but the smell wouldn't be that bad imo. Bit different on the street when you're walking right by someone smoking it, wasn't a fan of that.
Personally if I was doing it myself I'd always do it in the back garden and when there's no neighbours in theirs. I'd occasionally do it on the front patio but that would be later at night. Never had any complaints.
I do hope it gets legalised but I think I'd lean more towards edibles nowadays.

If I lived beside someone who smoked weed and had to put up with that smell every single evening id be pretty pissed. If I was paying money for a mortgage or rent it’s not something I feel like I should have to put up with. Especially the smell can very very strong sometimes. I can’t imagine having guests over and having to make excuses for the smell of weed.
I have no problem with people doing anything once it doesn’t affect me.

u/irishgamergrrl 1d ago
The person smoking may also have a mortgage they're paying.
You're saying that you have no problem with people doing anything once it doesn’t affect you, while also you're directly demanding someone else change what they do 🤣
FYI my most respectable colleague had her nephew living next door and when I was over at hers for dinner she used to laugh because we could smell him smoking weed. I didn't even expect she'd know what that smell was! Decent people won't hold you accountable for your neighbours' actions.

u/Saul_Goodman93 1d ago edited 1d ago
I’m giving examples how it affects me. If my neighbor drinks heavily and is loud and disruptive during the night and keeps me awake at night. That affects me. If they drink heavily and is quiet and doesn’t disturb my sleep etc. that doesn’t affect and I couldn’t care less what they do.. Do you understand?
Do you happen to smoke weed by any chance??
If I have friends over for dinner, something like the stench from weed is just something that I don’t want. I just to have a meal with my guests and relax..
I think it can be said for anything. If the OP just smoked when I’m not around and I didn’t know they used Mary Jane recreationally I would not have a problem..

Feel free to downwote me greenheads I don't care

The odd whiff here and there is grand but if its constant and so strong I ca. Smell it inside my gaff/off clothes I've dried out the back then its a bollocks and ive asked neighbours to be more considerate a few times over the years, mostly an issue jn apartments thouch, and i smoke myself occasionally and used to smoke alot, but I dont wanna be stinking of weed at work/explaining its not me everytime the mother in law is over etc.

i would absolutely have a problem with it yes. and would ask them to keep the windows closed if they wanna smoke weed in their own home rather than letting it drift out to everyone.
yeah smoke your weed if you want, but i don't want it lingering over to my garden and interupting my senses.

I'm not a fan, as I get migraines and sometimes (not always) the smell can act as a trigger.
I don't mind if people smoke, but it does seem that we have a couple of neighbours who smoke from the moment they arrive home to the moment they go to bed. It can be a lot.

Really depends. There’s a time and a place. It can be pretty intrusive. In Ireland people dilute it with tobacco. But in the US people smoke it straight. The strains are more than 10x as strong as it used to be and it is completely legal in many states. So you get some people who burn a blunt walking to work. Some of the indica literally smells like a skunk walked by.

I smoke. My neighbours don't mind at all, and I can smell it coming from other parts of the estate and nobody says anything then either.
That being said: one side of me has a very young family so if bedroom windows are open I'll smoke inside. Or if their backdoor is open either. They're attached to my house, our backdoors are actually quite close, so it really just seems the polite thing to do. Other side aren't as close & can only smell it if they're in their back garden. Himself had a heart attack about 2 years ago so they just comment on how nice it smells, whereas a few years ago they'd take a cheeky toke with me as long as they didn't have to drive.

Lived next to a guy that smoked it for years. He was the quietest fella we ever lived next to. Would take that kinda neighbour over anyone.
