How to handle new neighbor's weed smell filling our apartment? I know it's just weed, but I'm at my wit's end. (apartment complex, to live)

...I get that the smell bothers her and that it sucks for you guys, but please don't ruin someone's life over this. It sounds like these people are minding their own business in their own home.

...If you hate other people's odors that much, it might be better to get a house with space around it vs living in such close proximity to others. Because a LOT of people smoke weed. Even if you manage to get this person evicted, another stoner could move right in.

Or the person who has no concern for his or her neighbors should take responsibility and not blatantly break the rules. I have no issue with someone smoking weed, but the OP will not be ruining someone's life because he doesn't like the smell... no, the smoker will be doing that because he could at least try to take others into consideration.

Here's an idea. Maybe since it is an apartment complex with people living in close proximity, and there are rules in the complex, maybe the smoker should move to a house with space around it. Suggesting that the person who is following the rules and doing nothing wrong should move instead of the person breaking the rules and disturbing others is wrong and irresponsible.

Your suspicions would be wrong because the premise is wrong. Nicotine is not anything like THC or CBD. Likewise the smoke from two very different substances are different and will have different results.

But we're not even talking about smoke here, we're talking about the mere smell of a substance.

Yeah I have to laugh at that suggestion. Sounds like someone is overly baked in Cali.....

I suppose if I was blasting my music at top volume that you should move because its too loud...

You don't know that her nausea and headaches are not caused by the pot. Have you ever been pregnant? Even normal everyday things can cause you to feel sick. The smell of onions made me sick with one of my pregnancies. With another, the smell of potato chips and ketchup. With another one I would get nauseated and vomit bile any time my stomach was empty, but at the same time I couldn't eat anything. It's not fun.

Secondhand marijuana smoke isn’t only harmful, it’s more damaging than tobacco smoke. To protect the long-term health of our heart and lungs, we need to avoid exposure. Interestingly, studies show it’s the burning of plant material that causes impairment to our blood vessels, not the THC (the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana) or the rolling paper. Bottom line: You can’t simply change those factors and enjoy harmless smoke.

Nausea during pregnancy is a common symptom.

Yes, but you’ve ignored everything else in this thread.

Pot smokers, unite!, apparently. And to he** with anyone who doesn’t want to smell the foul odor.

OP, call the police. I wouldn’t give 1 second’s consideration to jerk neighbors who clearly did not give 1 second’s thought to whom THEY might be harming with their illegal activities.

So essentially it's like sitting by a campfire. The horror!

I'm gonna really live life on the edge later and go have a few tokes by the campfire, cause that's just how I roll.

Devil may care and doubling down on it.

You know, you're being pretty much a jerk. If you were sitting at a campfire smoking, the incredibly horrible stench of what you were smoking would NOT get into the OP's apartment.

That is NOT the OP's situation -- because the smoke IS getting into their apartment, and why on earth should they have to put up with that? Those who are saying that THAT "is not a big deal" are delusional (as is the poster who said no one could smell marijuana on her just after smoking -- BS!!).

So yes, it IS a big deal. This is why many apartment buildings don't allow smoking of any kind inside the buildings -- because the smoke will go to other apartments, and the people who live in those apartments should not have to put up with it.

And you wonder why people are against decriminalization or legalization of marijuana?
