That's way too young to start. Young brains learn to need that buzz, and when they develop a tolerance for pot, move on to harder things. I should know: I also started at 13, way back in the 70s when pot was 10x less potent.

For some -- not all -- it leads to a downward spiral. Some of "cool" pals from Chevy Chase ended up pretty successful despite it all; others ended up dead or in jail or as substance abuse counselors. Or as 55 year old landscapers.

Smoking weed literally CURES cancer, dumass.


What? Does it cure cancer or relieve a few symptoms? Obviously, those are two different things.

Or did I fall for a troll post... 😂


Has to be a troll - no one is that dumb.

Because we “libs” are smart enough to know that MJ smoke isn’t harmful or dangerous like cigarette or cigar smoke is. It’s actually beneficial, and can even prevent covid transmission the same way the smoke from burning sage can.

You should educate yourself.


You are an uninformed zealot. And probably a stoner.

I am seeing a lot of disagreement on this point. Can you cite your sources?


I can cite all kinds of sources. Why should I have to? You’re sort of an adult, do your own research. I did.

NP. 🙄 If your response is “so your own research” I automatically know you’re full of it.

Post peer-reviewed articles, or it didn’t happen.

Talk to them!!!! How are people so fearful and timid of their neighbors???? If you are that scared, have you husband talk to them. Who knows, maybe it’ll fix the issue. People are not mind readers.

Nah.
Funniest part is the “ewww it stinks” whiners racking their brains trying to come up with a plan.

Actually, not true. You are legally entitled to quiet enjoyment of your own property. If your neighbor is doing something that is harming, disturbing etc, t[b]hen you can force them to stop doing so
. Especially if it was illegal like doing drugs publicly.

It is actually illegal for you to sit on your front porch and drink wine in DC. Your front porch is considered public. I remember people getting fined 15-20 years ago and people being surprised. I don't think they ever changed the law.


NP. But that's just it - you can't force them to do anything. That's the problem. You can try to have a conversation with them or get the property manager or owner involved if it's a rental unit, but if the behavior continues, you have little recourse short of a lawsuit. Or you move.


From my conversation with attorneys, you could take them to court or threaten to. You can force them to stop what they are doing that is not allowing you to enjoy your property. But have never done it, and it would be a last recourse...


That's the point. Your only real recourse is a civil lawsuit which is expensive and time-consuming, not to mention unpredictable. And if the judge does rule in your favor but the neighbors continue their behavior, you'd likely have to go back to court to enforce the order. By that time, the relationship has likely deteriorated so much that you might as well move anyway.

What happens when it’s legal nationwide? Which will be in a year if Biden wins. The smell may follow you to Annandale or whatever stupid exurb you live in. What are you going to do??? Imagine all those criminals who smoked pot and live among you!
cigarettes are legal yet you can’t smoke them anywhere anymore
