> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > You quoted New York law. > > I’m not calling the precinct down the street. > > Federal law enforcement agencies have an interest in drug dealers. Got any actual evidence that this is happening? I mean, it’s pretty freaking obvious my neighbors are dealing. They prop the back door to our apartment building open every day (the stairs are right between our units), there is a regular high volume of people coming in and out every evening and the hall reeks of weed. I actually did call the cops on them one night because they had the surround sound going full blast after midnight on a weeknight and refused to turn it down. The cops knocked on the door, they turned it down. The cops seemed to take no note of the smell of weed and left. No further issue with noise since then. 🙂 $200 fine here in MN for less than an ounce and a half. The fine is less than what it would cost the cops to mobilize to raid the apartment, arrest anyone, file the paperwork store evidence and see it through court. So unless you have Joe Gungho as your local cop, the most he’s going to do is knock on the door, inform the person that there are complaints about pot smoke, tell him “stop making your neighbors complain” and leave it at that. ---

There seems to be a disconnect. I will repeat. No, I will not be taking this up at the NYPD level. Miller of course you are correct. Like many other contractors in this country, I am subject to random drug testing. ---

Y’know, these people whose homes reek, I wonder if their smoking habits are different from mine. When I’m consuming my legally purchased medical marijuana here in California, I keep it very tight. I only smoke in the bathroom, I close the door and turn on the fan, I take a few efficient hits and I’m done. Paraphernalia goes back into the box, I stay in a few minutes more and keep running the fan, maybe spritz some air freshener. That’s it. Never had anyone complain. ---

> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > There seems to be a disconnect. I will repeat. > > No, I will not be taking this up at the NYPD level. Yes, there is a disconnect, and it is on your side. Without evidence of a major Fed level felony, the feds are going to look at you like you’re crazy and tell you to call the local cops. IF you lie and claim a crime is happening when it is not, then you’re the one who may end up facing charges for filing a false police report. ---

Anonymous letter, slid under the door, "I am a resident of this building and involved with a law enforcement officer who is often in and out of this building. He knows. Everybody knows! I cannot recommend discretion highly enough." And, done! (Cause if potheads are anything, it’s paranoid about the cops!) ---

Change your Wi-Fi network name to something cop-related, like “FBI-SURVEILLANCE.” ---

Any well written lease will include provisions for no illegal activity. Breaking the lease is cause for eviction (though in NY that can take awhile). ---

> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > The Adult Upstairs Ha ha. Ahahaha. No, no you’re not acting like an adult, you’re acting like a spoiled, entitled brat. You don’t have a fucking right not to smell stuff. Not that you’ll actually smell a great deal anyway (my cite - living with heavy pot smokers for years). You just want to control what other people do in private. ---

I don’t know why people insist on rolling their weed when they could be vaping it, or vaping shatter. No odor, and better for the lungs. Better for everybody. Smoking rollies is so twentieth century. Once in a blue moon is ok, but not if you’re drenching your neighbours in skunk aroma. ---
