Must be difficult going through life with incurable red ass.
Exactly. If they were fond of burning incense or cooking Indian food, he’d have essentially the same problem, minus all the righteous indignation and toothless threats to rat them out to the highest authorities.
I guess it’s all a matter of preference. Marijuana is certainly more pungent than tobacco, but it offends me a lot less than cigarette smoke. Our (townhouse) nextdoor neighbor liked to smoke on his back porch—a particularly acrid brand of filterless European cigarettes—which wasn’t pleasant, but was within his right. When he did, we’d close our windows and wait a few minutes, then reopen them and go on with our lives.
Vaping is free of smoke, but I would not describe it as odorless.
Sorry, I probably shouldn’t need to ask this, seeing how I’m not exactly new here and (s)he is practically a founding member, but: is the OP known to be mentally ill?
Well, you’re not going to smell it from one apartment over. That’s for sure.
I was over at the supermarket on Saturday night, and the vape shop next door was hosting some sort of get-together (or maybe it was just a normal night servicing the nicotine fiends).
Even though their front door was open, there was a thick fog in the place, as people stood or sat around puffing out clouds of “vapor” laden with propylene glycol carrier,
nicotine, fragrance, and whatever else the Chinese fill those cartridges with.
I wouldn’t want to be an apartment renter living over a vape shop.
“Vaping” cannabis and “vaping” nicotine are completely different things.
Nicotine vaping consists of cooking nicotine-laced “juice” (propylene glycol, flavor, scent, etc.) on an electric heating element. It involves spewing a cloud of grape-scented droplets in the air. It’s better than smoking, but still kinds reeks IMO.
A cannabis vaping system heats marijuana at temperatures that are below combustion temp, but above the temp at which THC is volatile. The vaporizer usually dispenses into a plastic bag, from which the person inhales. It’s literally smokeless, and smells very little.
Even worse, he sings along.
Someone’s smoking pot in NYC. Get me the fucking President!
That will make a massive difference, what with Massachusetts being a harsh totalitarian dictatorship where jackbooted thugs come marching down the street the minute you light up.
Not that I’m aware of, no.
This OP is not out of character for him.
Put those statements together however you see fit.
How often do you run into tobacco smokers these days. though? In their own homes, sure, but I almost never see smokers when I’m out and about anymore. I think I saw someone smoke from their car once in the parking lot.
Then again, when the highschool band was practicing on the practice field by parking lot, we could smell the smoke from the people who lit up in the parking lot. There is no way I would have smelled cigarette smoke that far away.
Though I have wondered if it was something else–I’d never smelled pot before then, but people told me that’s what it was.
IMHO, pumpkin spice smells worse than any illicit (or licit) drug and anyone who makes me smell it can go to hell.
Pot smoke smells sort of skunky.
We can take out a dozen oil wells in Syria, so I’m sure we can drone this neighbor’s ass to Timbuktu.
“Pumpkin spice… good to know. Seeya soon, RNATB!”

Well,
Help! Help! I’m being repressed by German neo-nazis!
Colin Farrell should be charged with rape for kissing a co-star onscreen!
Judge for yourself.
I do, because I’d rather lose the 40% who smoke over the 60% who don’t (not that any of those %ages have anything to do with reality). Note, I’m not talking about pot smokers in general. I’m talking only about pot smokers who smoke in their rental units, especially in multi-family units. Hell, I avoid renting to smokers whenever possible, and any illegal activity is reason for eviction.
I also don’t (usually) rent in NY, because evicting in NY is a pain in the ass, and in NYC even worse, but that would be a different rant better written by a NYC rental owner.
That’s just bad building management. Statistically speaking, small family will be an overall better renter than pot-smoking renters (and I don’t give an airborne rodents buttocks if you smoke pot and are a great renter - I will still play the odds). No good property manager should want frequent police visits nor one/two units causing other units to vacate. Sadly, there are plenty of not-good property managers out there.
You are willing to command thousands of dollars in govt resources in order to take care of a problem that could be handled by maintaining a chat and/or speaking to the property owner. How selfish are today’s urban liberals? We have a clue to the answer.
