Genie Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 There was a lad who lived next door to a place we used to live, he started smoking weed in the back garden at night. I don’t have a problem with him doing that, but the problem is the smell. There’s absolutely no way I’m going to have the smell of it in my house or on my washing. It’s pretty **** selfish doing something that stinks like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've got a crop on in the attic , the police would most likely hang up and tell them to stop wasting police time. Personal consumption is "practically "legal at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it . Call the police and say your neighbour is sitting on his back doorstep smoking weed, and listen to what they say . The first thing they will ask is if you believe they are growing it and/or selling it . If you say no then they may send somebody round to ask them to smoke inside rather than outside but no arrests will be made.

Brumerican's answer has been the case for a very long time in practise around here. When I lived in my previous house, so more than 16 years ago, the neighbouring property was a HMO. The police gave a lecture on the doorstep of what was and was not reasonable behaviour. One of the three occupants had complained and the police spent a good 30 minutes just trying to get all three of them to mutually agree a code of conduct. The house did eventually revert back to single occupancy as the HMO idea was giving the Landlord too much grief. It was not the complainant that stayed on, it was the quiet smoker. I think that was all way before the police and politicians were openly more relaxed about discreet private use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t really as the old couple next door aren’t smoking weed (as far as I know ) I still can’t believe that if I call the police to report a crime their response will be that they aren’t interested and won’t take ANY action which was what was suggested.

The truth is they aren't interested . Unless a larger crime may be going on then there is a chance they will do nothing . They just don't have the time or resources to be going round telling people to put their joints out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 One of the lads at work got caught with a bag of coke on him the other week. He was walking through town, and the police for whatever reason pulled him over. They took the bag off him, and gave him a word of warning. The coke was probably going up their nose minutes later.

Well they don't . Not sure what else to tell you ! Many Police chiefs are on record saying that whilst it's still a crime they are willing to look the other way in regards to personal consumption. For most of the constabularies it's "unofficial" policy to do nothing. Edited January 28, 2018 by Brumerican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your mate may be bullshitting. Possession of a bag of coke is at least a caution surely? They wouldn't just take it off him and move him on.

Rugeley Villa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Think I'm going to patch up my old Levi's denim coat. I've had it for years, and i only wear it now and again. I'll enjoy getting some band patches, and rocking it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
