Yeah, so basically, two of my housemates keep buying and smoking weed in the house. I'm renting with 4 other people, and they are all smokers (though only two do weed consistantly). I am a non smoker, and have expressed they don't smoke at all in the house. They're ok with this, as we were friends in halls and they understood that before moving in.

Previously they have had no problem with going outside and smoking, which is fine by me, I just don't like the smell to be honest. However they've started ignoring me and smoking indoors more and more frequently, and tonight they smoked weed in the house (for the first time) which has pissed me off to no end as I don't like it smelling like a drug den. The smell really sticks and it's not pleasant.

What should I do to get them to be reasonable about their illegal **** and smoking in the house? They don't seem to care about when I complain anymore. At the moment I'd say I'm being quite reasonable when I talk to them about it. Should I just flip out?

edit: I know this topic may be questionable, if it is, just delete it I guess.

Flush their stuff when they're not around

I'm a dick. I'd give them a stern, formal talking-to (awkward roommate meeting style) and if it ever happened again I'd call the police. But...I'm a dick.

You're going to jail. You have the smell of weed on you.

Move? If you're out numbered by smokers you're not going to win.

Keep on stealing it all.



And give it to me,

Honestly you probably should have known better than to move in with smokers if you have a problem with smoke.

That said, I've been to a few houses where there's one "smoking room" and the idea is to keep the door to that room closed as much as possible, and it seems to work reasonably well. Not sure it'd work the other way around though.

Air fresheners?

Yeah, I can promise you it probably isn't going to improve. Just get used to it. Going outside for a joint is really irritating, you really want to chill in a nice, warm chair or something while you're blazing.

Or, you could suggest they get a vapouriser or a bong. Bongs certainly produce a lot less smoke and smell less. I've never used a vapouriser, but I think that should eliminate the smoke and odour from the house. If you designate a smoking room, and they stick to bongs or pipes, the smell will more or less stay in that room.

Or just start smoking, that would solve the problem.

This. Seriously.

I used to have a problem with smoking weed.

Now I'm not a straight-edge ****head anymore.

Tell them to buy a vaporizer and keep it down to one room, or at least use a ****ing spoof and just pack one hitters so you have no residual smoke coming off the bowl

They assured me it wouldn't be an issue before we moved in. Obviously I was wrong.

They're allowed to smoke in the conservatory, but they moved into the next closest room, the kitchen, and eventually the living room.

And now they're just doing it in their rooms. The whole house is starting to stink.

Why the hell did you move in with them then?

Because I believed them.

Yo, heed my advice for serious. The key to keeping things smelling nice is using a spoof for all smoke you are exhaling (it smells like fresh laundry!) and making sure they don't just leave bowls/joints rolling. Seriously, if they pack snap bowls, (which are bowls they can finish in one inhale), use a spoof, you will never smell it. I had a friend whose girlfriend really started to get pissed at the smell eminating from his room, we used the spoof and only packed snap bowls, and there is no smell, she couldn't tell.

But I mean, that's if they aren't going to stop. I would have a talking to with them. Really the only thing you care about is smell, so it would not be to demanding of you to just say "hey, if you guys are gonna smoke in here, this is what has to be done"

Wow, I think I know what you're talking about, but I've never heard it called a spoof before and that just made me laugh a little because it sounds kind of silly.

And yea, "spoofs" work. I used them when I shouldn't have been smoking cigs at work.

stoners

>.>

(call the cops! see what happens!)

I was tempted.

Spoof.. you talking about blowing the smoke through a paper towel roll with a dryer sheet on the end?

I never had a name for it, but I'm pretty sure that's what he means. He's talking about laundry and no smoke smell.
Either way, it made me laugh.

You agreed to move in with these guys on the condition that their smoking wouldn't become a problem for you. Obviously no one is going to enforce that as a contract term, but nevertheless the law is on your side. Tell them that you've considered calling the cops because of your behavior (there's no need to actually threaten to do it), and then tell them that if they want to enjoy their weed indoors, they need to do so in a way that doesn't stink up your house.

(But if it comes to the point that you actually have to call the cops, make sure you can't be charged as a party to their offense first.)

And check your states marijuana laws, more than likely they don't have much and all they will get is a citation so is it really worth it?

HAUL THEIR *** OFF TO JAIL

weeed in da HOUSE

I'm the UK so they're not exactly going to do much about it. A slap on the wrists is the most they'd probably get apart from a warning.

Profit from the situation. Steal small amounts of weed from their stash and sell it. Use the money to buy air fresheners.

Problem solved.

I think I'm just going to start stealing from their stash and just bin it (or throw it in the pond).

That way they'll run out quicker, and then just think they used it up. They constantly complain about how fast it goes anyway. They'll probably blame each other.

yeah then they come up short on their part of the rent...

Throw it away? SELL IT

How hard do they slap over there?

Don't want to get a rep for selling, they take dealers down pretty quick in Cambridge.

Uk laws aren't very harsh on weed, despite being class B.

Well just start selling it to your roommates then so the general public doesn't know.

Tell them if they don't respect you and your opinions they can get the hell out, and I am sure the police would agree.

I've grown, smoked, sold, etc my own stuff, pot head or not you have to respect others beliefs and tolerance. It's just ignorant to do something like that when you have specifically asked them. I share an apartment with my girlfriend, but if she told me she did not want me to grow my plants, I would stop in an instant. It's a split decision, not just one way.

If they're dicks, there's nothing you can do but threaten them unfortunately.. But that will put you on their bad side.. Quite frankly I am not sure if you should care about that though. It's what you want that matters and you had an agreement PREVIOUS to them smoking.

I say take it and flush it if they don't listen to you, other than that, call the cops. Problem is, you'll probably get in a little trouble for allowing it to go on in the first place UNTIL it started to bother you personally. The law will probably take at least that decision of yours into account.

One thing though..The smell of Marijuana is not THAT difficult to get rid of, depending.

Don't call the law unless you intend on moving out, because you won't want to be anywhere near them after you've done that.

Maybe consider loosening up a bit. Weed smell is nothing in comparison to cigarette smell. I know plenty of people who sit in circles of pot smokers who don't smoke themselves.

Weed smell also doesn't stick around like cigarrette smoke... You can smoke a bowl in your room and it will smell fine the next day.

Anyway, you should tell your friends they need to start smoking outside (at least cigs), or you'll move out. Don't bother calling the fuzz- I doubt they would even respond.

If they are absolutely adamant about smoking inside, there is something they can do to limit the smell. It's called a "Bounce blower". It's really simple to make, and it might help you in your situation. Just take a few bounce sheets and plug one end of an empty roll of toilet paper with them, and seal it off so they don't fall out. When they exhale smoke through it, it will limit the smell of Marijuana. That's another option for you if they refuse and you don't want to go the other routes

aka spoof/buffer/silencer

When I made mine I covered one end with a dryer sheet, duck taped it on, and stuff the tube full of more. Smelled pretty.

man i need some weed.
