    Erm, that's a bit of an unfair generalisation.

    So who ARE they thinking of when they smoke vile smelling drugs?
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)

    I like a bit of hash in a cookie once in a blue moon. I hardly think that makes me selfish.

    I think if it's medicinal then it's allowed but doesn't sound like this would be so it is a drug pure and simple and if I am not mistaken the classification on it was changed.

    I suppose unless they see them actually smoking it they 'wouldn't want the paperwork'

    I said smoke, hardly the same is it?

    Maybe that they feel great as their Arthritis isn't giving them pain?

    You made a gross generalisation there, do you indulge in alcohol? You know that's a drug too just as paracetomol.

    Well, by that logic, everyone who sometimes does something for their own pleasure is inherently selfish. Who ARE they thinking of when they smoke cigarettes, drink wine, eat chocolate, watch TV, get a takeaway, go to the gym, cook stinky foods like fish curry etc.

    People who smoke cannabis, or take any other drug, are inherently selfish anyway so I wouldn't expect them to consider the fact that you have a baby on the way.

    So which is it?

    So me taking paracetomol affects others how? How does me having a glass of wine affect anyone...it doesn't.

    The point i'm making is that the next door neighbour knows that by them smoking cannabis it's affecting the OP, she has told them she finds the smell disgusting and it's affecting her house. They choose not to do anything to help....that's selfish is it not?

    Maybe if the Class system was a truer reflection of the danger of these drugs maybe such reactions would not be prevalent. Alcohol ie the acceptable drug so it's seems is far more dangerous to the user and those around than cannabis which if legalised coud potentially mske msny people in chronic pain lives far easier.

    You have missed the point both times, well-done.

    I said "smoke" there are other drugs that can be smoked.....not just cannabis!
