    You lot crack me up, it's a herb for !!!!!! , maybe you would rather they were drinking instead and urinating everywhere whilst vomiting , eating kebabs and drink driving? In fact if you report them for smoking a herb I sincerely hope they do turn to alcohol instead , that would be ok because its legal right?

    I've seen what cannabis can do to people. It's a mugs game.

    Plus why should anyone put up with the disgusting smell? It's not like I go up to people and breathe my alcohol breath in peoples faces on a night out, I'd get punched.

    The smell of cannabis is foul, and it lingers everywhere.

    Given there are hundreds of different types of cannabis, which all smell different it seems a bit of a sweeping statement to make.
    And users also drive whilst under its influence, throw up and urinate everywhere, eat kebabs etc

    I see a lot more people doing this with alcohol than with cannabis. What's your point?
    When i say a lot more, i mean hundreds more, if not thousands (i live in a busy city where people enjoying alcohol and violence it seems)
    The difference is alcohol is legal, cannabis is illegal.

    There are lots of other differences such as Alcohol is much more damaging, more addictive, is a large factor in violent crime and causes thousands of deaths each year. But you're right. Despite Cannabis not being as bad on the facts as alcohol it is still illegal.
    I've seen what cannabis can do to people. It's a mugs game.

    I've seen what alcohol can do to people. It's more of a mugs game.
    Plus why should anyone put up with the disgusting smell? It's not like I go up to people and breathe my alcohol breath in peoples faces on a night out, I'd get punched.

    My neighbours sometimes smoke tobacco with their windows open, or cook strong smelling foods that make me feel ill. Why should i put up with that?


    I'm not a regular user of either Tobacco, Cannabis or Alcohol before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion. I'm quite well versed on most of the facts surrounding the 3 drugs above though and a little less biased than most here it seems.

    This is what weed addicts do. They can't accept that it's intolerable to others, then go on to blame alcohol for 3rd world poverty.

    See, a mugs game.

    Goodness...

    I didn't realise people were still so brainwashed by the 70's Propaganda videos.

    If you disagree with the points and facts i've raised, it would be more constructive to address and respond to them as opposed to drawing false conclusions about the person presenting them like i already mentioned someone would

    I've never seen a 70's propaganda video on the dangers of weed. I also didn't call YOU a weed addict specifically, so ram your false conclusion where the sun don't shine ;)

    I have seen what weed can do to a person, first hand. I have formed opinions on the drug from those first hand experiences. I'm not going to go into those experiences, I don't have to.

    I am of the opinion that weed is a mug's game. It is also illegal, whether the pot heads here like it or not.

    So the OP should report them if it infringing on the enjoyment of their own garden. I'm sure you'd be calling the Fuzz if a bunch of lairy drunk blokes were stood at the end of your drive being loud preventing you from fully enjoying your petunias.

    It's someone else's fault.

    You need to speak to a local police officer immediately. Take notes, collate video and audio evidence and interview the youths believed to be perpetrating the trouble.


    Pass this evidence to your local bobby when he next calls and the matter will be dealt with swiftly.

    A herb. Like coriander but with added hallucinogens and THC..?
