Moved three times to get away from Weed fumes, and now it's happening again

While I am not denying that this has a deleterious effect on you, the facts are that no one can guarantee you will ever live somewhere where no one smokes weed, or help you with your problem short of you wearing an airflow mask which constantly supplies air washed of odours. Perhaps replace the odour with a lot of air freshener. Mask it, or move somewhere where it's not going to happen. As already observed, no one can help you here.

How about a camper van? Then you can move on if you smell weed.

Or a boat?

No. I have got it. Move to the moon.

There are a few free harbours in the country, where you can moor without paying fees. 

I did vaguely think how nice it would be to have a house boat as a holiday home in the summer.

Smelling drugs constantly, in my personal living space, would have a negative impact on my sense of wellbeing too, OP. And the smell of weed is particularly pervasive and strong. It may be that when lockdown is loosened and people start returning to work that your neighbours will stop smoking as much or at all? I suspect a fair amount of people are turning to booze and drugs as coping mechanisms during the current crisis. Hopefully this will be temporary for you. If not, perhaps if funds and logistics allow, your next move could be to the top floor of a detached house in a leafy suburb, if not the countryside? Less population density hopefully meaning fewer people with grating habits living in top of each other. Good luck.

The trouble is, one ends up caring for its bottom in winter every few years.

People shouldn't imagine the countryside is devoid of irritants in the atmosphere. Contract farming means the use of chemical sprays is rife and at this time of year pollen is giving some people a hard time. Oh, don't forget the muck-spreading, which has just finished, and the silage stink. Lovely!

I actually quite like the smell of that...it reminds me of going to Italy as a child because my auntie lived next door to a cow farm.

OP, is it the smell of it being smoked that is the problem? I don't really notice it being smoked but the smell of it in a deal or when growing is really strong to the extent of it irritating me enough to want to leave the area. A flat partially below mine grows with the smell coming through the floor. I've sealed the gaps between the skirting and floor which has stopped the smell. Could draft proofing your home work? A pyromaniac neighbour regularly has fires, shutting the windows stops the smell in my home.

Don't do it! 

We have had a boat for the last 13 years. It is a money pit. Don't get me wrong we have had some lovely times on it but the cost of keeping and maintaining it is stupid. We had a sale agreed in it a the point Coronavirus struck the UK. Unfortunately the buyer had to pull out due to closing his business down so we are now stuck with a boat out of the water ashore that we can't do !!!!!! all with right now.

Think we have come to the conclusion we will keep it another couple of years now until this has all blown over and we are in with a fighting chance of getting a buyer again!

I've seen people complain about the smell of smoke, both legal and illegal a few times on here and elsewhere.
Your's would seem to be the answer.
Stop the smell getting in rather than trying to get away from it.
I'm lucky enough to live in a rural place, but I smell people walking past in the lane smoking cigarettes. Can be surprisingly strong sometimes. Someone else has really stinking fires sometimes, and as Davesnave says above there are various agricultural smells including occasional spray, which I dislike a lot more than I would weed smoke.
We all have to live in the world, and moving away every time something annoys us, knowing that the same problem will most likely turn up at the new place would seem to me to be a poor option.
