You also don't see many homeless people driving, but I lost count of the times I've seen/smelled people smoking weed and driving. It's not just the homeless, not by a long shot. I've smelled it in multiple cities in areas where no homeless are around, and have witness normal everyday folks smoking it.
Fair. I don't see all that, but we apparently have very different experiences.

Start selling weed to your neighbors. Profit from the smell

Are you for or against legalization, cause that matters on levels of cares. If you are for it then live with what you want. If against it, then call the cops if not legal in your area.

I couldn’t imagine having a small child and having to deal with this. It would enrage me to have my kid exposed to this all the time.

Haven't read all 7 pages, but have you read through your lease? Most places don't allow smoking indoors. I know my old place had a clause that said they could evict if there was proof of illegal activity (drugs) and I know they did it at least once to a neighbor. I wasn't the rat, because I'm not a bitch like you, but I'm sure there's something in the lease. If not, grow a pair, light some candles and get over it.

I call bullshite.. weed smell doesn't linger for long periods, especially on clothing. Blunts can linger a little longer, due to the tobacco wrap.

Marijuana airs out fast AF in reality

Folks smoke weed in my apartment building and it’s coming through the walls that are shared between the apartment above me. Not just a little bit of smell, my entire apartment gets filled all day and night and now my clothes are starting to have lingering weed smell. Would putting a couple thick coats of shellac based smell blocking primer help reduce the issue? Trying to find a solution with my landlord and was thinking of offering this idea up before I started trying to find ways of getting out of the lease.


Rent a house. I haven’t lived in an apartment since I was 21 and I will never have someone living above me or sharing a wall with me again.

I’m in Dallas visiting family at an apartment and I think I’d rather live in my car after hearing the upstairs neighbors stomping around for 2 days.

How in the hell has everyone taken you seriously.

Literally no one has this issue.

But, if you do, have this issue, make more money and move.

Are you saying nobody has ever gone through a divorce and needed a temporary housing solution?

That is a very shitty apartment if you can smell it that much or even at all.

You may be able to create positive pressure conditions in your apartment. Im thinking your neighbor opens a window, puffs his doobies, and any wind gust into his apartment creates pressure, forcing it through openings in the wallboard.

It’s not likely actually coming through the walls themselves. It is likely coming through gaps in the walls, or the ceiling. Vents, light fixtures, electrical outlets, breaker box, smoke alarm, plumbing, cable connection, etc.

The walls probably aren’t insulated so it could travel down inside the walls and then finds a gap in the wall.

You might be able to detect a draft (air movement) if hold a candle near the above locations and watch to see if the flame starts dancing around. Don’t start a fire though. Could probably use smoke from incense or something. Doing this on a windy day may produce better results.

That would locate a possible entry point for the smoke smell. Sealing it off may be simple or impossible or anywhere in between.

Its the ventilation system my dude. Not gonna happen, you're fricked!
Throw dryer sheets in all of your vents and see if that helps out any

I agree, we'll smoke in my garage at night and without opening the door to air it out, there's no trace of smell the next morning.

My cousin in Houston was told to stop smoking or move from his apartment. Neighbors complained of weed smell.
