Can smell weed from the neighbours, will LO be ok?

[Jchihuahua]

My neighbours must be smoking weed or have guests over who are. I never usually smell it but tonight the smell is really powerful and I can smell it strongly in the bedroom where Daisy is sleeping. There is no smoke obviously, just the smell. What should I do? Will it be having an affect on her? Should I wake her and bring her downstairs until the smell has gone or leave her to sleep? I hope the smell goes away soon and this won't be a regular occurence .

Dont mean to sound like a bitch but youre worrying over nothing. She would need to be locked in a smokey room with no ventilation for the cannabis to affect her. Also tobacco smoke is more harmful for your child than that of cannabis.

I completely understand where you are coming from, I would really worry too I dont know what to suggest, I would probably bring her downstairs but thats me xxx

Harmless or not I wouldn't be happy with my baby sleeping in a room smelling of next doors weed!!!! It smells disgusting, I wouldn't sleep in a room stinking of it

I don't know if it is harmful but like I say, I wouldn't sleep with that smell in my room so I probs would move LO. If you get on with the neighbours ok I would probs give them a knock, say you can smell weed in LO room so IF it is them could you they do it inside/elsewhere. Hope you get it sorted Hun x

Strange that the smel seems to be stronger upstairs....not growing it in the attic are they!?

It's just that I lived about 10 doors and a road away from a dealer/grower and could smell it from my front door!

It is a worry to me though. She has never been exposed to any sort of smoke. I don't smoke at all and know nothing about cannabis and whether there would be fumes in the room if I can smell the smell of it.

I have brought her downstairs as I couldn't stop worrying about it. She is lying on the sofa next to me.

I hope the smell goes soon. When I was pregnant with my Daisy we lived in a flat and while having a bath I could smell it I really worried then so dread to think how I would be now with her being here. is it a one off or have you noticed it before? xxx

 

[Jchihuahua]

Thanks hun x. I noticed it a couple of times but before we had Daisy. There is a teenager who lives there so I am thinking maybe he has friends round and they are smoking it in his bedroom and that is why I can smell it in mine, as the rooms are joined together. I just hope the smell goes before we go to bed later.

It wouldnt hurt her or effect her but I understand you bringing her down stairs... I would probably still do the same lol

 

[sarahchops86]

It wouldnt affect her i think. But if it was me I'd go round and complain they are stinking your house out with the smell!

 

[Janidog]

I would have done the same as you hun x

I hate the smell of weed, i think it smells disgusting and if anyone smoked it around my LO i would be having a few choice words, but thankfully none of my friends smoke it.

Do you think you could just mention to your neighbour about having to move your LO downstairs while they are smoking it? Maybe he will smoke it elsewhere

 

[Jchihuahua]

Yes, I will speak to his dad when I see him tomorrow. I feel sorry for Daisy. She was fast asleep and all cosy in her cot and is now squished up with me on a little sofa, she can't be sleeping very comfortably.

I live in a flat and had same prob before lo was born and just after we had him. I knew the flat was rented and rang the agents who had a word. It stopped after 3 phone calls to complain. What made me even angrier was the couple had a baby a month older than my lo! I think you are right to worry,it can't be healthy aand its certainly not pleasant

 

[redpoppy]

It won't harm her or affect her. There has been research on the subject although most of it isn't publicised. I know as I was researching a possible documentary a few years ago about cannabis use in certain communities and cultures. Having said that, the tobacco mixed in with the cannabis is probably quite harmful though I SERIOUSLY doubt there'd be enough to harm her AT ALL. But I can TOTALLY see why you're worried.

This is the second case of smoke smell going through a neighbours wall that I've heard of today! I never knew smoke was soooo strong!

Considering the pollution in many cities and the carbon monoxide which increases during a car journey it's really nothing to worry about.

 

[kiwimama]

I'd close the door of your bedroom and open all the windows to try and air the smell before you go to bed. I know I wouldn't like to sleep with that smell around me so can't imagine a baby would want to.

Im sorry if i turn this in to a debate about the harmful use of smoking dope, but having family who work with mental health patients its brings it home to you. The people i have known in the past that have smoked dope seemed to have all turned in to no hopers or have issues, so it isn't comparable to pollution produced by cars.

I understand the smell is probably quite off putting to you as a non-weed smoker. But let me just say that those who do smoke it can be quite passionate about it's "safety" If it's not a usual occurrence I would try to let it go this time. If you talk to your neighbors it may make things uncomfortable.

I would have brought her downstairs as well hun. Whether it's actually harmful or not is one thing - it's just not very pleasant for her!

But I'd rather that than my baby be uncomfortable x
