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

[Eve]

My OH smokes it and will be working to support our family ALONE so I can be home longer with LO and works harder than most men I know... he has worked 28 days straight... we aren't on 'benefits' or anything and own a nice, modern, renovated home on a very desireable street I say this because I know not all 'dope' smokers and losers with no motivation. These people might not even know its going through into your lo's room...

What I did once, when I lived in an apartment, just my son and I was simply ask them to let me know when they were going out on their balcony above mine so I could shut my windowsto prevent it from stinking up my place. Nothing wrong with them smoking it, hell could be my doctor for crying out loud... but I woud rather not have smelled it. They were real nice about it and we didn't have any problems at all. No big deal.

I also wouldn't worry about your LO being uncomfortable.. not like she would notice much. I passed a really icky toot many times while holding my LO and she didn't even flinch and IMO that smelled way worse than a little marijuana.

By the way.... my OH doesn't smoke it in our house or in front of the kids or while he is caring for the kids... only when they are in bed or I'm with them to care for them.

It says in your sig that you co-sleep. So your oh sleeps in the same bed as your child after smoking cannibis? Im shocked at some of the replies! Ive seen you people come down harder on ciggerette smokers!

He smokes cigs too and I did co sleep... I DID, not him. I wouldn't allow him in our bed with her because of the toxins in CIGARETTES hun, so maybe you should check yourself and know me on a higher level before you go and pass your judgements! All I was trying to say is not all people who smoke marijuana are lazy etc... or bad people. I'm not attacking anyone at all. I even explained what I did once as people above me years ago were smoking it etc... my gosh!

Just curious as what you mean by "you people" as well? I find your post very offensive.

I'm just wondering what I would have said in my first post that offended you? Please let me know so I could apologize as it wasn't meant to offend anyone, I was just saying my OH works hard for our money and smokes marijuana... he is a good man etc... I didn't put anyone down at all. I'm not against marijuana, but I don't do it myself... I don't smoke either, but I'm not against it... I said nothing to you, or about you in my first post. I felt the need to defend myself and " my people" in the second post as I felt attacked for my parenting choices and what my OH does...

 

[jess_smurf]

i am sorry but my ex OH used to smoke it and he is well off very well off, but it destroys lives and relationships it may not be showing now but at some point it becomes an issue, i wouldnt have him/ drugs in the house witha child around

not a dig at you, but they (users) make excuse after excuse and you always get the same defensive comments about it and try to deflect to alcohol, yet i wouldnt have an alcoholic in my life either

its not good for anyone trust me !!! they make it so strong now

 

[cleckner04]

Out of curiosity, is it legal to smoke weed in the UK? Bc, if it's illegal, I would've simply called the police and let them deal with it. But I would've also moved my LO out of the room(s) that smelled like it. Better safe than sorry IMO.

Also wanted to add, I truly hope your neighbors don't make it a regular thing. That'd be a bit much to deal with.

 

[JASMAK]

If you can smell it, then she can smell it, which means it is entering her lungs. Those who smoke pot have a higher chance of developing pychzophrenia (spelling?) so, I wouldn't like that either. I would go knock and ask them to cut it out. You could also make a complaint with the police as it is illegal, at least here. I hate it when people think it's ok to share their drug problems and bad habits. it is dirty and disgusting.

What are the physical health risks of cannabis use?
Effects of smoke on lungs
Chronic heavy use of cannabis impairs the functioning of the large airways and often causes bronchial symptoms including increased sputum, wheezing, and chronic cough. In addition, many chronic users also tend to be heavy tobacco users. There is evidence that cannabis users have an increased risk of developing head and neck cancers.
Immune system effects
Cannabis smoke is potentially carcinogenic in the same way that cigarette smoke is. Cannabis smoke contains over 400 chemicals, many of them carcinogenic. There is evidence that the non-cannabinoid components of cannabis smoke may impair the alveolar macrophages in the lungs that are significant to the body’s defense system.
Pregnancy
Cannabis use during pregnancy may impair fetal development. It has been identified as a factor in low birth weight. This may be attributable to fetal hypoxia in a way that is similar to tobacco use. The chemicals in cannabis are readily transferred across the placental barrier.
There is also evidence that infants exposed to cannabis in utero experience behavioural and developmental effects during the first few months of life and later in childhood.

Oh like I said, I don't do it. I did when I was younger, lol... but not since high school. I do believe it can cause serious harm, some people lose all motivation and respect for people, it can be a gateway drug etc... but it isn't that way for everyone. My OH and I have been together happily for 6 years and have a very loving, honest, open, strong relationship He doesn't smoke it 10 times a day, and sometimes goes weeks without it... but he will do it and I personally don't see anything wrong with him doing it. He is also a great daddy who helps me with everything and anything. He would come home, cook, clean and take care of the kids (all in an awesome mother like way) so I could sleep if I wanted. He isn't perfect but he is pretty darn close to it and I know in our relationship it wouldn't be the marijuana that ended it, if it did ever end, which I doubt since we have made it through one of the toughest times we will ever face and came out stronger than ever. He would also quit if I asked him to...but I don't feel it's my place to tell him what he can and can't do, since it isn't effecting our lives in a negative way, or hurting anyone

It won't become an issue with us (not saying it wouldn't with others) but I don't care... it isn't around my children, not even kept in our home, like I said if he does it, he isn't the ones dealing with the children and they are in bed. He won't handle our LO at all when he smokes it... and he is okay with it and doesn't become defensive at all. I would much rather see him smoke the occasional joint than cigs (because of the toxins) or drink, or abuse me or my children, or be an absent father, etc... I don't complain about him very much... I have a good one

I know other people who smoke it too, but not around their children... and I know some people who think its fine to smoke it around children. I dont think children should be exposed to it, but I don't believe it should be looked at so negatively. It does have benefits and I believe when not around children and in moderation it's not terrible. Again, I don't/wouldn't do it, but that's just me and I don't/wouldn't judge someone for doing it on occasion and safely without children around etc... It just depends. Everyone has their own opinions on things like this, which is understandable.. I have my own things I feel very strongly about which other might find wrong/bad/weird/ etc... lol To each their own.

Oh yes, Chronic heavy use of it could for sure do that mentioned above and more. I'm not saying it's a great thing to do, I don't think it's even a good thing... but when done in moderation and not around children I just don't see anything wrong with it...

My OH doesn't do it all the time, like I mentioned above... he doesn't have a chronic cough or anything Hell he has been sick maybe 2 times the most in 6 years. Because he is a smoker, he isn't in the best shape by no means, but he isn't poorly either. I think any use while pregnant should be avoided... it's just not safe... I have an old friend who did with both her children and are so far healthy, thank god... but she is a lucky one! Just as I think its a risk even having one drink while pregnant... etc...

I wonder if there are any studies on occasional use...?

I wouldn't call the police though, simply because she has to live next to them and if it is the first time it has been done it would make for bad neighbors. I think it would be better to talk with them if it happens again. Like I said before, I had people above me smoking it on their balcony and it would blow down into my apartment.. so I just asked them to let me know so I could close my windows as I didn't want my house to smell of it. They did without any problems My neighbors weren't intentionally smoking it to go into my apartment and I didn't have any other complaints about them It depends on the people. I had neighbors before that if I would have called police on them, they would have probably kicked in my door and my face... some people you don't want angry with you. If they do it all the time and are constantly being disruptive maybe speak to the landlord if in a rental or if you feel unsafe call the police for sure.

To the OP... Like I said, I would have taken my LO out of the room too.. and wouldn't like it much but to ease your mind, just the smell of it around going through the air like that wouldn't cause harm to your LO so don't worry.

 

[JASMAK]

I would call the police. I work for the police, and someone can't threaten you...that is also illegal, but, it can all be done anonymously too. It is illegal here, so I would call the police, just like if I saw someone with a gun.

 

[BlackBerry25]

I wouldn't call the police over weed. Personally, I don't think it is a big deal and I agree with the other poster who's OH smokes it. Obviously not going to post anything that could put my family at risk of the police being called, but the smell is not going to harm a baby. I would go mention it to the neighbor to please put a towel along the bottom of their door. My opinion. Even leave a note if its easier than face to face.

I just think calling the police would be a bit harsh as the OP said she never usually smells it... so for maybe a one time incident she could be making bad neighbors. I know for me personally if someone were to call the police on my OH for smoking a joint outside in our yard because they could smell it once without talking to him first I would be upset...

A gun is different, as they could cause serious harm to someone, and I would contact the police if I seen someone with a gun not used for hunting or something... since well, hunting season just ended here for Moose and if my neighbor was a hunter, I would have ended up seeing him with a gun. I personally don't own them, and don't have them in our house. OH owns one and it's safe in the proper locked cabinet at my bro's house with no kids.

Thank you

A towel along the bottom of the door would be a good idea if in apartments When I was younger I knew of people who did that and it blocked a lot of the smell from escaping into the hallway. A nice little note would be good too!

To be fair, it's legal in Canada to smoke weed correct? I just know back home when you want to have some fun and get high, Canada is the place people go. So the views on this are going to vary wildly.

 

[xbabybumpx]

in my eyes drugs are a big deal,be it weed or not. I think alot of people in here are totaly in deniel about the affects of weed. I dont care if you smoke it once a day,Month or year. And as for people that say the baby would be fine if she could smell it,dont even get me started. I would absolutely phone the police as things like this arent usually a one off

No it's not legal. You will not get charged (usually) for having some for just you, but if you have enough to sell, or are growing, or selling...then you will get charged. It is NOT legal in Canada. That is a myth. I guess the difference here is that I do work for a place where I probably wouldn't if I agreed with that behaviour.

Here is a quote regarding Canada's law on it:

Cannabis is a sticky issue. Fluctuating severity of enforcement, constant political babble, and increasing social acceptability have many Canadians confused as to what can happen when they light up.

Prohibition

“The current laws in Canada are prohibition,” explains Larsen, who is one of Canada’s most active drug policy reform advocates. “The only real change recently has been that medical marijuana has opened up quite a bit. About 2,000 Canadians now have permission to grow and possess marijuana for medicinal uses.”

The use of marijuana for recreational use, however, is a different story.

According to the RCMP, currently possession under 30 grams of marijuana in most circumstances is known as a “summary conviction offense,” meaning, no criminal record, fingerprints, or jail time; all of which is subject to the discretion of a judge.

More severe penalties can be prescribed for amounts over 30 grams, or if possession is enhanced by the presence of significant amounts of cash, individually-packaged “dime bags,” scales, or lists of money owed: this charge is known as possession for the purpose of trafficking and carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison.

No mandatory minimum sentences currently exist in Canada for drug offenses.
