Before you become the neighborhood snitch, try talking. Just knock and say, “Hey, could you use a fan? The smell is hitting my bedroom.” Most stoners are chill. They’ll probably apologize and offer you a brownie.
If that fails, buy an air purifier. Or move. Or embrace the smell—some people say it cures anxiety. Fun fact: A 2026 survey found that 30% of people who reported their neighbors for weed were later caught smoking themselves. Karma smells like irony.
Will The Police Do Anything About My Neighbors Smoking Weed?
When to Actually Call
Only call the cops if the neighbor is abusing kids or driving a car. Smoke alone? Not a 911 emergency. Use the non-emergency line, and be ready for a bored officer to say, “Ma’am, this is a pizza place.”
Also, check your local laws for “smoke trespass.” If their cloud drifts into your window while you’re trying to read, that might be a civil issue. Suing for weed smell? That’s a new level of neighborly pettiness. I love it.
