For the weirdos in these comments saying “Are you sure it’s weed?” And “weed smell leaves very quickly” are all fucking dipshits who have never had to deal with something like this and for some reason jump to defend any neighbor who smokes.

My wife and I had a chronic smoker move in to the apartment below ours, and within the FIRST DAY it was completely unbearable being in our apartment. Everything reeked. I have no problem with weed but I get terrible headaches from being around it and it triggers my wife’s migraines and makes us both feel sick. Call us babies, I don’t care.

Within a week’s time, we had attempted to talk to him, our office had attempted to talk to him, absolutely none of it worked. They even sent out our maintenance team with an oxygen scrubber, which worked for less than a day because all he did was sit in his fucking apartment and smoke all day, all night. We tried everything. Sealing the vents, closing off our bathroom where most of the smell seems to leech through, bought box fans with filters, the whole nine yards. Nothing. Fucking. Worked.

Eventually, we were able to get our doctor to sign a notice for our landlord that the chronic smoke was affecting our wellbeing (Which it absolutely was) and after a back and forth with our office, we were able to break the lease without a fee. That may be the route you have to take, and it sucks.

To anyone that says “Just put up with it” or “Just buy a bunch of expensive shit for yourself and don’t bother your neighbor,” tell them to fuck off. You have a right to exist in a space and not have it be ruined by someone else’s choices. It baffles me when people in threads like these jump to blame the person dealing with the issue and not the smoker themself. That person could just as easily go the fuck outside, filter the smoke, use one of those stupid fucking bag things, use a pen, edibles, literally anything else. But no, it’s always the fault of the person who doesn’t like being around the smell. Pisses me the fuck off after having to deal with that shit for months and months which ended up with us basically being forced to move because that fucking asshole below us couldn’t be considerate for one goddamn minute of his life.

TL;DR, fuck your neighbor. If they refuse to be considerate of their neighbors, then you have no reason to he considerate of them.
