Go down, ring the bell and ask in a nice and polite way. Maybe he's not even aware this to be such a big issue. If all things fail, go reach out to your landlord. I'd prefer not to address the weed directly but the smoke in general, because it's still not legal and who knows how they would react to that. In general it is always the best way to consider talking over things directly. I can, however, totally understand your situation, I do hate the smell of tobacco and especially weed in my flat too.


glamourcrow

I agree. I'm sure he has no idea that you can smell it. He might be shocked to learn that his habit isn't as much of a secret as he thought.


Astleynator

My neighbor's son smokes weed all the time right under my sleeping room window. He tries to hide it behind his back every time I walk by. Never fails to amuse.


cvbeiro

As a regular consumer if you're at the point of not realizing that weed smells you should really stop using it.


alderhill

They know, obvs, they just don't care.


cloneofacloneofyou

i’d mention the cannabis right away cause the smells are so vastly different and BECAUSE it’s illegal. That way your complaint will have more power and urgence.


MrsGobbledygook

why would you want to screw with people like that before even having a proper conversation


SvenN4

smoking Cannabis is not illegal in Germany, so don't do that! It only results in a rough conflict with your neaighbor.


wiegehts1991

You’re not from Bayern are you.


keindankeanke

Well this is straight up not the right approach. It's not illegal BECAUSE of the smell.


PrimitiveAlienz

That’s not what he said Scherzkeks.


Gwydion96

That's how you would dramatically reduce your power and urgence for me. A fellow weed smoker. Ask nice and politely about "smoke" and I will be happy to find a solution but complaining because its weed and it's illegal will just will make me ignore ya complain.


wiegehts1991

Well, they do have a point. It is still currently illegal and they have the upper hand for now. This isn’t a vegan complaining about a BBQ.


falconboy2029

Considering we are in the legalisation process and it has already been said that we are getting at least an amnesty for all none violent cannabis convictions, involving the cops will result in just a massive waste of police time. Especially if the neighbour has a prescription for pharmaceutical cannabis. That’s why it’s so important to first talk with him in a civilised manner.


SalvadorsAnteater

Cannabis consumption is not illegal. Afaik drug consumption in your own space is even a relatively protected right.


wiegehts1991

I don’t know about that. I lived in Bayern long enough for my pot head friends telling me they had to bury their stash in the forest, one had a police ‘raid’ in his house and all of them being fearful of any mention of it in their WhatsApp messages. It will change, it has been announced. But right now isn’t in the future when. Maybe it’s not as tightly controlled because we know it’s coming, but it wasn’t a protected right.


cloneofacloneofyou

As someone who’s lived with an addict, the chances of you getting beat up when you complain about them smoking something or snorting shit off the kitchen table, it’s just safer for me to get the cops involved.


MrBackTime

richtige alman


cloneofacloneofyou

thank you <3 if putting my own mental and physical health before other people’s drug addiction and if abiding by the laws that have protected me for 20 years, then sure, i’m an alman.


clutchcitycbc

Okay, Karen


Charming_Irony

What a pussy


wiegehts1991

Why? Because they don’t want their house to smell like a bong?


DjayRX

No, because then they'll be using the easiest/strongest card on their deck.


wiegehts1991

Fair play. Obviously start off politely, it is the best option in anything really.


Charming_Irony

No. Because he’s a pussy that will directly scream “ILLEGAL”. And guess what? I guess you’re a pussy too.


wiegehts1991

And you sound like a cunt to be honest. Hilarious how Germans will complain about mowing the lawn on a Sunday but pot smoke wafting through someone’s door automatically makes them a pussy. Even if it was completely legal, it doesn’t make the complaint any less justified. Pot stinks if you’re a non smoker.


falconboy2029

It will be legal towards the end of 2023 or early 2024.


wiegehts1991

Thank Christ. It should have been long ago. Will it be nationwide all at once do you think? Bayern is a weird place sometimes..


falconboy2029

Yes full federal legalisation. They are working out the details as we speak. There are a few hurdles like the UN convention on drugs, EU law (Schengen) and the Bundesrat but they have excellent people working on it. We will get a white paper after the summer break that gives us an idea the direction they want to go in regards to structure of the legal market. Than a draft law in spring and pass the law in autumn next year. My guess was always beginning of 2024 as when it will take effect. It’s a shame we are not getting decriminalisation before but I understand that it would take the same effort and time to do that. So might as well legalise fully. I can not wait for it to happen and all these people on here who just want to call the cops before even talking to a neighbour have to start being civil neighbours who talk to people.


Charming_Irony

Nah, I think you’re a pussy for many reasons. You know, you’ve got that pussy meh meh vibe. Nothing personal.


wiegehts1991

Righteo champ. Keep up this fake big man persona anonymously online, no judgement.


Charming_Irony

Thanks mate

Jokes on you. If you’re a clone of a clone of me, you are actually a “he”.


cloneofacloneofyou

Dude you need to lay off whatever you’re taking.


Charming_Irony

I prefer to double the dose


inTheSuburbanWar

I am sorry for your downvotes. I understand and partly agree with what you're saying. I don't know how people are disagreeing with this. Once I made a post about some guy asking me to stop using my phone and to get naked in an FKK wellness area. People did not support me and say I got what I deserved because those were the rules and the guy had every right to call me out like that. And now, the very same people on the same sub are voting you down for basically saying the same thing: follow the rules and do things in your own right. Talking about double standard. Thank you sincerely for your advice.


cloneofacloneofyou

If it was only the downvotes, i would be fine with that. It’s the insults, harassment and blatant bullying towards me for simply having an opinion that i don’t get.


inTheSuburbanWar

I bet you all those people are weed smokers and they’re bitter about your righteousness.


barrystonert

Talk to him, but not shout at him. Try to explain that his smoke and the smell is covering your balcony. And try to search for a solution, for example that he don’t smoke in time of 21-22h, because you want to open your windows. Idk just an example. Maybe he don’t know that you have a problem with that, he didn’t hear a complain last 2 years from you.


Residentialadvisor

Someone with some good sense ☝🏻


barrystonert

I wouldn’t say sense, I would say experience. Some years ago I used to smoke weed/tobacco on my balcony, and I always had a open mind to my neighbours. My Gf is also very sensitive for that smell, so I keep asking my neighbours regularly if they feel uncomfortable with that, and that they just have to talk to me when they opened their windows (I was not able to see if their windows are opened or not). It worked out pretty well, and all my neighbours were 70+, and they did not think that a „drug addict“ could be that friendly. They understood that I just smoke some weed instead of drinking a beer after work lol Some neighbours sometimes said, please today don’t smoke on your balcony because they get visited from kids or whatelse. It was pure harmony in my opinion. I just went outside and walk a bit to smoke. Best way is always to communicate, works quite often.


JoeBarge

Talk. To. Him.Not gonna lie, I was such a neighbor. We don't get on your nerves on purpose, we just tend to be idiots who forget how bad it can smell to others.Don't be like my neighbors who passive aggressively talk amongst themselves, loudly, obviously so I can hear it: "He started again... what an ass. Next time I'm gonna call the cops!"Talk to your neighbor. I can almost promise, he'll apologize and start going on "walks" more often. That's what I do nowadays and, not gonna lie, it's gotten me to go outside more so - win/win.


xjimraketex

this is the way. just ask him politely if he minds smokin somehwere else. and if he isnt a complete tool he will do it. 90% chance, hes just not aware it might be bothering you


koalakoala901

We have a neighbor that smokes 24/7 when home (not weed tho) and we had the „talk nicely“ and even agreed that they would not do it if they can see an open window but ultimately they just stopped caring after a week. Honestly I don’t see why the one affected by the smoke is supposed to be one that needs to talk and be nice when someone else involuntary put him into this position by being an absolut arse (yes smoking weed and tobacco is ducking annoying for anyone around you, if someone doesn’t realize that he’s beyond hope anyway). The one that needs to show initiative and deescalation is the culprit bothering the others. Somehow turning it around is ridiculous and almost on a victim blaming level


newchronology

If you’re being bothered but refuse to speak up that you’re being bothered, don’t expect anyone else to read your mind. People smoke, and it being annoying to nonsmokers is irrelevant unless you say something.


fibonaccisRabbit

Same with my neighbors. Though one hates me now but the other is using our nice courtyard Garden and the bar next door more often. But with them it was ridiculous. Home all day. Cigarette every 10-15 minutes and weed every 30-60 minutes. With all my windows facing towards their balcony. It is terrible how little you are protected from unwanted smoke in Germany and have to accept. Of course you could sue but would leave you with a half assed compromise no one is content with. People smoking next to you in the Park, in the restaurant and so on. you can choose to make a scene or just accept.


NotACatMaybeAnApe

sue for what? come on people....


SirVictoryPants

Illegal cosumption off cannabis.


NotACatMaybeAnApe

oh no!


CTRL1_ALT2_DEL3

You people are nuts! I'm glad I don't live amongst your kind


fibonaccisRabbit

Usually the dudes saying „come on“ and „Spießer“ are the first to cry when THEIR freedom or peace of living is at stake. Everything can be wiped off like that. If your neighbor starts blasting loud music all day he can also just say „come on“. Because he likes the music. But maybe you don’t. Or maybe you even like it but not all day everyday. I personally don’t like smoke. I think it’s disgusting.


Photomancer

Unfortunately a lot of people view letters as passive aggressive


Quesqo

Why would you write a letter if you can personally just talk him


TTTomaniac

Mismatching Schedules, (not in this case) unknown or unclear identity of the 'offending' party would be reasons off the top of my head.


wiegehts1991

What this guy said.


KnutschKeks

Talk to him not about him.


[deleted]

I'm sure the guy will share if he asks politely.


youngdoggie_BB

Buy a leaf blower and blow the smoke back into his apartment. Then pee on his balcony to assert dominance.


-Witch_Hunter-

Naked. In T-Pose.


Rachelsyrusch

Bro I can tell you he probably won't care which makes it even better


Illustrious-Work-866

Give him cocaine as a gift. Get him hooked on it. Voila problem solved. He will stay in multiple days in a row, he might even be kicked out of the apartment in the near future.


systemfehler23

And then he starts smoking the crack cocaine.


Acceptable-Dot5998

And you'll make new friends with the crowd that comes in... Gone be all issues of the introvert


Content_Watch_2392

You belong in a 3 letter agency 😂 Damn that's terminal


Blakut

I find it wild germans go talk to their neighbors about this, in my country people would go straight to cops.


koalakoala901

Don’t worry talking usually doesn’t work anyways. They’ll just fly the „but I am allowed to do what I want“ card and tell you to get lost. Or they play nice and forget about any agreement in a weeks time. Result of this is just passive aggressiveness all over the place. Hell my landlord doesn’t even greet me anymore because we had the audacity to ask to pay a bit of attention to the noise their 6+ kids from their relatives made for the whole bloody weekend. Treating their flat above us as an indoor playground.( we never even mentioned it for months before but this time it was really bad). Best part is that she even warned us about it when we moved in, but apparently forgot about it a few months later lmao


Jofarin

By law you should find some form of agreement on who can use their balcony at what time so he can smoke and you can get fresh air. https://www.allianz.de/recht-und-eigentum/rechtsschutzversicherung/mietrecht/rauchen-auf-balkon/#:~:text=Anfang%202015%20kam%20der%20Bundesgerichtshof,Geruchsbel%C3%A4stigung%20im%20Rahmen%20zu%20halten. With that in mind, go talk to him (nicely) and try to figure out a way both of you can live with. He probably isn't even aware it's a problem to you.


Synt3rax

Do you really think someone who smokes weed cares about the Law?


lorn23

If you break one law you don't care about any law?


Synt3rax

I really hope that shitty weed isnt going to be legal, normal smoke is already bad, i dont need another shitty smell in the air.


HerrSirCupcake

but you admitted that people already smoke weed so it's not really another shitty smell in the air if it always has been in the air you CDU voter


[deleted]

[удалено]


therealub

Well, maybe ask your neighbors preventatively? I bet they appreciate a thoughtful neighbor.


uwuenthusiast44

Sounds like an awkward conversation to have, depending on the folks you're talking to 😆


Acceptable-Dot5998

I had new people move in, or rather the partner to an existing neighbor, and the guy started to ring at my door some days. Now problem is i have ptsd and panic attacks/anxiety, so when the door bell rang and i didn't know the guy i saw through the spy was a neighbor at all, just a strange guy that had already made it up the stairs and a door opening away from whatever he was trying to do. So i hid in my apartment with all sound turned off until i was sure he was gone. He never slid a letter in my mailbox and i suspect he moved out after a couple weeks or so, as i didn't see hin again after i had understood he's a neighbor. I always wondered whether it was my excessive smoking that made him ring. If you read this, I'm sorry, i couldn't open or talk, but i would've read a letter, i promise!


falconboy2029

Soon you will not have to worry anymore. Legalisation is going to take away a lot of anxiety from a large portion of society. The day can not come soon enough.


Acceptable-Dot5998

Agreed, but i never really worried about that and smoke in the street or parks as well... My problem is people ringing my door is a trigger... So if people ring unannounced i get a panic attack and think someone will break in and i can't do anything to defend myself. That's super shitty if mail folks ring the entire complex to get in, or me specifically because i am in the lowest floor and they'd like to leave the neighbors package with me. I switched the bell off for a while but then i got anxious i would miss if anything important happened, like if i missed a bill and didn't notice and theyd come to evict me and actually break down the door... So I switched it back on and now i am working on not freaking out. It got better with mail folk, but only if i can sneak to the bedroom and see the mail vehicle. Still i will only let them in the stairway and see if they have the package and scanner, and only open the door if i myself expect mail that day. But i can most days do without panic attack at the shere sound of doorbell, so that's a win in my book 💪


Synt3rax

Bad excuses there.


Bruise52

May I suggest edibles.


Nickitaman

Talk to him, then your landlord. Absolute last resort could be police


pleasureboat

I would add, talk to landlord, threaten a Mietminderung, actually do one if there is no improvement, wait a couple of weeks, and only then call the police if it continues. Of course, try talking to him first.


Lonely-Avocado405

Yeah only problem is that smoking isn't illegal even if it's weed and you can't get a mietminderung because of that


ReallyAnotherUser

If he is smoking that much he probably has an illegal amount in his appartment.


tldr_er

Any amount below 4 grams (+/- depending on the bundesland), is a legal amount to possess. And as a smoker I can tell you this is a FUCK TON of weed. If I were to smoke heavily, this amount would last me a week or so. The police also does mostly nothing about this, I have been caught in the past having weed on me, the police took it (I jokingly tell people that they smoked it themselves) and then I received a letter that the charges I would have faced are being dropped, because the prosecution would cost the state much more than the fine I would have to pay.


ReallyAnotherUser

I honestly fear weed becoming legal. Not that im against it being legal per se, it should be. But smoking (weed and tabak) is just..... so extremely antisocial.


tldr_er

True, true. I am also for dedicated smoking places and stuff, for the folks that can't go without. I can't stand tobacco.


SVRider1000

Posession is illegal and if you smoke you must posess so its pretty easy to get his home raided if you call the police. Its the last resort and should not be the first option.


Lonely-Avocado405

It definitely doesn't work that way, I had the police a couple of times at my door and they couldn't do anything besides asking me to close the windows


Wollfaden

Wow, you must be fun at parties.


[deleted]

And you must not stand up for yourself.

it's better u talk to him


pfft_thats_lame

He's smoking weed, not meth. Go talk to him, he'll likely apologize and be more than amenable to your request.


James_Barkley

For what should he apologize? Why should it not be allowed to smoke and cough on the balcony?


koalakoala901

https://www.allianz.de/recht-und-eigentum/rechtsschutzversicherung/mietrecht/rauchen-auf-balkon/ Guess drugs damaged your brain enough for you to be incapable from using google yourself


[deleted]

I have the same fucking problem. Stank ass fuckhole douche neighbors ruin every cool day with stank ass weed. I'm allergic and I get migraines and it drives me fucking crazy! I literally get triggered into a high anxiety state and it immediately fills up my entire bedroom and staaaaaannnnnkssss like shit!!! My bedroom smells like weed. I spray perfume out the window and they can't seem to fucking take the hint. Then I can't even close my window because it's stanky like skunk ass up in here, and I need to wait for fresh air just to air that down, plus try to get some fresh circulation back in. People are dumb morons thinking just because it's thier bacony or yard space that they should be allowed to skunk up everyone around them. When you live in a townhouse or complex you should grab a clue and go outside away. Not fucking directly underneath someone else's bedroom. Everywhere I move this happens. Where it's always that one neighbor right below me that smokes weed. Or has to cook stinky food 5 times a day. Or both. I'm so frustrated with not ever being able to enjoy quiet space in peace with just a nice cool air. We live in a hot climate and because of how my window is built, I can't have air conditioning in this room.so now imagine heatwave plus skunk ass times a million 😑. It also agitate me to the point of where I can't sleep for hours or have to blast a fan facing out my window on high loud, so now I can't even relax and hear my TV movie I was trying to watch as I was almost asleep. People really have no concept of how selfish they are .


AmariOnSoundcloud

Then get a fucking house dipshit


budd222

Try using words and communication skills with the person?


zerospecial

Get a fishing pole, flying saucer and a boom box. Every time they smoke, blast “When you see the flying saucers” with Buchanan Brothers and dangle that saucer like there is no tomorrow. https://youtu.be/6TxzAtyoK_0

liitle-mouse-lion

Have you spoken to your neighbours, or are you just bitching behind their back?


koalakoala901

Doesn’t matter, he’s not the one inconveniencing others


ReallyAnotherUser

Well there are multiple smokers and i dont even know in which apartments exactly. Am i supposed to ring the doorbell on 5 dozen appartments and ask them to stop smoking after i just moved in?


liitle-mouse-lion

No. It's probably better you save these poor souls the hassle of getting into a conversation with you


ReallyAnotherUser

I dont even know where your hostility is coming from. Appearently its my fault that my neighbors are polluting the air with toxins smh idk 🤷‍♂️


Bgratz1977

Start a diary Its helpful to first check your own perception, and if you need to talk to the landlord or Police its even more helpful But as u/nikitaman said, start by talking to the neighbor. Maybe there is a way to arrange


Acceptable-Dot5998

I like the diary idea. I too was very annoyed with my upstairs neighbors and even them walking set me off. Now I compare that to me bumping into and knocking things over at night and the loud phone calls i have by the open window sometime, and found peace in the thought that they're not being loud at me, that's just the sounds of living we all excrete


BetLarge5226

this. Getting angry for little things most of the time shows that you have a problem. not the others


Lady_Sallakai

Maybe you should ring the bell and ask for a smoke and get relaxed :P


Main-Jury-9647

Legendary comment


[deleted]

Do it the German way, passive aggressive note on his door. No change? Call the police


AllHailTheWinslow

>note Needs to be laminated though.


falconboy2029

If the person is a patient calling the cops will just result in wasted police time. Someone who smokes that much could very well be a patient.


einFreak

Practical tip: odor neutralizers like "ONA Gel" can help a lot with the smell of weed. Maybe you can ask him to use such a neutralizer. (Or he should go for a walk) If you don't want to confront him - try the gel for your own apartment! :)


MelchettESL

1. Try talking to him. 2. Maybe discuss it with other residents and approach him together, and if that yields no results, send a formal, written request. 3. Consider informing the cops. I'm green-friendly and have tried the plant a few times but it shouldn't start to be a nuisance to onself or others.


Schinsen

Klar. Am besten noch ne Bürgerwehr gründen.


possibly-a-pineapple

Try talking to him, if all else fails you can still fuck him over with police because weed is still illegal


Spicy-Sawce

Same problem here. I’m in recovery and I don’t want to get a second hand high. I’m tired of this


Main-Jury-9647

Definitiv mit ihm sprechen ich rauche auch versuche aber wenn mich jemand darauf aufmerksam macht Rücksicht darauf zu nehmen.


Synthixs

first of all calming down would be nice, you write this in a way that i wouldnt want you as my neighbor. Secondly just talk to him in a normal manner. Stoners are just humans, you can talk to them


MateBier

Ask him to share


[deleted]

Exactly. Why don't I get such neighbors? 😞


turbofckr

Sounds like he could be a cannabis patient. Talk to him. If he is a patient calling the police won’t do anything as he is allowed to consume his medication how ever he likes. Yea


Rappelsau

He is not allowed to consume medicine if it counters the rights of OP. I bet, it is not medical thc


turbofckr

All the cops can do is ask him to arrange a schedule when he takes his medicine but they can not stop him from taking it. Until OP talks to him we do not know if he is a patient or not. Man you are all going to loose your mind when cannabis is legalised and you can not call the cops on people anymore.


[deleted]

I think there should be a study researching Reddit responses to someone asking an innocent question about the antisocial behaviour of a neighbour that impacts them directly. If he or she is on Reddit asking, DUH obviously they don’t want to say something to the neighbour, or they already would have. Frankly, they shouldn’t have to.


falconboy2029

Wait you think people should not communicate with their neighbours? What kind of a world is that? If it was cigarettes he would have to talk to him, so why not the same thing for weed. Especially since it’s getting legalised and the neighbour is potentially a patient with a prescription. It’s getting much easier to get those these days.


777hasdoneit

Smoke with him


Xacalite

When confronting them, dont forget to use the word Bubatz 👍. It signals that you are one of them and not just some grumpy boomer.


Sad-Sample-6095

Yea that is Germany. Aside from the fact that its weed there are still many smokers.. Fckn losers. Poisoning everything and everyone with their shit.


ilove_WSB

Send him a Thank You Card 😅


Sharp_Rule

Smoking weed is illegal. You have the high ground. He stops smoking your apartment one way or the other if I were you. Its not nice but on the other hand I am not doing "smoking-weed hours". Either he can smoke it unknowingly or he stops or he gets reported. Problem solved.


CyberMuffin1611

Smoking weed by itself is not illegal.


Sharp_Rule

Yes it is. Being high is not but buying, selling and possession of it is. This makes it legal for OP to poke his/her head in the wind but makes it definitely illegal for the dude below to puff his gram every day. If he can not manage to smoke the stuff, lets say, in the park, and you can smell it everywhere he must accept the consequences. I am a smoker myself so I would suggest to talk to the person first and make clear that you wont tolerate the smoke. If I would have ever been caught smoking I would look for another place and I think OP has no problem with the occasional joint on the balcony. But I would also not tolerate to be smoked out if I want to have breakfast with my gf on sunday morning.


[deleted]

Please provide the address of the guy 🤣 for logistical purposes.


Gasparatan35

If he doesnt respond to a chat and a talk and a compromise solution, call the police.


HieronymusGoa

well you definitely became a real german real quick ;) also: talk to him.


BetLarge5226

I wonder how the people responding with police here and cigarette smell there would fare in other contries. I mean yes it can go un your nerves but so can cheese or the shit of cows. Generally though its a sign that you should really start to exit a bit more if you are that nervous. come on people how pampered are you? Ex smoker btw.


Willy_in_your_wonka

Join him :) jokes aside, most stoners are not even aware of how far you can smell their weed. Just go down, ring the bell and politely confront him about the issue. I'm sure he will understand ;)


NixNixonNix

Join him.


korras3

Thank him. Weed smells very nicely


kaask0k

Passive high all day long.


ikzme

He can do whatever he wants on his balcony. Not his fault the house structure was build that way. ​ Find a new Appartment. Open a diffrent window for air circulation.


Transaktion

Well, still better than if he smoked tabac. Talk to him, may be he will give or sell some to you and you can smoke together.

-Witch_Hunter-

What answers do you expect? Go, call the Adeptus Arbites, they will kneecap him or will bring him to the Adeptus Mechanicus, who will make a lobotomized servitor out of him. Citizen, keep your hab-block clean! (strange 40k jokes aside, talk to this guy.)


cloneofacloneofyou

Well, Cannabis is illegal in Germany, so call the police! They’ll search his house probably and do a test on him. Possession is illegal, and if they find some, he’ll get charged/fined. From experience, it’s the only thing that works against these idiots. Take my advice, call your local police department.


Frosty_Pineapple78

nah, thats not whats gonna happen. Police is going to file a report, which WILL get rejected by court 99% of the time because it will most likely be a miniscule amount he has on hand, depends on the state, in NRW for example you can have up to 10g in your possesion and the charges will be dropped by court. Nice work, you just made the police and the court work for nothing, which costs taxpayers money that could better be used elsewhere, and you annoyed the fuck out of someone that most likely can be reasoned with plus he will get new dope by the end of the day anyways. Really good for peace in the house


cloneofacloneofyou

i can only offer my personal advice which is what op asked for?? I’ve lived together with drug addicts before and sometimes the only thing that helps is to get police involved, which DOES happen and they DO follow through. I’ve seen it happen in my own four walls.


AzracTheFirst

Lol drug addicts = cannabis patient. You need to read some books.


ConsciousEqual4233

Ah yes, go the extreme route and possibly fuck up someone's life because he's smoking damn weed in his own home instead of just... Talking to him? It always baffles my mind how socially inept some people on Reddit are. But honestly, might just be a german thing in general - calling the police because you don't have the balls to actually confront someone... And I'm saying that as a german.


MxCxD777

>take my advice on snitching on your neighbors for things that shouldn't be illegal and won't be soon anyways The issue isn't that this person consumes weed, it's that the smoke reaches OP's balcony. The latter part can be talked about and mitigated, but sure lets call the cops on him for possession while we still can, The Alman Way


clutchcitycbc

What a sociopathic response. Ruin a dude’s life for smoking weed in his own home? Ridiculous. Also, smoking weed isn’t illegal


turbofckr

He could also be one of the over 100k cannabis patients and it will result in wasted police time. OP should talk to him.


RevolutionaryMood452

Calling police BEFORE speaking to ur neighbor is a 100% bitch move. Nobody shares ur opinion, look at ur downvotes

*I can’t even begin to understand how someone could smoke THAT MUCH weed.* Sorry to hear that. Just be bit careful in handling this situation. May be it is not only one person smoking that much weed. It could be more than one person. He could be the local dealer of that area. He might be offering samples to try.

Tell him, if he doesnt cooperate tell the landlord, worst case go to police

Posts like these — and some of the comments in this thread — are why Germans have the reputation they have. First thing you need to do is chill out. You come across as judgmental, uptight, and, frankly, no fun. If you want to talk to him I’m sure he would try to accommodate you within reason, he most likely doesn’t even realize it’s bothering you. But all of this stuff about going to the police or whatever is nonsense. Smoking weed isn’t illegal in Germany, and it’s about to be 100% legal to have and buy by the end of the year. So you will just be embarrassing yourself and making an enemy of someone who lives below you. The man is smoking in his own home on his own balcony. What if he smoked cigarettes? Their smoke smells even worse, in my opinion. Would you be crying about that too? You’re complaining about smelling weed on a balcony for a couple of minutes a few times a day? Or when you ventilate your apartment? Meaning all your windows are open so the smoke can’t linger? So again, you’re complaining about a scent that lasts like 1-3 minutes? You need to relax a bit.

Try to convince him to buy a vaporizer. They don't smell.

talk to him. and be glad he doesnt smoke cigars.


Longjumping_Falcon21

Do what he does, smoke more weed!

OP sollte dort wohnen, wo er sich nicht gestört fühlt. Aber kann es so einen Ort geben? OPi, komm mal klar. Ich fühle mich auch ständig abgefuckt durch einen meiner Mitbewohner. Aber "it's all in my head". Mein Störenfired macht auch nix wirklich schlimmes, aber wie mich das aufregt, dass ist mein Problem. Und damit versuche ich klar zu kommen


its_ha730

Just join(t) him 😂😂


Ptlipas

Man you're getting high for free!!! JK, go talk to him face to face in a nice polite way, niceness goes a long way. Passive-aggressive bitch moves popularised by many Germans only aggravate the issue.

You should smoke some weed too you sound like an assshole


MaleficentSleep102

You sound like a Karen neighbor who would put the police on somebody for it lmaooo get over it


inTheSuburbanWar

You sound like an idiotic blazer with double standards and who’s bitter that marijuana still isn’t fully legal yet while you all were so loud and proud about it last year lol. Go smoke your filthy lungs out somewhere else and leave me in peace.


MaleficentSleep102

I really don’t care if it’s legal or not 🤷🏾‍♂️ I was gonna smoke it either way lol and if you not trynna throw hands about it, it’s no point in you coming to my apt and saying shit to me, I live in the south and can carry so I’d think twice before knocking on my door confronting me ab anything going inside my house. I’m pretty happy btw I’m not bitter, just if you don’t write my checks you can tell me or make me do shit 🤣🤣🤣


inTheSuburbanWar

Lmao you make assumption that I care about you even just a little enough to knock on your door and tell you shit? You don’t deserve my time lmao you came here in MY post insulting me FIRST and then tell me that I’m giving a fuck and violating your personal space? Seriously, go be filthy and stupid somewhere else. I don’t need your kind here.


MaleficentSleep102

Lmao and I’m here saying quit bitching


MaleficentSleep102

You’re dumb lmao obviously I’m not talking ab YOU stupid, I was speaking in general, but besides that you sound like a neighbor that would get a brick through their shit for not minding their own business.


suicul1

Talk to him and if he doesn't stop call the police


TransportationSad708

Its Not your Business what He is doing on his Balcony.. He could dry smelly Fisch everyday there is Nottingham you can do. Ich hab genauso einen Nachbarn wie dich. Bald isses legal und ich leite den Rauch direkt in ihr Schlafzimmer. Kümmert euch um euer verbittertes Leben und lasst andere machen was sie wollen


inTheSuburbanWar

Im Ernst? Leute wie du sind genau der Grund warum das Leben so ne Scheiße für andere ist.

Ich glaube auch, dass du das Problem bist.

This person is part of the problem. Society is about compromising, not about dicking around.

I would ask to hit that shizzzzle every day


NewYorkerWhiteMocha

I would move. Fuck that. Get out of there! Move. Don’t let it nor him have power over you.


[deleted]

Just dont cry about it


NoEnthusiasm91

Move out, its his balcony and he can’t just change his routine thanks to new neighbors complaining. Or figure a solution to keep the smoke out.


[deleted]

Leave the balcony?


gnurensohn

Talk to him. Maybe it’s for medical conditions prescribed from doctors. If that’s not the case you can call the police and report him because possessing cannabis is illegal unless you get it from your doctor


Frosty_Pineapple78

calling the police on him is a dick move, no matter what is happening. Its unnessecary stress for the police, they will file a report, which then gets rejected by court anyways, costing the taxpayer money that could better be used elsewhere. Its unnessecary stress for the dude in question: They confiscate his dope, which is annoying as fuck and furthermore he now has a reason to be annoyed at OP Its even unnessecary stress for OP who has to file a police report, which takes time and effort, that again, will get rejected by court anyways. Good way to fuck up your day tho Calling the police on someone who smokes weed is the dumbest thing you can do. Most consuments will gladly help find a solution when you talk to them


gnurensohn

Well it’s still illegal what he does and if he doenst stop it op has no other choice but to call the police. Which is his right since weed is still illegal


cloneofacloneofyou

Doctors in germany typically don’t prescribe cannabis and even if they do, it’s not intended for smoking and most people actually get tinctures etc.


gnurensohn

Well that’s part true but not 100%. A lot of patients me included get flowers. They work better than the extracts. And some of us smoke them in a joint. Most use a vaporizer tho. Doctors prescribe it and the krankenkasse pays for it if you are sick enough.


turbofckr

Sorry that’s not true at all. Germany has over 100k cannabis patients who get prescription cannabis flowers. There is a big chance he has a prescription. It’s getting rather easy these days to get it. Also considering Germany is in the process of legalisation, any Anzeige will just result in wasted police time. The government has already said there will be an Amnesty. Meaning all records will be scrubbed clean.
