Marijuana smoke migrating to my condo! I just bought a condo which is a three-level townhouse and was built in 1980. I am adjacent to my neighbor and share a common wall. My neighbor, an older couple, smoke weed frequently and do not air

I went through (and am going through) a similar issue with a neighbor. Found this thread helpful, especially the second answer. TL;DR - very difficult to change your side of the equation as opposed to getting the neighbor to change theirs. diy.stackexchange.com/questions/18...

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with โ€œshows of presenceโ€.

This is fascism.
