    I wish it was that easy. You will get a better end result calling narcotics instead of patrol.

    Mike has two great points already, weed isn't a narcotic so narcotics isn't going to go after a non narcotic.

    And I like who ever said dope, that's a tell that you haven't had much experience is drugs. Urban dictionary dope and see what you come up with, it's not weed. That's the second point Mike came out with.

    Weed, LSD, and all manner of illegally possessed controlled substances, narcotics or not, ARE handled by narcotics units. "Narcotics" and "dope" are catch all terms for illegal drugs in the police business and thats whats being discussed. It was said to contact the narco unit because a patrol officer may not have the time or resources to devote to a residential sales case. You may just get a drive-by, which in this case won't cut it. We may not have the same "experience" in drugs but I know my dope, and not from Urban Dictionary.

    So many bad bad advice in this thread. Is this what happen when you live a shelter life? calling weed dope and suggesting to other to shoot water at someone's joint?

    Talk to your neighbor again, don't preach and don't judge. It may even help to get your point across if you pretend to understand (go with the classic "yea i blazed back in college too etc etc") bring up the kid and how the kid doesn't like the smell. Get it out of your head that they are crazy pot smoking gun wielding dealer, you are already making assumptions in your head that prevent your from appearing non judgemental when you talk to them.

    Think about this, right now to your neighbor your probably the annoying judgement b**** that like to complain about a harmless plant. They certainly have no respect for you or your needs. of course they are not gonna move their spot, why should they just so they would please someone that don't give a cent about or have any authority over them?

    change their attitude towards you than i guarantee you they will move for you, your not asking them to vacant the area just to switch their smoking spot to the back of the house. The reason why they are not doing it is because you have 0 respect in their eyes.

    Sure you can call the cops, but calling a cop because someone is smoking weed is like the utmost waste of a officer's time. And don't think your neighbor's are dumb, once you call the police your relationship with them will now change for the worse, nobody like a snitch and you got their attention in the worst way possible.

    I like the idea with the dog poop, its something you can do that is relatively harmless and you can laugh you way out of it. shooting water at someone joint is just plain childish and make you look like a bigger :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: the one holding the joint.

    Just my 2 cent. you can do everything in your power to chase them out but weed smoking is so prevalent these days you may have the same problem down the road

    Sorry to inform you but narcotics does deal with marijuana and all forms of drugs, narcotic or not. Also dope is widely used by police officers to describe drugs in general. We do not use urban dictionary to define the terms we use. The fact you think urban dictionary is official and real is hilarious. I'm a police officer and have arrested and served more narcotics warrants than I can count. Some of those were for straight marijuana houses.

    Before you judge someone's experience in something make sure you have some yourself.

    The presence of a 5-O on the board:D. I have to say everything KMG said made total sense now that occupation has been reveal:)

    I have nothing against police officer but as a non police i still think the situation can be deal with more creatively than call the police. I think the 5-O has more important things to do than busting stoner and stalking possible low level dealers

    Selling weed doesn't equate to a dangerous situation, especially if the "dealer" is talking about it in terms of doing favors for people. Savvy smokers these days will pool money to buy larger quantities at lower rates and split to save money. Maybe the renter is just the connection for his friends with a larger dealer, and has been spotting a friend to keep from hurting the whole pool, or just trying to be a "good friend". Without further information, I can't say for sure if that's the case here, but I can say it with as much certainty as you say there could be danger. Statistically, potheads are one of the least dangerous drug users, including those who consume alcohol.

    For the OP, don't assume you're in danger, but you don't have to tolerate poor neighbors either. If you are willing to pursue a resolution that doesn't include the police, the irritation tactics might do the trick for you. It sounds like you've tried to talk to them, but only you can tell if there's room to say more. If you can explain to them that you're trying to keep from involving the police, but you're at your wits end trying to find compromise, you may get further than just "nagging" which is how your neighbors might see what you've done so far. Talking to the landlord is also a valid suggestion, because depending on local law the homeowner could be complicit in illegal substance use/dealing by housing the drug-users.

    If all else fails, or you don't have the time or patience to pursue alternate routes, calling the police is a valid option. It's not what I'd do, and I can't say how far you'll get against potentially recreational drug users, but ultimately you have to be satisfied with the way you handled the situation.

    You know, how harmful can a natural plant, that has been legalized for medicinal reasons be? It's not like a made chemical, like meth. I would rather run into a pot head, than someone jacked up on meth.

    You'd still be wrong, urban dictionary is just an example that is frequented and updated by people directly involved. Dope is not an umbrella term, which I should hope a cop would know. But, hey, I've met some pretty illiterate cops in my time. Sure narcs do deal in weed, but they usually have bigger fish to fry especially in my neck of the woods. I doubt they'd take the time for a small house.
