"Just leave then" Fine, I'll take the bait. I moved here by choice, my "ancestors" have nothing to do with Hong Kong. I also don't wage a war against my neighbours who are simply trying to "enjoy a smoke". I still don't appreciate when my house smells of cannabis when I leave the window open and don't turn on the fans I have in the balcony. My neighbours could turn on a fan to dissipate the smoke, they don't it's inc…

It stinks, it has a reek. People don't like the way it smells, and smoking it around others who aren't smoking is just plain rude. Smoke your sacred herb, but do it where it won't make people wonder why it smells like a skunk died nearby.

You make a lot of very strange assumptions about who I am and what I've done with my life. And you'll note, I don't stop them, nor complain - I merely WISH they were a little more considerate in their partaking of the herb, I'd be less irritated. Additionally, they don't have "every right" it's entirely illegal here, but I've no interest in calling the police over it - as again, I just wish they were naturally a litt…

It tells me you write prose in a manner becoming of an unhinged madman.

You assume I have not tried it, you assume I have not tried other substances. You assume a lot while pushing a narrative of your own.

If your mind is so open, why are you so closed and selfish towards other's view points?

Not saying it's right for everyone, but I moved off-grid where my nearest neighbor is 5km away. 20 years in an apartment in the city was enough for me, as I grew older I realized there are too many things outside of my control if I want silence and peace of mind. Sound pollution is a very real baseline stressor.

I love to be in control of my environment. In my apartment block that means I rely on my sound machine to silence any unwanted noise. Albeit relatively.

Reminds of a neighbor I had back when I was renting in a big city. He didn’t seem to understand what’s wrong with keeping his TV on for very long periods broadcasting the sleaziest (at least at the time) reality show on full volume. I tried talking to him multiple times to no avail. He’d basically say “yeah I’ll pay attention no problem” but nothing changed for weeks. Coincidentally at that time I was working morning…

Were you each other’s only neighbours? How did that “war” not involve other people in the vicinity?

Based on this tall tale being the top comment, and the replies to you, I hereby request dang remove the “HN is becoming Reddit” nono from the guidelines.

Rates are down massively compared to where they were before the significant drop in smoking.
