"Something irritates me so I want the irritant taken away and locked in a cage". Your vision of the world is clouded by your own hate. As you are someone who conflates a plant with 'drugs', I strongly recommend you spend some time to understand the issues, understand the really nasty history behind prohibition.

Stop and think about how your attitude is trapping humanity in a box. Live a little. Be open to change. Understand others perspective.

All the same, they should not be subjected to the smell of smoke from their neighbors house.

Would you stop BBQing if your neighbour complained about it?

That's an interesting question. If someone had a smoker running all day, everyday, and it was an annoyance to neighbors - yes, I think there should be recourse.

One person shouldn't be allowed to harm other people's enjoyment of their property.

As someone who was vegan/vegetarian for many years, the smell of bbq used to make me ill. (I only eat meat now).

Only a self absorbed busybody loser jerk with nothing better to do would complain about the neighbors bbq'ing. 'get a life'.

Really? Someone shouldn't be able to smoke in their own house/property?

I should not be subjected to the smell of my neighbor's cooking, but here we are.

An important part of living in a civilized world is to put up with the merely annoying stuff our neighbors do. After all, the odds are good that you and I do at least one thing that annoys our neighbors as well.
