can I bust someone for smoking weed?

Asmooh · 23-02-2015 08:46PM #1

I was wondering, is smoking weed legal or illegal in ireland? in case it's illegal can I bust someone for doing it or won't the police do anything about it?

because my housemate is smoking weed and I get pain in my head from it, he is addicted to it and also to gambling.

so I was wondering if I can bust the guy to make him go away

Try a citizens arrest on him and march him to the local police station IMO.

Crooked Jack · 23-02-2015 08:48PM

Not to be thinking totally out of the box here but have you tried maybe talking to him before getting cops involved

hellas · 23-02-2015 08:48PM

Weed is completely legal in Ireland. unlucky.

It is illegal but I think it's just a fine unless he has a large amount or is growing/dealing

weed is illegal, but unless he's got a grow-op going on in the house, you'll find it hard to get the guards to do anything I'm afraid!

Note to any boardsie, living in Leixlip, smoking weed in front of your house mate, beware, he may be a complete d1ck.

OP, just ask him to smoke it in his room or not in your presence?

Move?

Bust him with a karate kick to the bojangles , then sit back and inhale.

23-02-2015 08:51PM

Ask him for some and relax.

hfallada · 23-02-2015 08:51PM

Have you asked him to smoke it outside ? I can't understand why some Irish people think its acceptable to smoke indoors. My parents are landlords and the only tenants that smoke inside are Irish. It's rank and inconsiderate of others

Macavity. · 23-02-2015 08:53PM

Become a meth addict, it's the only solution. Talking to him could cause momentary awkwardness.

Aongus Von Bismarck · 23-02-2015 08:57PM

I'd confront him and ask that he stop. Or let the landlord know. There's absolutely no reason you should have to put up with the bad habits of others.

It must be intolerable living with a weed smoker. The smell, the laziness, the paranoia, the rambling nonsense that they think is profound, the hogging of the couch as they sit around watching rubbish like Family Guy.

Best of luck, OP. Don't suffer in silence.

Shoot him now, only answer.

bust his ass, mcgarnagle

'Bust' him as in what... waste peoples time by whinging to them about an issue you could easily deal with yourself?

You're not seriously contemplating getting Gardai involved in it are you?! Smoking the stuff isn't illegal in and of itself. You'd need for him to be found in possession and even then it's likely to be ignored unless he was intending to sell it.

Out of interest, how do you know he's addicted to either weed or gambling? Is it because both are things he sometimes does that you see as destructive?

shamrock55 · 23-02-2015 09:07PM

Bet him a grand that he cant stop, being a gamling addict he wont be able to resist, he will stop for a while but because he is also addicted to weed he will go back on it and you will not only have had a period of no weed, but you will have made a grand, its a win win, for you anyway;)

Roll up a splif for yourself & chill the fcuk out. To many people worrying about stupid sh!t these days.

But what if he's paranoid that his flatmate is going to call the cops on him? Is that still classed as paranoia in this case?

You're not thinking big enough - suppose he survives the fire and continues his unacceptable practices. What then, Hotshot??

I think we all know what is required here - nuke Leixleip from orbit. It's the only way to be sure!

the evasion_kid · 23-02-2015 09:17PM

Leave a trail of doritos to the local police station,let him bust himself

BetterThanThou · 23-02-2015 09:20PM

Weed is virtually harmless, If you dislike the smell of it, ask him to smoke it outside. I highly doubt he's addicted to weed, considering that's been conclusively proven impossible, some people just like to smoke a bit of weed as a past time. I will admit, if he's smoking it in the house, he's being a little inconsiderate, if you have a problem with him smoking it outdoors, you need to lighten up a little.

harry Bailey esq · 23-02-2015 09:23PM

I call fibs.. Op if your actually telling the truth(it is a fairly dubious claim to be honest) why not tell the chap to knock it in on the head.No need to be a complete pr1ck about it. For a start,if you ever tried to 'bust' me for smoking, or anything else for that matter you can be rest assured that I would 'bust' you.
Repeatedly.

R P McMurphy · 23-02-2015 09:28PM

Smoke his pipe, that's what you really wanna do

Don't call the fcuking cops. Just tell him not to smoke in the house. I have no problem with potheads and I wouldn't call the law on anyone who's smoking the herb. Personally I've tried it a few times and don't like it and I hate the smell. If I was sharing with someone who smoked their ganja in the house I would have a serious problem the same as someone smoking a cigar in the living room. Get him to do it outside or in his room with the windows open.

Sounds like you were just living with a messy, inconsiderate asshole. I've never heard of anyone leaving rotting food anywhere after a case of the munchies, much less in the bathroom. And marijuana paranoia really doesn't manifest itself in that way. At least I've never seen it do that anyway. The suicide thing most likely didn't come from the marijuana, much more likely the person in question was using the marijuana to cover up some underlying problems.

He shouldn't be injecting the pot, you should tell him to stop.

can I bust someone for smoking weed?
