Weed problem from a nextdoor neighbor

[Niti Bhat]

We have a townhome in Raleigh which has been rented to a nice couple. They are facing issues with their next door neighbor who uses weed and the smell of it is coming in their home too from the vents, which is causing them lot of difficulty, breathing problem etc. We reported this to HOA but they are not doing anything. The couple don't want to talk to the neighbor directly as they are scared.

Has anyone faced similar situation? Should we report it to the cops?

A few questions, is weed legal in North Carolina?
wjy are they scared to talk to the neighbors?

Talking to the neighbors is always the best first step. No need to to be rude or confrontational just a conversation “hey neighbor you may not realize it but what your smoking whafts into my house and it is very noticeable, I would appreciate it if you would consider this. “

It may be a simple as that. At least that is where I would start.
