Anybody can sue, but the question is if there's a cause that is actionable by the court.  A person can not benefit from an illegal action.  In this case breaking in is the illegal action and thus prevents the homeowner from having responsibility.

Touching weed has nothing to do with it.  Now if you were next to someone you are inhaling what they are smoking.  It's like cigarette smoke, yah know they say second hand smoke is worse than first hand smoke.  It will show up on a drug test because it will be in your system.  Now how much you inhale depends on how much you breathe in.

Any kind of smoke is bad for you. If you smoke once in ahwile its not that bad. If you smoke as much as my roomate does then you may get cancer or have trouble breathing.

dude above me... man, we used to be neighbors!  millwoods, NO WAY!  LMFAO.\n\nOkay no seriously... we moved, not cause of them but we did.  But our solution, is we BBQ'ed the shiat out of our meat on the deck till it was smoking and the smoke went in their place... VOILA!  Keeping the vent fan on on the stove helps too...\n\nWhoever said air cleaner or whatever that helps.. odor neutralizer!  \n\nIf all else fails.. do what we did, throw a fat Tbone on the barbie and smoke em out!!

As a former Texas police officer, I can tell you that the guy that is doing it on purpose could be charged with Criminal Mischief if the owner of the property choses to press charges. If it's an accident, then the owner can take the driver(s) to civil court and sue for the damage to the lawn. No one has the right to hurt someone else's property and the one guy that is doing it on purpose needs a charge slapped on his butt and then he can sit in his jail cell and spin his wheels. He can also be sued for the damage. If the owner wants to press charges, tell them to get it on video if possible. Hide a camera somewhere and then they have their proof. =)

Yes, they can and do if they feel it is justified.  I did it once, but only as supporting evidence for the case where a defendant tried to say it was his cousin’s weed and he never touched the stuff.  At the time, I was a very young officer and didn’t even have any test kits in my car.  Fortunately, the Sgt was there and he DID have test kits in his car.  It was the defendant’s car and there was residue in the ash tray.  This was enough to convince the defendant to have a talk with the DA and the Judge before we actually stepped into court.  He decided community service was a very good option. \n\nJust remember, as soon as you think they won’t, they will.  Besides, if the pot is making you paranoid, also remember…..   we’re watching you.   m(*u*)m

First ask them to smoke somewhere else.  And then if your state has a smoking ban of some type you can take legal action.  But I don't think a restraining order is what you are looking for.  They are actually called Personal Protection Orders and they are for when someone is threatening physical harm to you.  They will probably just laugh if you try and get one because someone is smoking near your window.\n\nIs this a house or an apartment?

i would talk to a lawyer. preferably one from the ACLU, and in the future, be careful. Buy a cigarette rolling machine so your joints will look like cigarettes. its clever, and it works ;)\n\npeace

You CANNOT beat up your neighbor (or anyone else) without violating a penal statute for assault. It would be justified if the other person was beating you up first and then you could be acting in self-defense.

I'm not a smoker nor do i like cigarette smoke:\n\nhow close do you live to this person? You make it sound like he/she is walking up to your windows and blowing it in. There is nothing you can do about it. It is still their legal right to smoke in their house or on their property. Unless you are window to window with this person i think you are being a bit ridiculous. That person has every right to live there. I dont think there is a problem to address to your neighbor. You just seem like one of those unbearable neighbors that nothing makes them happy.\n\nSecond hand smoke is just as bad as doing it yourself but once again unless you are window to window or he is blowing it in your windows i think your kids will be just fine. I mean do you expose your kids to other things in life that arent so healthy? Sugar,mcdonalds,tv??????

Depends on how much you smoke, how often you smoke, what you smoke from etc.  If you smoke an ounce a day in joints, yeah, itll probably cause some lung damage (just because thats alot of smoke). However if you smoke a couple grams on the weekends with a bong, itll be much less damage caused. Let me give you some common methods of smoking pot and the approximate damage of each.\n\nJoints/Blunts- The paper and glue to hold the paper together are filled with chemicals and when they burn along with the pot, it can cause lung damage. But again, its all in how much and how often. One or two joints on the weekends wont hurt you at all.\n\nBongs/Waterpipes- Bongs are safer in general because the smoke is filtered through water before going into your lungs. When that happens, 50% of the carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) in the smoke are removed. Making it much safer.\n\nPipes- Pipes are essentially the same as joints, only slightly safer because theres no burning glue or paper smoke going into your lungs.\n\nVaporisers- Vaporisers are the best of all. Since they vaporize the plant instead of burning it, there is no lung damage at all! Plus you get a much much better high out of it. You can take huge hits and your lungs wont be damaged at all. Theyre expensive though. The cheapest ones go for 60-70 + dollars.\n\nHope that helps.\n\n\nPeace

I'm sure you've heard the Bible command about loving your neighbor....right?   Well, would it be a loving thing to add deadly second hand smoke to the air at this festival?\n\nPersonally, after watching my mother die of lung cancer and heart failure due to smoking, and my father needlessly suffer and die from second hand smoke, I am appalled that anyone would even consider using their addiction as an excuse for doing such a thing as you are suggesting!  (Yes, I'm angry!)
