You say that with such disdain. Are you one of those White people who hate White women, or one of those non-white people who hate White women?
There's always going to be an idiot who tries to make it about race.
Impressive overreaction. Yes I said it with disdain because this woman represents your typical rich, white and pampered DC resident who is completely out of touch with the rest of the city. Those whose lives are so care free they get worked up about trivial stuff like the smell of marijuana.
They're not worried about robberies, carjackings, public urination, whether the trash gets picked up, rampant visible poverty. Nope. Their lives are so good they're pissed off about the smell of marijuana.
Sometimes my neighbor's cigarette smoke wafes over during the warmer months when I can sleep with my window open. It happens once a month. I should probably sue him over this and throw a temper tantrum for the press about how offended I am. Then I would get in the Post and would be made a martyr by all the uptight squares. I'd be a hero.
Who made you the aribter of how much someone should be pissed off about the smell of marijuna? How about I come and take a shit on your living room floor every few hours and let it sit there for awhile before I clean it up? That's what it smells like to me.
And just because someone doesn't partake and is disgusted by the smell doesn't make them an uptight person, it makes them a smart person. Which you clearly are not. Somone who partakes even though they know if bothers their neighbors is a selfish dick. A 78 year old woman shouldn't have to put up with that crap.
From the Post comments section:
Many posts appear to think that the problem with pot smoke is just the malodor. A chemical comparison of tobacco cigarettes emissions with marijuana cigarettes, both of which are burned at red heat, produce most of the same toxic and carcinogenic combustion products, i.e. fine particles, VOCs, and PAHs, in roughly the same amounts. The main difference is nicotine vs. THC. This 96-yr old duplex home has a 3-story cinderblock wall separating the two homes that are owned by different occupants. The house would have to be gutted to seal it properly at great expense, $ which Ms. Josefa who is retired, does not have. Selling a contaminated house would likely result in a huge monetary loss. These are the issues in this case. She is royally screwed.
