Okay folks, I have a real question for you here after I share a little ditty from life on the culdesac in K-City.
Growing up my mom was a smoker, alongside many of our friends and neighbours, until I was in grade four. Basically, my sister and I hounded her for years, yes years, until she overcome her addiction and was able to quit. But, my everlasting life problem is that my asthma and breathing issues are now probably due to breathing in smoke in our cars and home for ten years of my life.
Now, on our culdesac in K-City, we have three new neighbours and one of them smokes weed morning, noon and night, not in their home, but somewhere on their property. Yes people are getting smarter by not exposing people in their homes and cars to weed, smoke, and vaping, but what about the neighbours? I can no longer go into our front yard, in our garage or sit on the chairs in front of our house without smelling and breathing in the smell of pot.
Are we moving?
I don’t know. It is so disgusting and literally hurts my lungs, I am not sure what the future holds.
What would you do?
It’s a gift to breathe fresh air, especially if your lung are sub-par.
Have an epic Tuesday folks and love what you do.
xoxo Joanna
"Be" ENOUGH 
Ugh that’s so sad… we had neighbors in Calgary that did the same and I found it so frustrating. Do they seem like reasonable neighbors who might be understanding if you explained your asthma and the smell affecting your life outside?

Thanks for your understanding. It’s been hard. With the influx of the three new neighbours, I haven’t been able to suss out who it is yet, but I am trying to figure it out and will pray that God gives me words to say… or how about we move to your gorgeous area? hahha
That would be amazing, but we have neighbor issues too 😂!

Moving probably isn’t the answer… Unfortunately, these are the times we live in. As Tenessa suggested, ti might be worth a genuine, kind, and non-threatening conversation with the neighbour… Best of luck!
Yes, 100%. I agree, but my mind did go there the last few weeks. I love that you connected with what Tenessa said. You two would love each other. Both homeschooling moms and both in the creative/creator field.
Joanna, th
Been think about this since you published. At first I was stumped. My suggestion is to get to know your neighbours, find out where it’s coming from, and then have a non-threatening conversation. My advice is to focus on your asthma and see if they would be willing to work with you. Compromise from both sides of the fence? Good luck to you!
Thank you for pondering it and for sharing what you thought Isabel. I really, really appreciate it. The last 10 days we have been trying to suss it out and we are now wondering if it is “off-gas” from a grow up. We do know that our neighbours do grow it. I need to look into the science behind it. What an adventure.
