I'm getting stoned on passive Wacky baccy
We all know the effect of passive smoking but what about passive smoking of marijuana, weed, hash, wacky baccy, ganja or whatever they call it nowadays. Well apparently I'm getting stoned on it. That's the medical opinion anyway. Not only does it cause me to cough from a dry throat but the smell is so powerful it actually wakes me up. It's like an early morning alarm clock when the young man who smokes it is around. It's during the day as well when he's not working and other family members are not in. You should have seen my red glazed eyes this week. Even I was surprised. Have used nearly a whole bottle of Febreze to get rid of the lingering smell in the bedroom.
Since I've given up smoking AGAIN seven months ago, 1 hour group hypnotism the cheaper alternative, not only have I become as fat as a house but my sense of smell has been heightened. I've mentioned before that with the hollow walls of London's old Victorian properties smells from other flats below permeate the air into my flat.
Quite amazing sometimes recognizing what food being cooked. Makes you hungry at times. Then there is the smell from over used cooking oil and the 'stinky' type of disinfectant and bleach again in the early hours which makes me literally retch. I've had an inherited allergy to chemicals and smells all my life but since getting older it is getting worst with red patches on my skin which nowadays do not fade. Wish I had the kind of neighbour one could ask them nicely to drop a splash of Zoflora into the water to add some floral fragrance like I've always done.
Don't quite know what to do about it at the moment. I've got to think long and hard about it but my health is being affected. The young man who smokes it is not a malicious soul so is probably completely oblivious to the effect it is having on me. Hope now the weather is warming up he will revert back to smoking it outside so the breeze will blow the odour away.

Lucky you! The big plus is that being permanently stoned should banish the need for your previously mentioned folding cane! You should now find that you are able to float down your stairs no problem!

If you have an allergy to cleaning products how is it possible for you to use a whole tin of air freshener in your small flat?!

There have been a flood of childish and spiteful comments written which I haven't allowed through. All rather unbecoming of decent folk.
Many are just below the belt insults and others speculative about things they have no real knowledge about.
Respect yourself is all I can say

Come off it suz. Surely when you decided to publish childishness and spite you should have anticipated childishness and spite in response.

Suz, as a daily reader of your blog from the depths of Plymouth, I do wonder at the type of responses you get to some of your posts. You do seem to have some malicious people reading it who delight in having their say in a nasty way. To Jane, Kent. I can see nothing childish or spiteful in Suz's post about 'getting stoned on wacky baccy'. However, your reply is spiteful. Do you know Suz in person and have a grudge against her? Also to anonymous, who from the language appears to be a man since he has no knowledge of household chemical products, Febrese is not an air freshener in the normal sense and it does not come in a tin. I completely understand what Suz is saying and how she tries to combat the smell and still cope with her allergies. I too hate the odour of ganja and feel like throwing up when I smell it now. This might be because I have smelt a lot of it in my life when living in Africa, being forced to be a passive smoker of the substance. Suz, I hope your dope smoking downstairs neighbour soon moves on and leaves you in peace. As for spiteful Jane, Kent and 'not very bright' anonymous - do grow up!

Really Ms Lamido you say that you have received `a flood of childish and spiteful comments` in response to this post, the point that I would like to put across to you is this, surely if a person chooses(for whatever reason) to display details of his or her personal life for all to see they should be prepared to accept the derogatory along with the complimentary, they should also be prepared to display all comments as received. Your method of hiding behind your blog authority leaves a lot to be desired to say the least. This applies in particular to a post such as this in which you have evidently attempted (unsuccessfully one would assume) to demoralize and discredit others with malice and venom. The probability is that some of the negative responses that you have received have been from your neighbours friends and family and quite frankly who can wonder at that? The unfortunate thing about a forum like yours is that a cowardly person such as yourself has been enabled to decide whether the victims of your spite are to be given the chance to defend themselves or not.
