Smoking outside is just asking for trouble...
Anyone who has actually been around the beautiful aroma of marijuana would know why.

Rules are rules. I'm sure the guy can find a way. I always managed and I used to smoke the stuff like my life depended on it.
Posession of a small amount is a violation, not even a misdemeanor. It's on par with getting a no-points traffic ticket and a $50 fine. What would aiding and abetting get you, a dirty look?

I would have replied sooner but my internet has been down all day.
I just want to set a few things straight.
First of all I'm not going to say I'm not spoiled(I am) or that I'm not a tool(probably am).
I don't like pot.
I have asked him on multiple occasions not to smoke here period. He'd stop for a week and then start back up.
My parents control my life. They own the condo we are staying in and they own my car. They've already taken my car for a week once because they caught him smoking cigarettes on the porch with the door open. If they ever found out he was smoking pot I'd lose the car and a place to live. My father has made it very clear that I am the one responsible for everything that goes on there. They won't punish him but they will punish me. They also live 5mins away and have their own key.
Being a condo we are surround by neighbors. Half of which are college students who's parents bought them condos, the other half, which mainly live on the floor above us, are 50+. These are also not cheap, we are talking upwards of $250K+ each. His $600 is paying for about 1/4 of what the total rent/utlites are. He never signed a lease, we never made a contract. Basicly he is a paying guest.
When he smokes outside he usually invites 4-7 other people over to smoke with him. Then they all end up watching TV till 5am and crashing on my furniture(which has pissed my parents off to no end). All of it is mine, the sofas, home theater(yes, I paid for it), the only thing he brought was a bed and a desk.
He is not dealing to my knowledge but he has had up to an ounce here before. But he does hand out his key when I'm not around and he's at work so that his friends can come smoke
I DID NOT UNLOCK his door. I unlocked the front door so I could get in the condo and his door is the first one in and about 4 feet away. It was also wide open and looking into his wide open closet where I saw him(front the front door) walk over and put his bong in it and then shut the closet. He then invited me into his room to talk about the iPhone. Also his room has two windows, neither of them open.
We were best friends until about halfway through high school when we went to different schools. His mother and my mother are really close thus they offered him a place to stay when living with his dad wasn't working out.
I'm going to talk to him this weekend and set some new rules.
No smoking anything, anywhere.
No one spends the night here unless they do so in his room.
Limiting him to 3 guest at any given time.

First I've seen of this thread, with the update. It would be in your best interest to kick him out, it was your mistake to let this slide in the past. I doubt he will just completely stop smoking around there for good. The other option I'd consider is raising his rent to $1000 plus a final warning, and have him sign a contract.
Doesn't sound too bad if his parents are helping him out big time and all he has to do is crowd/party control and make sure the roommate doesn't smoke.

You should start an "intervention." Marijuana is a gateway drug. Get about ten people together to meet with him one evening. Have it be a surprise, focus on the dangers of marijuana and why it's ruining his life.
Get him into a rehab program and he's set.

ok reality check, he smokes pot. he is not shooting up H or doing fat lines of charlie of some strung out hookers ass. leave him alone and mind your business
Considering his parents support him to an extent and may cut him off, and it is their property, it would be in his best interest to enforce the rules his parents put forth.
Personally, I wouldn't want to be in that situation. But it could be worse and it seems like the OP is comfortable with it.
I don't think I would call it paranoia. I would refer to this awareness, being aware of what is going on around you and taking control of it is called being an adult, I see nothing wrong with that.
I think the point he is trying to make is when you start having too many people over to smoke, you lose control of the situation. This happened to me a few times with my old roommate years ago, he would have friends over and stuff would start missing. Not to mention that it always starts with friends and then ends up leading to dealing, same thing happened to me.
I think an age poll is needed for this thread to see the age of each person responding.
That's my thinking. I couldn't care less about people who smoke pot. IMO it should be legalized and controlled similar to alcohol. However, the guy is smoking inside the condo - his parents condo. It's not his room, he's renting and he's supposed to follow the rules of the lease. The OP isn't being a tool or idiot, his roommate is.Originally posted by: Aquaman
For me as a landlord........ it's not the pot smoking..... he can smoke outside. But the smokin g inside really would tee me off. It's relly hard if not impossible to get the smoke smell out (funk febreeze). Just keep that sh!t outside.
Cheers,

I'd be pissed if he was smoking anything inside my place. Contrary to popular belief, smoking does stink up a place and it's a bitch to get the smell out. Years ago my ex and I bought a place from a smoker. Even after cleaning, all carpet replaced, and walls/ceilings painted it still had a tinge of smoke smell.
