OH I feel for you so much. I had this problem in June. I have had the smell of it waft into my house or worse, on my clean washing outside a few times (we part own part rent through family mosaics) and the first time it really bothered me I just knocked on the door and said 'I'm really sorry but your cannabis smell is coming into my living room and I have a baby' and he seemed really mortified and it stopped for ages. Then in June I think they began to do it more and more and also another neighbour above started too! My elderly grandmother was here from Scotland and I was 6 weeks pregnant with Hyperemesis which the cannabis smell coupled with the intense heat of london this summer, made it a million times worse. I first went to knock on their door, but had to call the buzzer and I admit I flipped out and said if they didnt stop it I would call the police. It didn't stop, so I called the police. I had to badger 101 a lot. Cannabis posession is Illegal, it's Illegal to smoke, it's a class B drug I think. It was made class C and now it's back to B i THINK but I may be wrong. I had to give them a hard time, also my housing association and what worked for me was sending a tweet to the housing association, my local MP (I was sooooo sick and desperate and like you, the majority of the smoke was coming right into my now toddlers bedroom window!!!) Also, I tweeted Family Mosiaic and I complained and complained and it has stopped. They denied it was them but funnily enough since the Housing officer went over to speak to them, I haven't smelled it since....it was them! I even told one of them off for it when he was lighting up on the adjacent balcony! Anyway I also told them I was having midwifes making home visits as I was planning a homebirth and I really laid it on thick about how much it was affecting my health.
You DON'T have to put up with it. It IS illegal. Good luck .x
