My friends came over for movie night and a bunch of us decided to go outside on the porch to smoke a recreational marijuana joint.
I had something really dank and it smelled pretty strong.
My friends and I were not making too much noise, but the neighbor upstairs came out on the porch and she flipped her light switch on and off. That is a usual sign that she is aggravated and complaining. She often flips her lights on and off if she wants us to be quieter. My girlfriend and I have been living at the apartment for the past 6 months and this lady has been a problem the whole time. I went back into the house to watch the rest of the movie and a couple of my friends stayed outside on the porch to smoke. They were talking about football and sports and they were being a little loud, but they definitely weren’t rowdy. There was absolutely no reason for the neighbor to contact the police department. When the police officer showed up, they told us that there was a complaint about noise and the smell of marijuana. We told the officer that we were smoking marijuana and a portion he reminded me that the porch is technically a public area. The law states that we have to smoke inside of our home or we can be given a fine and a ticket. Everyone went inside of the apartment after the neighbor decided to call the police and break up all of the fun.
