This has nothing to do with laws. I'm in my first floor apt in a city (and not like cool downtown city), and there's somebody parked on the street with their high beams on, pointed directly at my bedroom window that I face while on my laptop in bed. I have to face this way because I recline on the headboard. The light itself isn't a problem, as the blinds are shut (but my curtain isn't very thick so I can see a brightness). When someone walks by on the sidewalk, I see a silhouette that is almost the size of my window. Shit's not cool.
i dunno, that doesn't sound so bad. at least not until someone starts making hand-shadow creatures on your window.
Either get a flash light, figure out a message in morse code, and give them the message, or go see what they're up too. Obviously something's up if they've been there long enough for you to post something about it..
Thicker curtains would certainly be the logical next step. They weren't there that long, I only noticed because two people walked by... I wouldn't have seen the light otherwise. Car's gone.
I think I was vaguely thinking people could talk about their type of neighborhood and smoking, and how those interact. Or general inner city vs downtown areas vs suburbs etc. "Smoking in a city apt" is the best I could do I guess.
Oh right. Ok. My Hood My Hood is quiet. There is an old peoples home nearby - where I'll probably end up. I've never had any issues with my neighbours - they probably smoke, too. It doesn't look it, but there are lots of students and younger people around (if I can still call myself young?) ... It's quite relaxed.
Anyway you put it, no one really gives two fucks about pot smokers smoking pot in the privacy of your own home. If they call the cops, they don't have the time to get a warrant just for you poking smot. They'd only be concerned really if you have ridiculous amounts of traffic through your door/they have a reason to believe you might be selling it. You're fine, I promise.
I live in a big city, but I can smoke on the front porch, in my back yard, nothing ever happens, and it really wont ever either. Knock on wood. Sometimes people walk by and ask to hit it. I guess Chicago is a stoner city though.
