Juristic want's to ban weed possession in the building - are there other weed free condos?

I completely agree. These political references have nothing to do with weed smoking or any new condo rules about it. The real issue here is the use of weed in a condo and the potential disruption it may cause to other residents.
 

Yet throughout this discussion, I’ve noticed several replies where people use terms like Woke or Karen. Whenever I hear those words, I just cringe. I don’t care what they’re meant to represent; they’re simply modern American stereotypes used to label behavior. I also tend to dislike newer forms of American slang. Words like these often lack humor, wit, or any clever use of the English language.

 

To me, such terms are both meaningless and repugnant and I don't want to add to that kind of discourse by even responding to them. I also generally avoid engaging with people who use them all together, as it suggests a lack of independent thought and a weak reliance on cliched slurs instead of any meaningful expression. Resorting to these labels reflects an inability to describe situations without leaning on divisive rhetoric drawn from political pop culture or cancel culture.

 

You’d never catch me using words like these, or anything similar, even if someone’s behavior aligns perfectly with their definitions. I prefer to express my thoughts in my own words. The last thing I ever want is to be labeled part of a movement where people blindly follow the lead dog, stuck with a narrow, unchanging perspective of something that lacks any substance to begin with.

 

Hate to be a woke Karen but wouldn't cringe fall into modern vocabulary cliche ? 😅😅

Is it? But it's not modern American politically divisive driven slang like the current uses newly assigned to those other 2 words.
 

The word cringe was first recorded in 1175–1225 from Middle English and its meaning, the way I used it, was already derived hundreds of years ago.

Wonderful idea. 👍🏼

I lived more than 10 years in such condominium. The best! no smoking, very strict to kitchens etc.

Lovely. You are a lucky man. There used to be another foreigner who lived on my floor many years ago and chain smoked cigarettes in his room. He lived there for years, and I never even met him once as my understanding was that he was incapacitated and never left the apartment. He also drank incessantly. Once every month or so, I would see a case of the large sized Sang Som bottles, empty and placed out in the corridor for the maids to dispose of. 
 

There was another woman living on my floor, who despised the smell of smoke, and she used to plaster the walls outside of his apartment door with no smoking stickers on a regular basis. It didn't change anything though. He probably never even knew the stickers were there. 
 

In our building, we also have an air ventilation system, which feeds into every bathroom, however, all of the ventilation of everyone's bathroom is connected to the same line of air ducts. A terrible design. So it means if somebody is smoking down the hall, the smoke will eventually pass through the ventilation ducts in the bathroom and into your apartment. I discovered that early on and plugged up the ventilators in my bathroom. So I never have to deal with anybody else's smelly backfires. 
 

I think the guy who smoked heavily eventually passed away, either during Covid or just shortly before then. While he was living there, I used to see his girlfriend or wife going in and out of the building regularly. She was always very polite and I always said hello, but I never inquired any further about him. Then one day, the smell was gone and so was she. So I just assume assumed that he passed away and she moved out. So sometimes time can also fix a problem.

I suppose they'll downgrade to try to prohibit smoking and try to get it passed. They've passed some stuff in the past that turned out to be illegal. Does anyone know of other weed-free condos? Can this be legal?

 

Due to the juristic person having received complaints from co-owners and residents about smoking cannabis
inside the building, resulting in an unpleasant smell, causing annoyance, and the smell of cannabis affecting the
health of other residents and children.
The juristic person therefore requests a resolution in the meeting to set measures for handling cannabis use
in the building in order to continue living together peacefully. The details of the management are as follows:
1. Prohibit co-owners and residents from using and possessing cannabis in The Whacky Condominium.
2. If an investigation and evidence of a violation are found to have actually been committed, a fine of 5,000
baht will be imposed.
3. If violators are found, the condominium juristic person can immediately take legal action (based on the Public
Health Act B.E. 2535 and its amendments (No. 3) B.E. 2560, Section 27 or Section 28).

Your probably better off drafting the wording to include smoking of any type: ie, tobacco, vaping and cannabis or other substances. I believe legally you can only designate that for common areas but not inside owned condos. You can add language that use (smoke\smell) from inside a condominium can not infringe on air quality in adjacent common areas or within other condominiums.  I would also confirm who actually owns the balconies as some building they are "exclusive use but actually owned as part of the master entity" of the building and you should include those areas as well.

My condo bans shisha, 5,000 baht fine. I’m very happy with this rule.

Using is one thing.  Proving possession is a different animal.

I don't think anyone should be producing any kind of smoke in a condo. Whether it's from a joint, a cigarette, a cigar, cooking food, etc. Shouldn't be permitted.

How exactly are the office staff going to perform an investigation and gather evidence?

 

Only ‎Murders Marijuanas in the Building

Bunch of Karens.

People have the right to enjoy the space within their condos.

What's next?

Criminalizing odorous stir fries? 

 

I would take weed smell over whatever the lady in the apartment across the hall is cooking any day.

Holy <deleted>e whatever that dish is, peeeuuu.

She might be frying something using shrimp paste. The smell is wretched. The first time somebody showed me that stuff it was hard to even believe that it was a food item.

How about farts?

Should occupants be compelled to wear fart guards?

That's gas. Not smoke.

I can't understand how woke has anything to do with weed smoking.  

It's a very broad brush stroke when painting a picture of wowsers and w/anchors.

[J Branche]

Myself and others I've talked to agree the weed smell is offensive.

 

Surprised they haven't cultivated a similar variety that smells different or less offensive.

 

Otherwise don't really care if someone indulges or not.
