Roommates smoking weed
This isn’t so much a friendship question as it about roommates. I recently moved to this new place. Everything was fine until one of my roommates started smoking weed. The smell is nauseating and I honestly don’t want the stuff in my system. I’m getting very pissed off, especially when the place has a policy against alcohol, drugs and tobacco. I don’t want to out them, but I also don’t think they’ll stop just because I asked them to.
What should I do? Should I ask them to stop smoking? This is the first time this is happening to me. I don’t know what I should do. By the way, they’re also aged 18-19, so I’m pretty sure its underage use of the stuff as well.

I agree with solid advice for teens, you do need to say something, because until you do, they are not going to know how it makes you ill to smell it. And yes, you can be nice in how you tell them. Although smoking in a separate room indoors or going outside if drugs are prohibited will not work. My daughter lives in such apts and I've stayed the night with her sometimes when visiting. I use marijuana for insomnia which has gotten worse as I get older. used mine outside and when she went out a few minutes later to take out trash, she still smelled the scent and told me if anyone figured out who had used pot, she might get in trouble. I do not smoke joints or in a pipe with just the dried leaves. I use a vaporizer. We know people who use these on their break time to deal with stressful jobs as most people can't pick up any odor unless their nose is as sensitvie as my daughters. Me, I have to use it to get sleep. Your roommates are likely using as recreation which is fine as I don't see it as a terrible drug tho some still feel it is a gateway drug to other drugs. So my suggestion is that you definitely plant the idea in their head to try other options if they want to continue. If using a vaporizer, the pen style contraptions made for that do not really work well at all and break down quickly. If they decide they are seriously going to continue for whatever reason, vaping may still be the best way to go or edibles. But I would recommend going on line and ordering a vape module that is bigger than the pen, its a bit bigger than old clam phones and a prefilled tip or one you get that you can refill will screw into the top. Since there is barely any odor using that, as I said, even a sensitive nose will pick it up. So I use a pillow to exhale in. My sister who is ill and uses, told me that odor can't be detected when exhaling into a pillow. I don't know if it helps when smoking buds but it is worth a try to mention to roommates and is not a hassle to do. Hope this helps.

If you are in Canada it's legal provided it's in your own dwelling. The fact is they aren't apt to quit for anybody any time time soon. Making a big deal out of it may cause tension for the entire time you are there which will make things tough.
I would mention to them that you value their friendship and their right to smoke marijuana when they choose even though it's not your deal. Mention that your system is highly sensitive and the smell makes you feel ill.
Tell them it's nothing personal but can we compromise and have you do it in the washroom and turn the fan on and or step out back and come back in when done smoking? This way you're not causing them an issue but are also dealing with your concerns without causing a potential rift.
You should also ask them if there's a way for them to obtain the strain they use in pill, spray or edible form from a dispensiary or whatever their source is as that will not involve a stentch.
