Indoor smoking/drug use continues to be a problem today in Building E of the South 67 Condos; while I've been smelling cigarette smoke & drugs in my unit since probably around 6:25 AM, the sources are still unverified.  I know where it's coming from, but without verification, I can't really text Charles so he can take care of it (calling the police on drug use & calling the owners personally if cigarettes).  Normally I try to verify the source before I start a log (health problems start getting logged locally as soon as they start happening regardless), but considering it's just getting stronger & stronger (which isn't uncommon for weekends, especially Sundays), I decided to start the log without verification since what was posted yesterday did get the guy in E12 to take his habit outside for several hours; with any luck, the new log will do the same today.

Health problems from indoor pollution today:

• Blurry Vision
• Chest Pains
• Coughing
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Hoarse Voice
• Nausea
• Ringing Ear
• Sore Throat

UPDATE:  It appears at this point I've been able to verify the origin of the drug smell & it's actually coming from E26, not E12.  No cover-up smell this time, just the same smell I usually smell coming from E12.  At this point the culprit is in E26 & I could text Charles to have him call the police.

UPDATE:  Due to the pollution coming from E26 early this morning, I currently have a splitting headache & have decided I need to go back to bed ill for a little while to try & sleep it off.  At least the pollution has subsided a bit at this point (9:20 AM); hopefully it won't be present again when I wake back up...

UPDATE:  Indoor drug use appears to continue to be a problem as of 3:45 PM, currently the source is undetermined.  An update will be posted later if I can determine the source.

Seems I may have made a mistake over the past few days in assuming drug use was coming from E12 & effecting E22 (among other units, including my own); not that I'm saying this hasn't been very possible in the past, but currently I'm not sure I believe that anymore.  The person I saw outside yesterday looked like the same person that was heading outside to the same spot near the dumpsters today, however he was coming from upstairs when I saw him, presumably from E22 based on where I saw him when I stepped outside of my unit.  I know they're still doing work on that unit, so it seems it might be one of the workers repairing that unit that might be causing the pollution.  I'm going to watch this for a while & try to determine whether it's really coming from E12 or if it's people actually in E22 doing it (personally I didn't think that people working on a unit would cause a drug problem, although I guess anything is possible).

UPDATE:  The drug use is defiantly coming from E12, so the question is why was he on the top floor coming from E22 when he lives on the bottom floor?  In any case any assumption that the workers were at fault appears to be inaccurate, it's just E12 choosing to not walk 10 feet out the front door of the building from the front door of their unit to be considerate to the rest of us (I don't really care if they're doing the drugs or not, but if they continue doing them inside, they risk having the police called on them for illegal drug use).  The police were here yesterday on a domestic dispute, I'm really wishing I had pointed out the drug use to them while they were here...

UPDATE:  Given the secondhand drug use is getting so bad from E12 & nothing I'm doing is deterring them from doing it (logs or noise pollution in response to it), I decided to text Charles about it to get him to call the police on them.  I was going to wait until after the police came to post this update so they could be caught in the act, but considering I'm being forced back to bed ill again from their pollution (second time today), I'm just going to post the update now & head to bed.  Charles is going to get an idea of how serious I am in getting this issue resolved tomorrow when he gets contacted by the BBB requesting contact details for the HOA of these condos (no complaint has been filed yet, but that's going to come later if I don't see any progress on the matter).

UPDATE:  Looks like some moron in the building (I expect one of those causing the indoor secondhand pollution) keeps taking down that small note I put out there in the foyer trying to get people to realize these logs are here (particularly those causing the problem) & hopefully deter them from continuing to cause the problem day, after day, after day as they have been doing for almost 2 years now.  I can keep putting it back up as many times as needed (I've already done it 3 times today); the simple way to stop it from being put back up (as well as stopping the logs with potential cleanup after a week) would be for them to stop causing the pollution, but apparently they want to take the long route & continue these logs getting posted every single day until either I die from the pollution or I'm able to move from this health hazard caused by human filth with no morals.
