Sometimes, someone just has to say it
So realizations today. There was a letter on everyone's door in my apartment complex. The note was addressing the fact that the hall ways were smelling like pot. This is not a respectful thing to do as a smoker. If you don't have a house that isnt crop dusting the neighbors house. You should not be smoking the way your are if it is filling the halls.
The rule to follow on how not to be an ass, or get in trouble, is respect your neighbors.
This being said, I wanted to just shoot some advice to you guys who might not know. I have a few ways that have got me through the 3 years I have lived here in my apartments, and no one has a clue I smoke.
1. Don't smoke joints or blunts. These not only are wasteful but also produce loads of smoke, and it will cause second hand High. The THC has not been absorbed by the lungs and there for the smoke is still capable of getting others high. Joints are the worst way to smoke, despite some peoples affinity for them.
2. Don't smoke near your doors. This is common sense. If you live in apartments like me, you need to smoke far away from your front door.
3. Control the smoke. Opening a window can be risky and get you into trouble fast, while blowing a lung full out it can be harmless, if you are producing lots of smoke, don't open them. My best advice is to get filters. Smoke buddys are a carbon filter with mouth piece for you to exhale into. It allows clean air and a happy stoner. It is also great for those trying to keep their house/apartment from smelling like weed.
4. Seals seals seals. Check your doors, check your windows. Check the escape routes for smoke. I replaced the seals on my apartment door the second day I lived in it. This could be the biggest aid to help keep you safe and everyone away from it.
5. Self grooming. Keep yourself fresh and smoke free. Change your shirt when you go out if you have too. Don't smell of it and for god's sake, if you are carrying, use a proper air tight container.
Remember, there are people who don't like it, and don't want around it. Don't be a dick and say that they have to accept it. It is important to respect your neighbors and those who don't share the same interest. Thank you guys, and good evening.

Move to a state where it is legal. Then smoke outside at least 15 feet from any doorway or window, just like nicotine smokers are required to do.
Also consider edibles, which produce no smoke.
My building doesn't allow any kind of indoor smoking, but you can smoke pot openly on your balcony and everything is a-okay. There were a bunch of people smoking and play Pokemon Go at the park the other day.
I do not smoke because I have too many other hobbies, but many people do, including my next door neighbors and some of my friends, and also some of my friends' parents.
