You're missing my point. If they didn't like the smell of something legal, such as dog shit, or curry, they wouldn't be allowed to call the police. The fact that it's pot smell really is arbitrary.
Sure, they can call the police when they get annoyed, but that's only because they can!! Most minor annoyances in life, you can't call the police for. Sure, we should be respectful of each other, but should the punishment really be imprisonment or large fines? Let's say indian food was illegal for health reasons, don't you think it would be manipulative to call the police just because of the smell rather than health concerns?
(Btw, that original comic was from a blog. I made the hypothetical response to post here)

The woman upstairs rang the police cus she is sick of the smell and tbh there seems little point in asking you politely it seems so maybe she felt she had no choice , altho i also agree that some people just ring the police cus that what there like , but the person across the hall is doing you a favor imo .... they could of said nothing and reported you to police or landlord etc .....
