More details to this question:
Ive lived in my apartment for 4 yrs now. New neighbors smoke weed and cigarettes constantly. Its coming through the walls, pipes, outlets and AC vents. I can’t open my windows due to the cigarette smoke. Cant use the AC due to the marijuana smell. All of my possessions smell now. I failed a drug test for a potential new job and I don’t even smoke. I live in California.

Hello! You should contact your landlord and file a complaint with your landlord. You have a right to enjoy your home. Also, it's illegal to smoke indoors in CA. Your best option is to review your lease and take the issue up with your landlord. You may also want to consult with a real estate attorney well versed in landlord-tenant law. Good luck!
