... and we had a couple who would have screaming matches on the deck at 3am. We had to call the cops on them many times.

The first place I rented was a run down multi-family home, and this one couple would LOUDLY scream at each other and threaten each other / themselves. We were concerned for a while it might be a domestic violence issue and thought of calling the cops. But then...after every shouting match, it'd switch to equally loud sex w/ the lady squealing like a pig, so we figured they were just trailer trash and decided to stay out of it...
It was a shit hole place to live, so unfortunately we just had to deal w/ stuff like that till we could get a better place. Glad it wasn't actually serious, like your experience...

Nothing wrong with not doing drugs but how do you reach adulthood not knowing what marijuana smells like

I've smelled marijuana before, but not in a long damn time. I hardly remember it, but this...did not smell like how I remembered it. Maybe it was, but I didn't think so and really can't be sure.

Because it didnt start until 1 AM.

Actually, I was being generous. It started like 12:30 or so. Earlier in the day, people were loading up a U-Haul and moving out, so at first I thought the voices were them. They're not supposed to move stuff that late, but whatever...they'd be leaving. Only after a while of the talking persisting did I look out and not see a U-Haul and then wonder WTF it was, then? Saw their backs through my peep hole in the door and realized it was people just "chilling out" there. Initially just heard talking, but got more obnoxious and brazen as the night went on. So then I struggled internally for a while if I should just wait it out, or try to talk to them, should I really call the police?, etc.... till I finally had enough.

But also Im probably less picky and have always had nice apartments. I also dont mind hearing my neighbors on odd occasion because I have earplugs, as long as it isnt a regular thing. You probably couldve also just politely asked them to be quiet instead of calling the police and had your problem solved an hour earlier. But also its fine that you did call them.

You're the guy who thought it's fine to put a surround sound system in your apartment and said if people didn't like noise, they shouldn't live in an apartment, so I'm gonna take your views on the matter w/ a grain of salt...
The problem with talking to them is...these are not considerate people, otherwise they'd not be doing this in the first place. If I make my issue known w/ the ass holes and later call the cops, they'll know it was me. Hell, if someone else calls the cops, they'll assume it was me. And now they know where I live and can make my life hell.
