Sometimes I smell marijuana in my backyard, even inside my house, and I think it's coming from the house next door. I do not know my neighbor, as it's a rental property. It really doesn't bother me (too much), so I am wondering if I should just ignore it or report it anonyomously to the PD.

Don't report them if they're using small personal use. However, if you start seeing cars loads pull up and leave, that would be sure signs that they probably are dealing it then. You could call then if you notice this.
I used to wonder what my neighbors thought about me sometimes...however, I always tried to be respectful and wait real late at night and go out in the backyard (and only if neighbors windows were closed).

Well, as a well meaning citizen, of course you should call. However, consider this: Would you rather have the police at your place, sniffing around trying to find the source of the smoke, or out fighting real crime? You're gonna feel awful if someone gets shot cause all the cops in town are busy sniffing for weed.
And if they catch them, they confiscate the weed and hand them a ticket.
Now, if you see cars coming and going at all hours of the day and night, that's an entirely different situation. Drug houses tend to attract guns. If that's the case, you really should call.

If you don't know the source of the smell, there isn't much you can do about it. Make sure it is not someone in your back yard that is doing the smoking. If it is and that peron is arrested for such, you can be charged also since the ''crime" is/was being committed on your property. Without a definitive source or proof, I would suggest ignoring it.

I smell it all the time coming from the apartment below me..ugh I hate the smell and it sickens me..I kinda leave at where it is because what someone does in the privacy of their own home is none of my business..and in your case your business...
if its a thing where you think they are dealing drugs from out of their house..then yes you should tip the police off because drug dealers can bring some pretty bad crime into your neighborhood...but if your just smelling it and these people are not harming you...just leave it...calling the police could end up causing you more harm then any good

Ignore it... smoking marijuana is like drinking beer, as long as they don't drive I don't have a problem with them. Only call the police if they start going really really wild over there.

why waste your time or the police. now if it's bothering you try closing your windows or the doors. i don't think the police care to much about it being smoked in someone's home.

If you can definately determine where it's coming from then you can call. If you call and don't know where it's coming from, they will show up and agree with you that they don't know where it's coming from, and leave. Plus it would be taking them from doing other things. But if you definately know where it's coming from then they can act on it.

Why would you even consider reporting it?
Live and let live.
