I am a little confused. You seem to be saying that the police said that you WERE smoking weed on New Year's Day. Did I misunderstand you?
Is your son getting a drug test as well? Are you sure that your son is not smoking weed when you are not home?

What state are you in?
In most states complaining to your landlord or the police is not criminal harassment.

I live in the state of Georgia
If it's not harassment then I am being falsely accused of something I am not doing and need to know what I can towards them
Re: File Harassment Complaint on My Neighbor
You need to stop smoking weed in your apartment. Seventeen year old sons sometimes really lie, but he can be controlled. That's the solution, not doing something "toward them." If you try to retaliate, your behavior could morph over into the criminal very quickly and you'll need more legal counsel than on how to sue your neighbor for complaints. Is it maybe that they're smoking in their apartment and trying to put it off on you? If so, have you complained?

It is not criminal harassment. Georgia doesn't even have a criminal harassment statute.

Your landlord can evict you for non-payment of rent or violating terms of the lease but still must do so through the court system. That takes a lot longer than 5 days.
Here is a good article that explains GA eviction procedures.

Stop smoking weed, and start using punctuation.
