2024 United States Cannabis-Friendly Hotels & Lodging
As we bounce back from the pandemic and the weather starts to warm as inflation continues to moderate, it’s no surprise that travel is on many people’s minds. A recent survey from Nationwide indicates that 91% of the individuals surveyed intend to travel domestically in 2024, with 40% planning to travel more than they did in 2023. That means that if you are reading this, chances are you currently experiencing wanderlust.
Good for you! Life is meant to be lived! With marijuana legalization sweeping the country, there is no longer any reason to vacation without your best bud, Mary Jane. In fact — why not specifically look into cannabis-friendly lodging for your next adventure? From finding the perfect cannabis-friendly hotel to the latest in bud and breakfasts, let’s explore what this new age of travel looks like.
What’s a Bud and Breakfast?
Think of a bed and breakfast — only better. Bud and breakfasts are smaller lodging establishments that offer the most important meal of the day, along with a place to legally consume cannabis. Because these are usually considered private property, property owners in legal states may allow consumption on-site, which means finding a cannabis-friendly hotel or bud and breakfast is now easier than ever before.
Perks of a Bud and Breakfast
Beyond being able to smoke, eat, dab or vape legal cannabis, visitors enjoy the perks of a clean, locally infused experience. What better way to understand the nuances of an area than through its newly legal cannabis market?
Bud and breakfasts also often have pre-existing relationships with nearby dispensaries and lounges, and can help guide you in the right direction during your stay! Additionally, bud and breakfast visitors often enjoy private kitchen and living area amenities. Denver, Colorado’s aptly named Bud & Breakfast even provides their guests with a free gram of flower for each night they stay.
What’s a Cannabis-Friendly Hotel?
As more and more states adopt legalization, many traditional hotels and resorts have become cannabis-friendly. Establishments ranging from boutique hotels to mystical mountain escapes to tropical villas are now allowing public consumption in designated areas for those who wish to enjoy.
Perks of Cannabis-Friendly Hotels
Cannabis friendly hotels provide guests with unique, often highly curated experiences. While there are still restrictions as to where one may consume cannabis, there are many hotels and resorts that now offer CBD and other hemp-infused spa experiences. Examples of some 420-themed offerings include:
- The Jupiter in Portland, Oregon with their OreGrown package
- San Francisco’s Hotel Kabuki Herbal Trip
- Lexi, the first cannabis hotel on Las Vegas’ famed Strip, which features top-notch amenities like in-room vaporizers and personalized cannabis concierge services
Cannabis Tourism Booking Sites
