Hotel Searches Soar For Cannabis Legal States

[Jacob Redmond]

Searches have skyrocketed for hotels in U.S. states where marijuana possession for recreational use is legal or soon will be legal, reported Hotels.com.

Colorado hotel searches rose 51% last year, while searches for Washington state jumped 61% during the second half of last year, Hotels.com said. Both states legalized marijuana possession beyond medical purposes last July 1.

Meanwhile, Oregon will legalize recreational marijuana possession this July. Room searches for stays between July and September have jumped 25%, while travel searches for Portland are up 64%.

Last year, Denver hotels' revenue per available room (RevPAR) jumped 16% form a year earlier, the second-largest jump among the largest 25 U.S. markets, according to STR (Nashville had the largest jump). Seattle hotels' 2014 RevPAR was up 13%, outpacing the U.S. RevPAR increase of 8.3%.

Confusing.... are they searching for legal marijuana in rooms occupied by legal adults?

Is it illegal to leave marijuana unattended?

Or are the cops just looking for free weed?

If they want to keep people from leaving freebies for the next guest, just put "cannabis for the homeless" drop boxes at airports, hotel lobbies, and roads leading out of town.

I believe the hotel searches they are referring to in this article are online searches for hotel rooms in states where MJ is or will be legal.

Being considerably less euphoria intoxicated than before, your explanation makes perfect, indeed obvious, sense

Thanks
