Top 7 Cannabis-Friendly Hotels in California | Culture

Many are now hoping that we are in the post-COVID days. As mask mandates are lifted across the country, people are starting to plan international trips canceled from the pandemic. If you're beginning to plan your next great vacation and especially enjoy the consumption of cannabis, the sunny oasis of California is likely on your list. For some excellent bud and breakfast, California is home to many 420-friendly spots.

Cannabis Friendly Hotels, Since When?

With an uptick in the legal recreational market and an overall greater acceptance of the substance on some level, weed is here to stay.

Those states who have hopped on the cannabis bandwagon are seeing positive returns across industries. One industry that has continued to flourish since legalized recreational weed and one that has recently been pushed to new heights is the tourism industry. People are booking trips and seeking out destinations that have cannabis within reach. Whether purchasing at a dispensary, participating in weed-themed excursions, or staying at one of the many 420-friendly hotels in California, weed is central to travel plans. Who knows, the next thing might be 420 vacations, all-inclusive style.

Not only are consumers seeking out their favorite strains, but they are also in need of a legal and safe space to consume the substance they've just purchased. People are constantly searching for the likes of 420-friendly places in San Diego, Venice, and the Santa Monica area - and some of their best options are weed-friendly lodging.

The first cannabis-friendly hotel opened in November of 2015 in Denver, Colorado, and the idea has taken the country by storm since.

Cannabis Friendly Hotels in California

Sunny California legalized cannabis in 2016, and the tourism industry surrounding it has exploded since then. When it comes to 420-friendly hotels, California has carved out a corner of the market - people are coming for the sunshine and staying for the weed.

Like all cannabis, there is much haze surrounding what is legal and what isn't. We all know that consuming cannabis in public is strictly prohibited, but what about hotels? There needs to be a safe space somewhere, right?

When it comes to 420-friendly vacations, California and its hotels have figured out a few different ways to allow their guests to consume. As hotels are private properties, some will allow guests to smoke on balconies or in open areas, such as gardens. Other weed-friendly options allow vaping in rooms, offer CBD-everything spa treatments or partner with weed delivery services.
