How to smoke weed in Washington DC hotel room.
#1 You have to let go of the joints. I quickly learned to switch to a pipe or a flower friendly vape if I wanted to have any hope of peace. You have to remember it is not a private residence.
#2 Stay in the bathroom and smoke! Don’t openly smoke weed in the room. You’re just asking to get caught by “Karen” walking by your room. Edibles are the only way to avoid the stink of weed completely. The hotel manager himself suggested this to me off the record. The aroma that comes along with grinding, rolling, burning, and exhaling is too conspicuous. That’s some shit you have to do outside, so either take it out of the hotel or don’t do it at all.
#3 Find something to neutralize the odor. I had to upgrade my air freshener. Febreze if you didn’t know, is code for stoner activity for the average hotel manager. Most stoners just spray it everywhere. It mixes with the existing scent, then it becomes obvious. Upgrade to a diffuser and clean burning soy candles like Cannabolish. Throw in some Volcano room spray for a fresh floral scent.
#4 Use a smoke buddy
