Don't leave your weed in this Denver hotel. A Texas stoner nearly had $200 go up in smoke when he left a stash of weed behind at a Denver hotel after a recent snowboarding trip, The Denver Post reported. Louis, who didn't give his last name, said he left a small amount of pot and a bubbler pipe behind when he checked out of the Hyatt Place Denver/Cherry Creek because he didn't want to fly home with them. Marijuana is legal in Colorado, but not Texas. It's also against the law to bring drugs on an airplane.
"I figured I'd leave it behind on the desk in case the maid wanted it. You know, positivity," Louis told the Post's marijuana lifestyle site The Cannabist. "They give you those cylindrical green jars, and I left about a half an eighth and another little bag, maybe a half a gram. It was sealed." Days later, Louis said he checked his bank account and saw the Hyatt had hit him with a $200 charge.
He called the hotel and was told he'd been charged for toking up in his room. Louis told the paper he never lit up indoors, only outside. "They said it stunk up the room and they couldn't use it for two days," he told the Cannabist. "That's ridiculous. I didn't even smoke in the room." Louis made a stink on Twitter and caught the attention of the hotel chain's concierge account. Corporate chiefs eventually got in touch with the Denver hotel and persuaded them to drop the charge. Louis said he never would have left the herb behind if he'd known it would lead to such a buzzkill.
"Some of us appreciate what's happening in Colorado," he told The Cannabist. "We're not going there to break the law or cause any trouble for anybody else."
