Please take the bong back inside the room

[bhskittykatt]

I love this time of year. The tourism season is over, all the legitimate tourists are gone, and the interesting characters start to trickle in.

This morning, my maintenance man brought up a bong and two pipes he found outside on one of the room's AC units. We kept them in the back office to see if anyone was brave enough to claim them.

I really don't care what a guest does in the room as long as (A) it doesn't damage the hotel property and (B) it doesn't disturb or scare away the other guests. Seeing a bong and two pipes propped up outside a room doesn't present a good image to other guests. So please, keep your bongs inside and out of sight from me!

UPDATE!

So apparently the bong and pipes were found inside a cloth bag. So far TWO people have come up looking for said bag. However when we pull out what's inside, we get "Oh, no, that's not MY bag, I had *insert innocent item* in it! Nono, mine looks like that but that's not mine!"

My old hotel would call the police if we smelled pot from inside the room, regardless of whether other guests complained or not.

Once we had a whole flight crew that had to be walked because the hallway their rooms were in smelled of pot (they couldn't stay in those rooms and we were full because the exposure could cause them to fail drug screening). The culprits were of course taken away by police

A discrete stoner is a good stoner. One of the benefits of not smoking anymore (I just have too damn much to lose if I got caught) is no more having to hang around way too bold idiots.

I had gotten to the point where I could smoke a pipe sitting on the love-seat and someone on the couch right next to it couldn't tell I was smoking pot (shocked my anti-pot brother with how well I could kill the smell). I hate people who leave pipers, papers, stems, seeds, grinders and other assorted trouble inviting crap around. I used to spend lots of time lecturing people on stupid things like "dude, you have a grinder sitting in PLAIN view on the center console of your car and your DRIVING!!!, IF you get pulled over your FUCKED!!!". I'd get replies like "the police wouldn't know what it is" or "they cant search me without permission". Another subset I hate, the stoner that wear clothes and jewelry with pot leaves on them, blech. I never had to prove to people how "cool" I was by smoking, frankly I just like what it did to my mind and body and it was a very private special thing best enjoyed in moderation.

One hit through a covered pipe putting a lighter over it after and exhaling into a tightly rolled up towel and your good, you'll catch a decent buzz and someone would have to be sitting in your lap to smell it. Why can't people learn.

Our owners & managers have us be descreet as possible. If someone is smoking weed we usually can't pinpoint it. If we found such items, said names would be on our banned lists. Our guests are too picky & mean to even allow smoking rooms in our hotel...so...lol Most of the time I hold your beliefs, if they aren't bothering anyone then I don't care.

As far as I am concerned, and I lived with a guy who couldn't leave the house without being stoned, no matter how much you try to cover it up I will still smell it cuz I can't stand that crap. I even grew up with cig smokers.

I have been exposed to many people who smoke weed, as far as I am concerned none of them are "descrete" enough. That smell takes over the world. I live in an apartment building & that shit flows out of apartments both through closed windows and doors. I even asked my boyfriend the other day why they think no one can smell that crap. He had no idea, either. Not to mention that I smell it on people...

So, the lesson from my little rant is this: I ALWAYS SMELL IT. I don't do well with smells of any kind as it is, so I might be extra-sensitive.

It's a bad idea especially in a hotel...

I even had some people try to check in & ask if they can smoke weed in a smoking room...

[Angry_Hippie]

I respect that Hippie. If I was in a position to still use marijuana you are one person I'd respect enough not to use anywhere near (if I was your past roommate you wouldn't have had to put up with that crap, tell me once and I'm not smoking in a place I share with someone). I believe in personal freedom to a large extent but too many pot smokers are downright in-your-face assholes. They are delusional to the point where they are convinced they can smoke a huge joint or a blunt (the slinkiest way to smoke pot known to man or beast) and then get offended when other people smell it (these are the people that make whole hotel and apartment hallways reek). I also am one of those people where I find the less I smoke the more I enjoy it, it was most pleasant when it was a once ever 6 months or so treat compared to being almost nothing when high everyday.

I do have a hotel pot story from a guest, I was making a reservation for this guy that was obviously VERY "crunchy" (the amount of times he called me "man!" and "dude!" was impressive). He was super duper adamant about getting a smoking room and he requested not to be near an elevator or a stairwell (so I have the aha moment of possible "paranoid stoner" or just someone who REALLY wanted quiet). I pass his request onto the front desk (I don't do room assignment) but add on the stipulation of not being near other guests if possible (possible to do depending on how rooms were blocked because it's vegas midweek where our occupancy goes from the 90's on the weekend to 60's and 70's). I hope he got a room that fit his wishes without bothering others. He was a super mellow nice guy who gambled on average $5xx a day and he was super shocked and polite that we had a free room for him (I love when people are grateful for their freebies).

Come one Hippie, if that’s the comparison your working from than of course your going to smell the stuff. The smell alone is going to permeate every bit of clothing they own, just like a cigarette smokers would. Do it like A.H. did - once every 6 months or so, and you don’t really get that problem, there just isn’t enough build up for the smell to stay in place. Myself, haven’t done that in such a long time hair follicle tests would pass on me. Ahh my early youth.

Have to admit I’m sort of curious as to what would have happened if someone had shown up to reclaim said items. Some of the smokers I knew would have given them up (as in we don’t want to be caught) and others were just dumb.

Some people are just better at hiding it than others. There's someone I know who I've stood right next to after they've been blazing, and I can't smell anything.

My brother used a coffee grinder. But it stayed at home.

They are delusional to the point where they are convinced they can smoke a huge joint or a blunt (the slinkiest way to smoke pot known to man or beast) and then get offended when other people smell it (these are the people that make whole hotel and apartment hallways reek).

Blunts have got to be the nastiest most disgusting smelling things you could ever contrive to smoke, right after actual cigars.

There is just something about cigar wrappings that is beyond foul and the flavored ones make me want to hurl worse than the smell of coffee, and that's enough to keep me out of the office kitchen in the morning.

The smell alone is going to permeate every bit of clothing they own, just like a cigarette smokers would.

It's not the clothes that the smell gets into.

I don't know why so many smokers (of anything) don't notice this more, but when you smoke, whatever you're smoking affects the smell of your sweat. So it doesn't matter how clean your clothes are or how often you bathe, if you sweat at all, and you're more than a casual (once a week or less) smoker, then you're going to smell like either nicotine or the stuff in pot. Of course, if you smoke both, most people won't notice the pot smell over the nicotine and death-breath smell.

Some people are just better at hiding it than others. There's someone I know who I've stood right next to after they've been blazing, and I can't smell anything.

Part of it depends on what they're smoking. Some of the really bottom-shelf stuff tends to have rather little scent.

Actually, I'm surprised more surreptitious growers don't breed for stealth pot. *shrug*

^-.-^

I have a karate classmate who smokes cigarettes (tobacco) and his sweat reeks of nicotine.

thats nice

well thats just nice for a hotel not to worry about pot heads like you do. thats niceeeeeeee. sweeeeeet

[hinakiba777]

I don't know how my hotel feels about pot smoking. i guess if it's in a smoking room we don't care.

I will now list every instance of my smoking weed ever.
1) My graduation party. We hot boxed a tent and my friend passed it from her mouth to mine. We called it a shotgun, but different people call it different things
2) With my older brother on a wednesday after my first year of university! It was awesome, except I chocked
3) Later that summer. Sadly this was my first time inhaling, and the people I was with grabbed me around the ribs and made me choke.
4) Random girl in February of second year. She walked down the street with it. I had to chaser her to get some. It made me a little freaked out.
5) A few weeks ago(fourth year uni). I took my first hit, we passed it around. I was last, the second last girl took her second and tossed it to the ground, snubbing it out with her boot.
6) later that night, just me and my friend.

And those are all the times i have ever smoked cannabis in my life ^-^

I'll take them.

"the police wouldn't know what it is" or "they cant search me without permission".

hah.

most police know what it is
and if they see it that gives them probable cause to search

in the check-it-out threads there was a post about some videos of cops doing traffic stops. one of the stops, the cops smelled the pot and searched... found a stash and a bong, and yes they knew what it was.

i think there was another one where they had a dog search too.

and there were some creative hiding places... including a hidden compartment in the steering wheel if i'm not mistaken.

but the cops found it all.

I will now do the same:






...This has been a list of all the times I've smoked weed. Thank you for reading.

[Dave1982]

I'll take them.

I was wondering how long it'd be before someone said that.
