> Marijuana smokers will still face fines of up to $600 if they light up in public places, including casinos, bars, restaurants, parks, and concert halls, and driving under the influence of the drug remains illegal.

Anybody know if that includes when you're in your hotel room or just on the open casino floor? If so, does "non-smoking room" apply to marijuana as well?

The key to paranoid consumption in casinos and hotels is the e-cig style vape pens. They're very inconspicuous and I've had many a craps session now where no one has batted an eye while I puffed on a vape pen every now and again. If you're spending money and being respectful, people in the hospitality and resort industry don't give a fuck.

Or request ozone generators outside the room. This seems surprisingly common.

It's not being treated the same as tobacco or alcohol. The article says it's legal 'Only in a private home, including yards and porches.' It's prohibited in casinos, bars, restaurants, parks, concerts and on U.S. property, from national forests to federally subsidized housing.

You can eat it anywhere.

forsooth!

Come to Seattle! The fine is only $27!

And is still just a conceptual idea, no one gets fined in the real world.
