“4/20 Friendly” Meaning: What’s in a Name?
Before we discuss hotels, we should discuss what’s so ‘friendly’ about the term “4/20 friendly.”
4/20 friendly hotels differ from most hotels because they have designated spaces where guests are allowed to smoke marijuana, specifically.

Usually, these spaces include the rooms themselves, which are private and don’t disturb other guests. But keep in mind that the policies may differ from one hotel to the next. While each of them allows marijuana use in some form, they might not allow it in the same places or form.
1. The Jupiter
There are hotels that allow marijuana and those that encourage it. The Jupiter Hotel is one of the latter.
This Portland, Oregon hotel is one of the mainstays of any Oregon cannabis outing. It offers a package that comes with vape pens, coupons to local dispensaries, and almost everything you need for a good smoke sesh, except the cannabis itself.
