AirTHC Aims to Connect Weed-Friendly Homeowners and Travelers


Presumably, folks visiting Colorado for a bit of "weed tourism" will want somewhere to enjoy the fruits of their travels. But until more cannabis cafes proliferate, what's a vacationing stoner to do? It can be hard to hide the smell of marijuana in a hotel, and most Airbnb hosts make no mention of their pot policies. Plus Colorado law prohibits smoking weed in any public places. Enter airTHC.
Building on Airbnb's short-term rental model, airTHC connects travelers with marijuana-friendly vacation rentals, "ensuring that you'll have a private space of your own to smoke—legally—while you stay in Colorado."
As with Airbnb, both property owners and potential renters fill out a profile. "As you stay in places you acquire a reputation," Jordan Conner, airTHC's co-founder, told CBS Denver. "You will also be able to contact the person before they come and stay in your place."
So far, more than 30 property owners have signed up with airTHC. The owners plan to launch to renters "in the very near future," co-founder Greg Drinkwater says.

I can see the feds jumping on them really fast because it's an easy score. (No pun intended).
Yeah, no shit. Just advertising this over the.internet is.probably enough.to.trigger."interstate commerce" justification of.such a beat down.
Isn't there a law in place prohibiting travel (to another country) for the express purpose of violating American drug laws?
Not that I know of. I think there's something about child prostitution, though.
I have no idea how that could be legal in any fashion.
If I'm in another country, I'm no longer subject to the authority of the US.
Try not paying income tax on earnings when working overseas, and see how that works.
Hell, try being a foreign national, working in a foreign country, on something that Americans can access that is illegal inside the US and see how that works.
Hahahahaha. So na?ve.
I would love to sue a rental location if me or my children ever inhaled second hand marijuana fumes.
