As more places in the U.S. have legalized or decriminalized marijuana, and more travelers are interested in using marijuana during their vacations, are cannabis-friendly hotels on the rise – and have they gotten more luxurious?

In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin and senior hotels editor Christina Jelski talk with Jim Roberts and Brian Adkinson, the co-owners of the Madrones and the Brambles, two boutique properties in Mendocino County, Calif., where their onsite dispensary and cannabis program has taken inspiration from wine tourism.

Plus, we discuss how the tourism sector is growing and how hotels and inns can balance appealing to both marijuana users and guests who don't partake.
