I had stayed in 4-star downtown hotel over my birthday weekend. I brought my red card with me and intended to find a nearby park to medicate in. Other advice then lead me to believe medicating privately in my hotel room would be more considerate and not violating any laws. However, it does violate the hotel's no smoking policy, and subsequently I was charged $200 for violating that policy. I did not get angry and only remarked "I felt my patients rights permitted me to medicate privately as best I see fit and that I should not face subsequent punishment by additional fees, or be treated any differently at all than your other guests, even if it is in violation of your policy, as patients rights have a greater precedent." However, they did not agree with that perspective, which is their right, and charged my credit card the additional $200.

Now if I pursue this further, how should I best proceed? Should I contact their corporate office and see if they agree with my point of view and reverse the charges?

I also am uncertain if there are indeed legal rights for medical marijuana patients to rightfully medicate in their hotel room. Is this something that a civil case would have to dispute? That would be a big problem for me, as I don't have the time and money to invest in that, but would want to set the precedent for all other patients and make it clear one way or the other if medicating through inhalation (smoking, or vaporizing) is a patients right over a hotels policy.

So now I am seeking the communities thoughts, advice and comments. Thanks
