Adults-only Sir Sam’s Inn and Spa in the Haliburton Highlands, roughly a 2 1/2-hour drive north of Toronto, has been touted as the province’s first hotel/resort to welcome cannabis consumption by its guests, according to a press release from Cannabis Hotels, a website dedicated to the fledgling pot tourism industry.

The announcement should come as welcome news for cannabis consumers who are looking to escape the city for a relaxing getaway in cottage country that doesn’t require them to sneak off for a quick puff.

“Somewhere like Sir Sam’s, which is more of an experience resort and more of a boutique type of hotel, it gives them more leeway to move in that direction,” said Wendy Forwell, founder and CEO of Cannabis Hotels. “(Many hotel owners are) waiting to see what others do. It’s still very early days so they’re all holding back a little bit. Sir Sam’s is fully embracing this.”
