I can see that second hand pot smoke could affect your drug test. If that's your concern, ask to be moved.

Since this is FT, imagine if your pilot smelled of pot as s/he entered the aircraft (the smell does cling to clothing, after all). They might just get pulled from the flight (can't afford to take chances) and find themselves peeing into a cup. Depending on just how much smoke infiltrated into their room, they might fail the test - possibly with serious consequences to their career.
Yes. I already stated that of that's your concern, ask the hotel to move you to another floor.

There maybe ways to get around drug use. Someone who doesn't do pot may not know. I don't.
You apply for a job that requires security clearance.
On your form, you state you don't do drugs.
Your drug tests positive.

The Govt, your employer, may think, you lied.
Now the onus is on you to convince your employer that the positive result of the drug test was not due to your drug use.
