Or like happened to me in a hotel last summer where someone on my floor was smoking marijuana so heavily in their room it filled up the entire floor with smoke - at a completely non-smoking hotel.
If I expect the OP to be courteous enough not to smoke where it's not allowed, I should be courteous enough to not get offended when he uses the places where it clearly is allowed.
The problem is it was pot which others would have a right to complain about because it's not allowed. The issue is whether he should be charged a cleaning fee. Likely there was pot smell still in the room when he left for what ever reason, drift or transfer from clothing. There have been a few good cases made in his defense though. He wasn't smoking What he was allowed Where he was allowed.
