There are some exceptions to these rules. Namely, situations exist where private residences also function as enclosed workplaces. This includes: long-term care homes, retirement homes, supportive housing residences, psychiatric facilities, and facilities for veterans. In these spaces, residents will be able to consume cannabis so long as (1) there is a room designated as a controlled area for smoking/vaping cannabis; (2) the resident who desires to use the room may do so safely without the assistance of an employee; (3) the room is limited to residents of the residence; and (4) the room is an enclosed space that is properly ventilated, controlled (with appropriate signage to this effect), and meets any additional requirements set by the regulations.
Exceptions also apply to certain criteria for consumption in hotels, motels, and inns. Cannabis may be consumed in certain circumstances where: (1) the person is a registered gest of the hotel, motel, or inn, or the invited guest of a registered guest; (2) the guest room is designed primarily as a sleeping accommodation; (3) the guest room has been designated as one that accommodates the use of cannabis by management; (4) the guest room is fully enclosed by floor-to-ceiling walls, and ceiling and doors that separate it physically from any adjacent area in which consumption is prohibited; and/or (5) any other requirements.
