Why is there no room 420 in hotels?

Some hotels are playing it even more safe by removing room 420 altogether from their room numbers. It´s kind of a superstitious move – the same way hotels went mad some decades ago and removed level 13 and room number 13. Other hotels have been even more creative with their solution, labelling room 420 as “419 + 1”.

Any herb enthusiast is well acquainted with the term “420” and what it means in cannabis culture. Apparently, hotel companies around the USA are also well aware of this piece of stoner slang. In fear that stoners will hotbox the room 420 or hijack the number on the door, some hotels have completely avoided having a room 420 altogether.

Room 420 thieves

Almost every stoner around the world is familiar with 420. This has meant that hotels have generally suffered at the hands of stoner deviants who like to steal hotel door signs that say 420 just for laughs. Out of frustration, hotel owner’s and staff have gone so far as to remove the 420 signs from the door and just stencil it on. That way no stoners can walk past and steal the room number from the door.

Stoners don’t need an excuse to hot box

Some hotels are playing it even more safe by removing room 420 altogether from their room numbers. It´s kind of a superstitious move – the same way hotels went mad some decades ago and removed level 13 and room number 13. Other hotels have been even more creative with their solution, labelling room 420 as “419 + 1”. However, this looks like something a stoner would probably want to steal more. The reality of this situation is that a room doesn’t really need to be labelled “420” for stoners to have a reason to hot box it. Hotel owners are probably being a little bit enthusiastic by thinking that taking down the room number will deter deviant stoners from enjoying a joint or two in there, especially in states where it is legal! Well, whether it’s 4:20 on the clock, or 420 on the room number, stoners will be waiting to celebrate their favorite herb and their favorite time of day. So if you want your local hotels to say marijuana friendly, please don’t go stealing the room numbers. Have you ever stolen or stayed in room 420? Let us know your thoughts on our social media or in the comments below.

Patinas take a long time to form naturally on the surfaces of metals, but you can use household items to create the effect on your chosen piece much more quickly. Before you start patinating, wash your piece of metal thoroughly, since fingerprints or other marks can damage your patina. Then, make a solution out of equal parts salt and white vinegar that’s sufficient to completely submerge your metal. You’ll need to soak the metal in the solution for half an hour. If you want a more intense patina, add some hydrogen peroxide and additional salt to the solution. The amount of hydrogen peroxide you add should be one quarter the amount of vinegar, meaning that if you had 4 cups of vinegar, you would add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide. To make your patina longer lasting, coat your metal in a clear acrylic or some wax when it’s dry. For tips on how to create a patina with chemicals, read on!
