Group Urges Holiday Inn Boycott Following Lawsuit To Shut Down Colorado Marijuana Industry

One of the nation’s largest marijuana policy reform groups is calling for a nationwide boycott of Holiday Inn after a hotel management company that owns a Holiday Inn in Colorado filed a federal lawsuit Thursday aiming to shut down the state’s legal and regulated marijuana program.

Marijuana Policy Project urged a boycott of the hotel brand after New Vision Hotels Two, LLC filed a lawsuit claiming that they have already lost business at their Holiday Inn location in Frisco, Colorado, and fear that the brand could be damaged due to a nearby state-legal retail marijuana shop and grow operation that hasn’t opened yet.

New Vision Hotels Two and InterContinental Hotels Group did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
