What does this mean?
I'm staying in a hotel in Minnesota (it's a casino, but I don't think that really matters).
In the house rules it says: "Violation of the 'NO DRUG' policy must be adhered to." What does that mean? Violation of the 'NO DRUG' policy must be adhered to. Any ideas? |

Order some cocaine from Room Service and see what happens.
It certainly seems that you must adhere to violating the 'NO DRUG' policy. And what is meant by 'drugs'? Cocaine, heroin, and meth? Or Advil, Tylenol, and Halls Cough Lozenges?

The hotel-casino has a drug policy for legal and/or PC reasons. That policy probably requires that violations be reported to authorities. It wouldn't be PR [not PC] correct to tell people "Violation of the 'NO DRUG' policy must be reported." That would drive off potential customers in an industry that's hurting for occupants. Instead, they awkwardly word it "Violation of the 'NO DRUG' policy must be adhered to." meaning that violations must be reported in adherence to policy. Thus, the house rule becomes more of a curiosity than a threat. The approach works if your introductory post is any indicator.

It means that I hope some of the proceeds from the casino are going into the education system there.

I prefer to interpret it with a loose match of verbs to subjects: you must adhere to (committing) the act of violating the "no-drug policy."
Abstain from abstaining. |

The hotel I work at also has a NO DRUG policy. Means if someone smokes pot in the hotel, they get kicked out, pay a $500 "cleaning fee" and are blacklisted from our hotel. In our case the policy is given to your at check in. If its broad enough, it will catch all violators, I guess.
