Colitas = A marajuana bud (word used in hotel california) not made up by the Eagles.
"Warm smell of colitas rising up in the air"
The word "colitas" means literally, "Little Tails", thus use of the slang, "colitas", (as referenced in the song) meaning the burning of little marijuana 'tails/buds'.
Okay, time to pull off the Raggae Rasta music state of mind... put away the Bob Marley... toss the Love beads back into the trunk along with my "Make love, not war" and "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came" buttons.... back to the present (God, I'm getting old state of mind).
