great idea, except there will be a lot of missed flights. and the occasional giggler you might have to sit next to.

This is the best idea in the history of mankind.

hahha heeh heheh hehe hehehe HA HA HA! duuuude... ha ha heeheh heh ... the flight attendant jus' brought me some nuts... ha ha....

Bonus: I love when Dan rigs online voting by linking them to slog.

I am wholeheartedly in favor of this, esp. in of the many times I flew baked out of DIA. The only thing this might bring up is a stinky stoney sitting on the plane. I despise someone reeking of cig smoke, and I am sure someone would be put off by some viper reeking of the Mary Jane. So I think an outside puffin' area, however feasible, would be even better. Any thoughts on how to spare our neighbors on the plane the inhalation of the odor(of which an additional benefit would be that they would not talk to us to complain)?

I would imagine the airlines would be all over this idea. Think of all the in-flight snacks they could sell at outragously inflated prices. That right there could probably make up for the rising cost of fuel. I'm all for it.

Only stoners believe online polls.

Aside: P to the J said the same thing as my comment timed out.

Aside from the various legal issues surrounding this (which are all stupid), the only real downside to this is the smell.

I mean, if I didn't like the smell of pot and didn't smoke it (ha) and I had to sit next to someone who reeked of it for an entire flight, I'd be pretty annoyed. It'd be analogous with having to sit next to someone who stinks of pecculi.

i've taken pot cookies on the plane before. there's nothing quite like chasing the sunset heading east - to - west in the evening. it's beautiful. and it's true - i'm terrified of flying but when completely zonked, could have stayed up there for days.

decent idea but you gotta keep those pot brownies coming during the flight. Sobering up sucks, sobering up when youre crammed into a tin can with smelly fatso next to you sucks even more....

I hate the smell of pot, but then, I hate the smell of a lot of people on planes, too.

Al of this is, I'm guessing, contingent on a scenario where you could actually bring weed on a plane? (there was never smoking rooms on the visitor's side of where security is now) To me, that translates to a bunch of badly wrapped skunk-weed stinking up the cabin.

Plus, any increase in passenger absentmindedness has the potential to severely bottleneck security lines and boarding/unboarding, which would irritate the shit outta me.

But most importantly, if you think this is going to stave off any air-rage episodes, you have to first prove that those with the potential to be involved in such an episode are pot smokers to begin with. They probably aren't.

And Yes has just taken a 55% to 42% lead! And I think it could be greater if some of the stoners voting didn't click the wrong tab...

whatever. in case you didn't remember, pot is a schedule 1 narcotic. you'd have to smoke your entire stash before security.

obama won't touch legalization till his second term, if ever.

Max, I believe I actually did that on my way to DIA once. I pounded a giant coffee and ate a cookie and made it to the plane and everything. Ah, travel at the end of a seasonal job....

this is a rad idea. you should repost the link to slog until the polling's closed.

Cookies or brownies are the answer.
No smell. Longer high (certainly longer than any domestic flight). Fat nap towards the end. What else do you need?

A lot of people that smoke pot are annoying simply because they think you smoke pot too, and if you don't they want to smoke you out.

Drugs are a terrible conversation piece unless you're under the influence.

Watch out! Bellevue Ave coming in from left field with the non sequitur!

This is a wonderful idea that will never come to pass.

All of you whining about the smell, have you ever heard of breath mints? Problem solved.

Given that a pot smoking lounge has exactly zero chance of ever passing, Mahtli69 has the answer: Pot brownies and cookies.

@20 The smell from pot isn't on your breath, it's all over you. And if you're baking in a room with twenty other people who are doing the same thing you will fucking reek when you walk out.

Only a fucking stoner would think this is a good idea.
