Group wants pot in airport lounges

Marijuana proponents want to know why federal officials continue to allow people to use alcohol on airplanes, but won't allow pot smoking in the lounges at Denver International Airport.

"Does it make sense to allow adults to use a drug that causes problems on airplanes and not allow them to use one that does not cause problems on airplanes?" asked Mason Tvert, executive director of Safer Alternatives For Enjoyable Recreation.

SAFER held a press conference on Tuesday outside the offices of the Federal Aviation Administration in Denver to propose a solution to the rash of in-flight disturbances on airplanes over the last year.

And in the last few months, DIA has been a hot spot for arrests of drunken, unruly airplane passengers.

Tvert argues that marijuana alleviates anxiety for people who are afraid to fly and that passengers could use pot in the smoking lounges at the airport as a safer alternative to alcohol.

1. Interesting - and if we forced everyone to get stoned, the planes would be safe.
Even the most brazen suicide-addicted terrorist won't do anything once he gets good and stoned.
