Group Wants Pot Smoking OKed at Airport Lounges [DENVER]

A pro-marijuana group is calling on the government to allow marijuana in smoking lounges at airports across the country.
Cigarette smoking at airports across the country is restricted to smoking lounges.
Members of the Denver-based organization Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) will ask the government Tuesday to allow pot in airport smoking lounges.
The group says in a press release that the idea will address the growing number of in-flight problems involving drunk and disorderly passengers. Members claim marijuana is a better alternative to alcohol to help more fliers relax and deal with the anxiety of air travel.
Denver voters approved a measure that made possession of one ounce or less of marijuana in the city legal. That happened almost three years ago. It was the first city in the nation to pass such a law.
Possession of marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Denver city attorneys can still use state and federal law to prosecute marijuana possession cases in the city.
What are users saying about this issue on MyFoxColorado's message board?
Pl3x1ty2 thinks it's a great idea. "The use of marijuana in airport smoking lounges would be sure to relieve many passengers of their anxiety and flying issues such as people who are afraid of heights."
sprsfn2525 disagrees. "It's bad enough to have to sit so close to people that I can smell their stinking breath, or if they are a smoker, the odor left on their person, but now you want me to have to smell the STENCH of their marajuana smoke too???"

I love the stench of marijuana.

Yeah really.
I don't think I've ever cringed at the smell of someone who just got done smoking a joint.
Now, cigarettes, on the other hand....

Hahaha, what a stupid comment about the marijuana stench thing, the smoke of marijuana isnt NEARLY as noticeable on clothing than cigarettes are.

Another good quality of pot is you can smoke it in your home when your parents are gone for the weekend for a weekend straight. Air out the house for a couple hours and it's like it was never there. Cigarettes would linger for weeks smoking one cigarette.

As cool as I think it would be for this to happen... I'd have to personally go against it. I think that this endangers lots of people flying anywhere... what if you ended up in Dubai smelling strongly of pot? Personally, I used to smoke a ton, but the paranoia factor with marijuana might even make flight anxiety WORSE for many people if that is an issue. We all know that one cannot get a buzz from second hand smoke, but I'm sure that it will be a huge issue for a ton of people. There are lots of bad ideas associated with this me thinks.

Those smoke lounges at Denver's airport are nasty. Little glass cubicles packed with people and so much smoke that you can't see out the opposite side. Absolutely disgusting. I can't imagine smoking cannabis in one of those. Ick.

There are no smoke lounges in NYC airports, plus you spend the weekend in jail if busted smoking a joint. NYC suxs. I should move to Denver.

After smoking in the lounge you try to bring your left over weed with you on the plane and get busted there or at the airport you land at. Marijuana would have to be completely legal for this to work.

They're not that bad, when they're crowded they do get a little too smoky, but half the time there aren't too many folks in them and they're very relaxing. Beats Seattle where smokers have to stand outside in little painted boxes in the freezing hellish rain that is Seattle weather
