Pot smoking an antidote to drunken air rage?
Here’s a novel way to curtail air rage: smoke pot.
So suggests a group called Safer Alternatives for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), which held a press conference recently to propose their solution to air rage.
KUSA TV of Denver notes that SAFER’s media ploy came soon after a woman on a JetBlue flight was accused of lighting up a cigarette, then punching a male flight who told her to put it out.
The woman “told investigators she didn’t remember smoking or attacking anyone because the flight attendants gave her too many vodka drinks,” KUSA says.
SAFER’s executive director, Mason Tvert, claims the “outbursts wouldn’t have happened if she’d been inhaling instead of imbibing.”
He has also issued calls “for pot-smoking lounges in the nation’s airports.”
“There’s been this growing trend of alcohol-related air rage,” he said.
Don’t expect any marijuana lounges soon, however.
“I can safely say we have no plans to open any marijuana lounges at (Denver International),” airport spokesman Jeff Green said.
