Shroomin’ on a plane? Not even as a passenger!
Well then, let’s make them a legal product so we can tax it.
That way it will lighten the burden on taxpayers.
Bwahahaha!
Loco… The idiot voters in Oregon already made it legal there. So now you can get your weed, shrooms legally to go along with meth, fentanyl and heroin. The pilot must be a resident of that spinning toilet bowl named Oregon.
@Anon, they did land in Portland.
He was literally trying to fly 8 miles high (or close to it) like in the old Byrds song from the 60’s.
He was so high that he landed an hour after the plane.
This is a sad story. Drugs and alcohol are the two most favorite portals for the evil one and his minions. It’s hard enough to resist temptation, and often impossible when you’ve handicapped yourself.
1 Peter 5:8: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” ~NIV
I pray this man repents and seeks Jesus for salvation.
And thank God he was caught on the flight he was on and not sitting in the captain’s seat of his own flight. And who knows? If he was riding dead-head southbound to where he lives outside SF, he just may have piloted an Alaska plane north earlier in the day to Everett. I didn’t read anything about his travels in the article, but Horizon Air’s flights up and down the coast operate like hourly shuttles. It seems the chances would be great he was flying at some point under the influence. Don’t know.
Amen AA, drugs are not to be fooled around with. I had to learn the hard way, but I was delivered from them 48 years ago on Labor Day weekend 1975 and haven’t touched them since or been tempted to use them ever again. I know too many friends who have either committed suicide or have been walking around like a zombie for many years after being garbage heads in their youth back in the 70’s. And I damn near lost my son 16 years ago to a drug overdose, but he recovered because of God’s grace, thank God.
geoff the aardvark — And I’m thankful along with you for your son’s recovery, and yours! I was never addicted to drugs or alcohol, but I often shudder to think what it could have been like. I know too many family members whose lives have been utterly ruined by their addiction to both. It’s a very, very sad enslavement, and the evil one delights in the hopelessness it engenders. I think it would be as bad as Hell itself.
“Loco… The idiot voters in Oregon already made it legal there.”
Might not have been the “voters”. Might just have been the ballots.
Moral of the story: Don’t go zoomin’ while shroomin’
He’s going to get Magic Anus massages for the next 20 years.
Sooooo … it’s not his fault?
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
In today’s world how do you discern the truth?
I suspect there is a cover up here….
