KFI: Smoking recreational marijuana may be legal within the state of California, but the law is only good when you are much closer to the ground and not 30,000 feet in the air on a Southwest flight.
Southwest Airlines said a passenger on-board Flight 1250 from San Francisco to Los Angeles tried to get high in the airplane’s bathroom a mile high in the sky. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after take-off at San Jose Mineta International Airport, located about 50 miles south of San Francisco.
The passenger accused of lighting up in the airplane lavatory was promptly handed over to police, while the other 32 passengers on-board were forced to deplane and take other flights to finish their trip.
“It looked like that someone needed to smoke a joint on a plane, and he went into the bathroom, smoked his blunt, and set off the fire alarm,” passenger Jonathan Burkes told CBS Los Angeles. READ MORE
It was just his emotional support joint for cryin’ out loud, it’s not like he had a MAGA t shirt or something.
That’s why they call it dope.

Mile “High” club.
Too timid to drop acid right before boarding a commercial flight?
Eat about six squares of blotter before your next flight. It really takes the edge off.
If he took that much acid he’d be flying real high all right. Good grief what an idiot.
What a moron.I would have waited
and fired off in the Uber car.Much
less chance of getting busted and jailed.
I see this every day now,people will cause
grief to 30-100 other people just so they can
have their way.We are becoming a nation of
adult “children”…
I can still remember when it was legal to smoke on flights.
now you can’t smoke but you can have your service goat in the seat next to you.
people inconveniencing people.
how about some more useless laws holding some peoples beliefs above others.
its what makes liberals great right ?
Causing a plane to divert it’s flight can rack up penalties in the tens of thousands of dollars. When this idiot comes back to earth he’s going to rue his idiotic decision.
That’s what? An hour flight at most? The idiot couldn’t wait an HOUR? Bet he’s a member of the instant gratification Millennial generation.
Well it’s not like it was tobacco …
izlamo delenda est …
Flyin’ high while flyin’ high.
Got it.
He was obviously one toke over the line.
He should have bought enough for everybody, then it wouldn’t have been a problem
Seriously, he was on a flight that is just shy of an hour. Let me guess, it was for *medical* reasons.
He should have bought or brought an edible for the flight. Or two edibles. After trying them oh so slowly on dry land. Just a thought.
He should have ate a weed gummie before boarding then no one would have been bothered.
He was fool enough not to share his snacks with the other passengers.
I would have beat him to death with a seat belt extender. We have outlawed smoking on planes for how many decades now?
Obviously planes were built much better back in the day.
Now all it takes is a single joint to bring down the entire plane and wreck everyone’s plans.
My father-in-law worked for Boeing and he said once smoking stopped the engineers needed to invent a new way to find stress cracks in the cabin. The nicotine would highlight where the cracks were.
Thought he had Stoner Privilege I reckon.
