    Report: Medical Marijuana Now Allowed In Airports
    By Steve Elliott in Medical, News Friday, Aug. 6 2010

    Under new TSA rules, medical marijuana is allowed in airports in states where it is legal.

    Patients have reported "no problems" as they boarded with carry-on luggage and cannabis plants, Meili reports.


    Under the new Transportation Safety Administration regulations, Meili reports that authorized patients are allowed to fly with medical cannabis, and can even change planes in states where it's illegal.


    TSA officials told Meili that state laws supersede what the agency would do in the aviation sector, and it would be up to local law enforcement officials to determine their course of action "based on whatever the person was trying to bring on board an aircraft."

    ​There are certain restrictions under the new policy, Meili reports. The final destination must be a medical marijuana state, and passengers in possession of pot can't leave the airport terminal in states that haven't legalized it.


    Footage posted with Meili's story shows a patient using a Volcano vaporizer in an airport terminal, boarding an airplane with a potted cannabis plant, and seated in the plane with the plant. The footage doesn't have date or location information.

    And in other places people go to jail. Simply being caught with a live plant, no matter how big or small, is grounds for cultivation with intent to distribute in many U.S. states.


    Cheers to Oakland Airport for being the first in 2008 and any others that have followed since.

    Video aside, and MMJ card or not, you try to walk through an airport terminal or get on a commercial plane in any town carrying a full potted MJ plant and see if you don't get some shit coming down on you. Probably not from TSA, but the local pigs will be all over you, legal or not.


    I'm not going to test it just yet. :icon_confused:

    That backscatter shit is wrong is so many ways. I believe they first tested it in Orlando and I had to make sure it wasn't gonna be there when I got off the plane. Drugs aside, that is way too revealing and soooo should be against the law.

    You can opt out of going through one of those, but you will still have to go through a metal detector and get searched, although I didn't get patted down when I opted out this past time, but who knows the next time around.

    i remember when you could smoke on an air plane...i used to LOVE to ride the greyhounds, though, cuz you could get yer swerve on 4 real, back in the deep dark '70's and '80's....just go to the back, and at least two doobs were lit, and a half gallon of jack was afoot...guaranteed....just reminising i guess, i dont have nothin to offer....i dont fly, cuz i have a serious aversion to being searched...i just hope the "war on terror" is over soon as one of these fucking days, i wil HAVE to fly somewhere sometime..i just dont like bein' searched.


    i'm a grown boy, and just think its an insult.you wanna check my bags?...go aheadi dont got no gunz or bombs on me,or in my shit..(i'm fucking traveling, you dumb cock suckers(not GK, the establishment)...yeah, bring on the underwear bomber, and tennis shoe bomber types....kill 'em with a ball point pen before they got from jump.fuck that shit)....e ver think how cool it would be to take a cargo ship, or cruise ship to london instead of flying?....take longer, (alot longer), but it could BE part of the whhole experience of TRAVELING...the journey, right?....


    interesting article about state capture....


    yes, like acclimatizing the civies to get used to being searched every stop/hub/crosswalk/intersection where legal definitions are drawn...i wish we had a residend sociology prof in here, so i could make sence of everything i read...anyhoo, here is the article.

    From the TSA . . .


    I was curious about taking some mmj with me on a trip later this year, so I emailed the TSA.


    This is the reply I received . . .

    So, basically they WILL detain you until local police arrive and determine what to do next.


    I'll be keeping my stash in my crotch.:alienwink:

    ...which is basically the way it's always been. Unless it's explosives, weapons, and things of that nature, that fall under the TSA's federal guidelines, the TSA just hands you over to the local PD for whatever city your in. Every airport has a local police station in it. Usually right next to the checkpoint. You won't wait long.


    You need to talk to the Denver PD and find out what their policy is at the airport. You might even be able to contact the DIA police office directly.


    I fly a lot, and in probably 99.9% of the times, if I'd had the bag right in my front pocket, nothing would've happened. I still crotch it though. Right or wrong, I just don't want the hassle when I'm at the airport.
