How To Tolerate Air Travel

Denver-based activist Mason Tvert is floating an interesting idea:

Tvert, a crusader for legalizing marijuana, has called for pot-smoking lounges in the nation's airports. His reason for doing goes beyond his cannabis liberation mission: He wants to help make flying safer.

Obviously, nothing like this will happen until federal marijuana laws are drastically changed, as I'm not aware of any airport on Earth where you could do this (definitely not Amsterdam).

Funny side note, though. The only time I ever flew out of Denver International, I was really stoned. I was visiting my cousin in Boulder and returned to old habits for a weekend. After I made it through security (this was the summer before 9/11), a young woman asked to check my bag (I wasn't dumb enough to fly with anything illegal so I wasn't worried). Then she walked away and didn't come back. I waited for a long ass time and then just walked to my gate. One of these days, I'd love to be able to smoke after having to deal with that...
