Denver Group Wants You to Get High Before You Fly

Got pre-flight jitters? Just light up a joint in the airport and you’ll be ready to go. That’s what a Colorado-based group called SAFER (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation) is proposing, according to The Economist’s Gulliver blog. The folks at SAFER are advocating the creation of a toking lounge at Denver International Airport, pointing to recent cases of alleged alcohol-induced passenger belligerence as part of their argument. In the unlikely event that SAFER gets its way, there will be a lot more people misplacing their boarding passes during layovers in Denver.

Hey, they don’t call it the mile-high city for nothing.

If SAFER gets its way, there really is a God…and he/she is a kind one.

I would love for people to stop pretending like they never lit up and enjoyed it. Time to decriminalize!
