I doubt if people will fly there just to smoke. It’s not like the stuff is not available anywhere else.

I don’t know. People used to travel to Amsterdam for the legal pot. I’m sure some marketing geniuses will come up with travel and vacation plans for the doper crowd.

“Amnesty Box”

A key component in the “Free Dope For Airport Employees” program.

SO back in 86 I was working in Alaska and they had hired some crack head for janitorial work. We were on the graveyard shift and it was pretty slow so he comes over to me and asks if I have any weed. I asked him back how come he didn’t bring any with him as it was obvious he was presently under the influence of some narcotic at that very moment.

He replied that he figured since weed was green it would show up as a dark mass in screening so all he brought was a thermos full of crystal meth because it was white and wouldn’t show up in the x-ray!

I kid you not!

Believe it or not, they had one of those ‘amnesty’ boxes at the Army induction center in Oakland CA back in the late 60’s.

I'm in the Navy and we still have amnesty boxes on the pier when we pull into foreign ports. They're available for when you sober up on the liberty bus back to the ship and realize you bought something out in town that you probably shouldn't have.

In the Army the amnesty box was for all kinds of stuff, drugs, knives, illegal combs, booze, guns, whatever.

Army customs would also use amnesty boxes for troops returning from Europe before they were searched.

This year the feds also recognize same sex marriage on tax returns. If we’re trying to make God mad, we’re doubtless going about it correctly.
