RE: BANNED! - Orlando International Airport Bans Medical Marijuana
Hey, I'm the biggest MJ supporter you'll ever find, heck I'm roasting a bowl right now but honestly why does this matter?
Your not allowed to fly with weed period, nor are you as far as I know allowed to use it in public either. I'm assuming if someone is at the airport they are taking a flight somewhere and would have to throw out their bud anyway so this seems like kind of a non issue?
Maybe I'm missing something if so please clarify
Actually, you are missing sumpin. As long as you are flying to another state that is friendly such as where medical marijuana is legal, you should be okay provided you aren't trafficking 5lbs of it.
It's a big deal when someone is using it for severe pain, seizures etc., & they now fear they will have their medicine confiscated & turned over to local law enforcement, & face possible jail or prison time. It's time for the federal govt to get off their asses & decriminalize it 100% and take it off schedule 1 classification. https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/resources/flying-with-medical-marijuana-in-california/flying/california
That's a good point I didn't think of it that way. Believe me, I'm a big believer in MJ. My girlfriend is currently in remission for breast cancer, was going through chemo and radition and had several surgeries and was on tomoxifin for years. The medications they gave her for nausea caused other side effects, then 5 other meds to stop those side effects. Her stomach was always a wreck so I'm a huge believer in MJ.
Personally I think it should be legal across the country but I guess the reason I wasn't surprised by the airport thing was like you mentioned federal government gets in the way.
The same way you aren't allowed to travel from say colorado to florida on the roadways with it, I guess I would have just assumed planes would be the same, not saying its right just assumed that's how it would be.
I know for guns there's specific rules for interstate transportation ie if I'm in say Illinois and I'm traveling to Texas and those states are legal, on my route it doesn't matter if I cross through states where my guns would be legal as long as they are in the car locked in a case and enclosed in the trunk, and as long as I don't deviate and make stops along the way.
There should definitely be something similar to this for weed, or better yet just legalize it everywhere. Its such a joke people who are gonna smoke are gonna smoke, it's illegal in my state but didn't stop my gf from using it for cancer and the state would have some balls to try to bring a cancer patient up on charges and dictate to them what makes them feel better. Anyhow, weed harms nobody it should be legal, thats what we should be pushing for not bullshit little loopholes. Im with ya man.
