Pilots allegedly report Ron White for Marijuana possession?

[414Flyer]

Ummmm, I would hate to break it to you, but I think you are rather either playing "lets move the goalposts", or substituting something utterly different and hoping no one will notice.

What I asked was?

How would hemp ever kill anyone?

And you go find something about marijuana. You do know what hemp and cannabis are not the same thing....dont you?

This could describe the effects of alcohol as well.

BTW, alcohol casues WAY more deaths than does marijuana use. Go do some more diggin' Holmes.

(Page 20042) List of Harms
“The mental and behavioral effects of marijuana can vary widely among individuals, but common responses, described by Wills (1998) and others (Adams and Martin 1996; Hollister 1986a, 1988a; Institute of Medicine 1982) are listed below:
(1) Dizziness, nausea, tachycardia, facial flushing, dry mouth and tremor can occur initially
(2) Merriment, happiness and even exhilaration at high doses
(3) Disinhibition, relaxation, increased sociability, and talkativeness
(4) Enhanced sensory perception, giving rise to increased appreciation of music, art and touch
(5) Heightened imagination leading to a subjective sense of increased creativity
(6) Time distortions
(7) Illusions, delusions and hallucinations are rare except at high doses
(8) Impaired judgement, reduced co-ordination and ataxia, which can impede driving ability or lead to an increase in risk-taking behavior
(9) Emotional lability, incongruity of affect, dysphoria, disorganized thinking, inability to converse logically, agitation, paranoia, confusion, restlessness, anxiety, drowsiness and panic attacks may occur, especially in inexperienced users or in those who have taken a large dose
(10) Increased appetite and short-term memory impairment are common”

But a person's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ends where it begins to directly affect my own rights and privileges.

Interesting comment. In ones pursuit, does one have a right to "air of their choosing?"

Particularly, what about secondhand tobacco smoke? If you are out in “Publik” (a little RW thrown in for the threads sake) and don’t smoke, are asthmatic or whatever, what do you feel your options are?

Or perhaps, you live next door to a vegan and you are a rib BBQ’ing maniac? Are the vegans allowed to object to the air quality?

[FONT=&quot]In regard to side effects, everything from peanuts to pharmaceuticals that are advertised on TV can have side effects depending on the person or the combination of them. I am told that the combination of peanut butter and bananas or jellybeans is a pretty awesome experience gastronomically although for me it would most likely resemble syrup of ipecac.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In regard to deaths attributed to alcohol; if marijuana were legalized would deaths attributed to its use go up as well? [/FONT]

Again ... innybody hazard a guess what the liability might be with the FAA if a pax is carrying and you're PICing?

Yeah man, if the flight is operated Part 135 the pilots and other crewmembers ARE not responsible for anything a passenger brings on board that is illegal. Part 91, the pilots and other crewmembers CAN be held responsible.

It wasn't pot or another drug but.........
Years ago we were flying people out of the Bahamas due to an approaching Hurricane. One of the passengers got on with just a duffle bag. When we were going through customs at PBI the guy left this duffle bag on the luggage cart as everyone went through to get checked. The customs guy asked everyone, "who's bag is this on the cart". At first nobody said anything, so he asked again and then started to walk over to it. Then this guy said, "oh, thats mine." It had $410,000 in cash inside. They made us (crew) wait just until they counted it all and then said, "you guys can go, have a nice day." All they asked from us was to sign a paper saying we had no idea it was on board. Later on a couple months down the raod I asked the customs guy whatever happened with that guy, he said he turned out to be a known drug trafficker and the money was siezed. Don't know what happened to the guy though. Part 135, nothing can happen to the crew for illegal things being brought on by paying customers.

Pilots who fly with a hang-over are much more dangerous than anyone anywhere that is driving a car or even flying while high on pot or hemp.

And we all know, for a fact, that thousands of pilots each day fly with a hang-over and some fly while under the influence of alcohol.

Many thanks. I was always kind of curious.

It IS a fact and inherent in the airline industry due to the stress encountered and the idle time during overnights. Plus, it's also a personality thing too, one found in many pilots.

I'm sure the airlines are bad, but you should see how many crew members drink in the cargo industry. Its hilarious. Your chin would hit the ground if you saw how these dudes can drink and still function. I never drink the day before I have to fly, especially if its an early morning departure. If its a late afternoon or early evening flight, I may have a few beers, maybe. But I have been out hanging with crew members at bars and with crew members of other airlines until about midnight, then I would leave to go back to the hotel. These freaks would drink hard liquor until 4am and still make it to the lobby by 7am-8am to meet the van to go to the airport. Smelling like a friggin liquor bottle and looking like a stool sample, I couldn't believe it. And they were drinking the entire time I mas there too. Mostly flight engineers is what I've seen do this and a few old timer pilots. I've never gone on a flight with a pilot in that state, but a bunch of times with flight engineers. If a pilot ever showed up like that I'd be telling him to call in sick or I'd have to make "The Call" to the company. We did once make a flight engineer do just that.

I don't know how they do it. I flew one time in my life hung-over, about 10 years ago and thats when I made the rule "no drinking the night before a flight."

This has to do with the price of tea in China...how?

If stupid people are doing stupid things all over the place it does not relieve you of any moral obligations.
