Pilots allegedly report Ron White for Marijuana possession?

[400A]

Yes, alcohol is a very dangerous drug.

It goes way deeper than that my friend. Read some of the other threads.

If you think some of us are using drugs and flying planes you better step off hard, dude.

DOT has this covered, so no worries, Fruitcake.

See what I mean, it did not take one of them long to show up.

Hey 400A,

You ever dabble in caffeine?

#1 drug abused in the world.

Name 1 place it is illegal.

Cup of coffee in hand to answer your question.

Now again, step away from that bong.

The point I am making, is that the most commonly bragged about kind of drug abuse on here, is boozing it up hard and heavy on overnights, which is actually far worse than someone having a joint.

Am I confortable with the idea of an entertainer, having enough pot to have a couple joints. Yes, I am.

What is and isn't legal is arbitrary. Caffeine is a drug, yet it is legal. Alcohol was once an illegal substance. Some countries have incredibly lax laws governing things like prostitution and marijuana like the Netherlands and Canada for instance.

This actually brings up a question I've asked local corp and 135 guys about, with little success. I'll ask it here ...

If I am PIC on a P210 or B58 carrying a passenger to Pig Poker County Municipal Airport and Bowling Alley, and my passenger has schedule II narcotics on his person or in his bags, and I know absolutely nothing about it, and if he is popped as he walks off the aircraft ... what is my most probable liability, with respect to the FAA? Howzat work?

Legal/Illegal is not what makes something a drug and not a drug.

I get the impression that in your case, it is really less about legal/illegal, and more about moral issues, in that marijauna is for you something very immoral.

However, that is not the same thing as it being relatively unsafe, or that it should be illegal.

Then if that is what you are in favor of, then please move there.

For the record ... I don't smoke dope and only rarely drink alcohol, but I don't judge what other people do. A lot of my friends get high. It's on them. Personal responsibility and all that. 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.

If a passenger lights up on my flight, I am going to ask only once for him to stop and put it away asap. If he refuses ... I am making a radio call and heading to the nearest airport. No one is putting my cert in jeopardy cuz they can't go a couple hours without lighting up.

Interesting point. Pharmaceuticals are widely abused due to their grey area of being legal yet, as a controlled substance.

What 400A doesn't realize is that pharmaceutical companies are like huge drug cartels. People are getting wasted on these things left and right, yet it is legal with a prescription. So do you condone the usage of these mind altering and addictive pharmaceuticals too, just because the gov't gave it approval?

BTW, 400A - do some research on hemp and it's place in U.S. history. You might be enlightened.
