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.

It is about both. But for the record. Subject of the thread. I would not have called the cops over that minor of an amount. If I thought he had a brick of Coke, I would call on the flight phone to make sure they were standing by. Light it in flight, Land nearest suitable airport.
 
Again ... innybody hazard a guess what the liability might be with the FAA if a pax is carrying and you're PICing?
 
Please elaborate on that...


Page 20050) Deaths In 1999, DAWN (Drug Abuse Warning Network) data reported by medical examiners show that out of 664 marijuana-related deaths, there were 187 deaths where marijuana was the only drug reported.

(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
