And of course by “hilarity” I mean criminality that intrudes on the lives of others followed by demands that we all just “mellow out” and allow middle age adolescents to act like children indefinitely:
PITTSBURGH (AP) ― A San Francisco man claims he was high on a double dose of medical marijuana cookies when he screamed, dropped his pants and attacked crew members on a cross-country flight, forcing its diversion to Pittsburgh, the FBI said Wednesday.
Kinman Chan, 30, was charged in a criminal complaint with interfering with the duties of a flight attendant on allegations that he fought with crew members of US Airways Flight 1447 from Philadelphia to Los Angeles on Sunday. His federal public defender, Jay Finkelstein, declined to comment.
Crew members said Chan made odd gestures before he entered the plane’s rear restroom shortly after takeoff and began to scream, according to the complaint.
Chan told the FBI that he “came back to reality” and exited the restroom, at which point the crew noticed his “pants were down, his shirt was untucked and all the compartments in the restroom were opened.”
When crew members tried to get Chan to sit, he fought them and had to be subdued in a choke hold, the complaint said.
That’s odd. What would have preceded this behavior I wonder?
Chan told agents who interviewed him in Pittsburgh that he ate marijuana cookies while waiting for his flight to depart in Philadelphia.
“Chan advised he has a medical marijuana card and he took double his normal dose,” the complaint said.
Margaret Philbin, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Pittsburgh, said Chan has a legally issued medical marijuana card for a “legitimate” health issue, which she declined to identify.
I didn’t know Peter Pan syndrome was a legitimate health issue.
Dammit! Now they’re not going to let people bring their thin-mints past security at the airports anymore.
Thanks a lot, dude.
::crickets:: Gosh… where are they? Aren’t the pro-legalization activists usually swarming your “victimless crime files” posts long before now? Or do they have nothing to say about this one?
pot doesnt make stupid people do stupid things
stupid people do stupid things and then blame the pot
But 30+ years of research actually proves it does:

Obviously marijuana, like most things, is sometimes used by….how should I say this….oh …fat lazy baby killing men unfit to breath fresh air.
Just like it is used by murders, rapists, thugs, cons and lazy teenagers along with responsible everyday people that I have the privilige to live and die with in this world. I find it interesting that the author of this otherwise excellent website writes about marijuana this way. His opinion on, say, attempted gun control in America is, like MOST material on this website, is simialr to my own. The way you write about marijuana in the victomless crime files I could write about most other objects the same way. There is no shortage of stupid people in our world who have used cigaretts, alcohol, automobiles, boats, prescribtion drugs, over-the-counter drugs, exc. in silimar ways. With your intellegence you should know better. You are blaming a plant, a drug, a chemical, a SUBSTANCE for someones behavior.
Blame the person not the plant. To say marijuana caused this is like saying pencils cause misspelled words.
I HIGHLY doubt that was the only substance he was on. And what about all those drunken unruly passengers? Nine times out of ten, when an unruly passenger is on something, it’s booze.
