Good points!
 
I find it ironic that I've personally known or met so few of the so-called useless pot-heads you see on TV (typical media hype).  In fact, many of the brightest guys I know partake (and they drink less alcohol as well).


Some have a chip on their shoulders, but it's understandable.  They're a minority like many others and have a justifiable fear of the tyranny of the majority.  Speaking truth-to-power and raging-against-the machine and burning-the-man are all great as far as it gets one in life.  A lot of people wake up middle-aged and...well haven't accomplished much. That's letting the enemy win IMHO.

"Transporting" it is a federal offence. Obviously if you're taking it from one state to another you're transporting it.

Actually, most businesses that test employees for drugs do not do so to be in compliance with some government guideline, but on their own initiative. They believe that employees that use drugs are of less value than those who do not, even if they are sober at the workplace. Casual drug use can be taken as a surrogate marker for irresponsibility, unreliability or poor productivity, and they do not care to examine, either the scientific basis of this prejudice or the specific behavior of a particular person when they are designing an employment policy. This is the same kind of thinking that leads them to do criminal background checks, credit reports (in states where this is legal) and require letters of recommendation....
 
...As a practical matter it is far easier to fire an employee because of a positive test violating employment policy, than it is to prove he is dangerous, incompetent or not productive. 

 
Certain jobs require it because workers operate dangerous equipment or drive big trucks and need to be fully alert for safety reasons. And more importantly... liability and insurance reasons. They don't want to be sued by an innocent victim.

Honestly , I don't think it is worth the risk ...
 
You live in a State where it's legal . Your going to a State where it's legal .
 
Why not pick up some when you get there ?

Did you get it through airport security or are you simply postulating on the possibilities?
 
Boundary lines and borders officially go from the ground up with no upper limit... not like a fence you can jump over.  That's why nations get so bent out of shape when some other country fires a missile through their airspace.  I think they kind of agree that something in orbit gets a free pass..... but we do have folks who track all those things up there so we know who's got some hardware in our airspace.

The biggest issue I would think would be getting it through the security check points because it's still a federally regulated substance. So, according to the feds, you can't have it anywhere, but the current administration is turning a blind eye to the states which permit it.  However, people have been smuggling it for decades. 
 
The cop on the ground isn't going to know or really care that you're flying over his state with weed..... however, what would happen if the plane had to make an emergency landing in one of those flyover states ( engine issues, smoke in the cabin, some fool gets drunk and acts up, medical emergency, or some other idiot calls in a bomb threat on board the plane) and everyone on board had to be rescreened in one of "those" states? 
 
The way your luck tends to run..... you'd be standing in the line, and there would be a K9 officer walking Jax the drug dog down the line.....and he would come to you.... take one sniff, and sit.  Possession of a prohibited schedule 1 narcotic, intent to sell, manufacture, distribute, etc, etc, etc.......
 
Yeah..... I'd just carry some money or a credit card and buy some at the destination.

Jax at home reading this coffee house thread while doing his online research about people that fly State to State with a small stash of personal weed .

 
Jax on the job at the airport waiting to give you a very special greeting if your dirty when you hit his town.

 
One things for sure .  Jax ain't stupid ..
He knows that some of the best weed too be found in the whole US can be found locally grown in WA State

We have a situation in Colorado where real expensive mountain homes line very productive trout rivers. The people who live in these home own the land under the river so it's trespassing to wade and fly fish there but you can float your boat and fly fish just fine as they don't lay claim to the water.
 
And it other water news, as of last week we can now collect rain water legally for the first time...................
