SAFER Executive Director Mason Tvert appeared on Fox News Channel's "Live Desk" program to discuss SAFER's idea that airports nationwide allow for marijuana lounges. The proposal came after federal officials called for a crackdown on airline passengers getting drunk and disorderly, which has led to a huge increase in the number of violent incidents occurring on flights. |

Help us demonstrate that marijuana is safer than alcohol and should be treated as such! SAFER recently generated a ton of news coverage, and many of those outlets included polls and forums that you can visit and lend your voice. In particular, please vote in the Rocky Mountain News on-line poll, which asks readers if they support allowing marijuana use at the Denver airport. You can also make a positive comment in the Rocky's "RockyTalk Live" forum, which asks, "Would more pot and less booze make the skies safer?" The Denver Fox News affiliate posted a similar forum as its Question of the Day yesterday, which received a ton of comments following the Drudge Report posting the story. |

On Tuesday, SAFER called on government officials to allow marijuana lounges in airports nationwide to alleviate the growing problem of drunk and disorderly passengers causing trouble on commercial flights. The move followed a federal hearing in Denver for a woman who got wasted before and during her flight, tried to light a cigarette, was detained, broke through her plastic handcuffs, and punched a flight attendant.  The initial story from Denver's Fox affiliate station was featured on the Drudge Report, and it subsequently blew up. SAFER's press conference in front of the Federal Aviation Administration building in Denver was well-attended and resulted in a number of telvision news stories. Check out the great ABC 7 story with video (on the right side of the page w/ the little camera).
 The proposal also sparked a great Rocky Mountain News story, this great Denver Post story, a story from the local NBC affiliate, coverage on the Huffington Post, a Wired.com blog entry, and tons of coverage on television news affiliates and radio programs around the country. You can hear an interview with SAFER Executive Director Mason Tvert with Jay Marvin on AM 760, and tonight Mason will be a guest on the Alan Colmes Show (of Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes"). The story even managed to reach the aviation niche with blog posts such as this one on Aero-News.Net.
Mason also appeared on the Fox affiliate station in San Francisco and Oakland this morning, as well as on the Live Desk program on the Fox News Channel this afternoon. |

Marijuana is harmless, eh? Det. Suzanne Pinto of the Toronto Police Dept. And to think, what if the dog had gotten into a bottle of Canadian whiskey...
