Everyone knew it would be difficult to shake the dumb stoner jokes and the stigma many people still attach to pot use, but doesn’t this send the wrong message? Airport spokesman Heath Montgomery said, “We don’t want marijuana to be the first thing our visitors experience when they arrive.” It’s not our airport’s job to be an advocate for legalization, but it’d be nice if this major entry point to the state -- and as Montgomery said, the first thing our visitors experience -- didn’t send the message that we should be embarrassed by it. After all, there are people flying here specifically to buy legal marijuana.
