San Francisco Man Accused Of Disruption
POSTED: 8:52 am PST February 3, 2010

PITTSBURGH -- The FBI has charged a San Francisco man who said he was high on a double dose of medical marijuana cookies with attacking crew members and forcing a US Airways flight to be diverted to Pittsburgh.

A criminal complaint Wednesday said 30-year-old Kinman Chan was flying from Philadelphia to Los Angeles on Sunday when he allegedly began screaming in the airliner's restroom then fought with flight crew members who tried to get him to sit down.

The flight was diverted to Pittsburgh International Airport where Chan was arrested then jailed until a federal magistrate freed him on bond Tuesday.

Pot cookies...followed by a hit or 2 of PCP, maybe. This is so totally not true.

Sheesh.

5. Doesn't sound right to me

Law enforcement people tell me that they strongly support legalizing pot because that when responding to a call they never experience a hostile person who is high on mj unlike alcohol and virtually every other drug that people take.

6. clearly, they've never smoked. nt

7. Sure. Okay.

It must have been a nightmare then, because after two cookies the man would be doing nothing but sleeping.

The fun never ends.

9. Extremely unlikely.

Those MM cookies are no joke. I make my own cannabutter from time to time, and when I get it right, one brownie is enough to pretty much make my legs feel like they're made with lead. The last thing that would ever be on my mind would be starting shit with someone. Especially when on a freaking plane.

10. It is physically impossible to OD on THC. "Double Dose" of MJ cookies is a horseshit excuse.

You cannot eat or smoke too much. Only by injecting THC right into the bloodstream.......

11. Obviously written (and will be supported) by people with ZERO knowledge of the facts

regarding marijuana - medical or otherwise.

12. Aggressive pot users? Give me a break....

They are the ones pumping out the major ZZZs from takeoff to landing... or trying to get a focus on the flight attendant through the haze of their blood shot eyes.

13. Taurine metabolic byproducts.

14. Obviously, it was Reefer Madness

This story is so funny!

The only way to get aggressive on pot brownies is if you wash it down with Scotch.

[lies and propaganda]

15. Double Dose of Pot Cookies = NAPTIME

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

[montanto]

19. lol.

[Ezlivin]

16. Just wait: Next "terrorist" attack will be from terrorists "strung out on marijuana"

It's "Reefer Madness" meets "Die Hard."

The only proper thing to do at that point is to arrest and imprison indefinitely all those who test positive for marijuana use.

[fascisthunter]

17. bullshit! The Only Way this Could Happen is:

1. he's mentally imbalanced to begin with

or

2. whatever he was eating was laced with something very powerful.

and the story does not exist at that link

[Kadie]

20. Thank you. Fixed the link.

Wonder how I did that! :blush:

[Ganja Ninja]

18. Pot doesn't prevent or cure crazy.

Lets hear what this guy's background is like. Chances are he's got a history of mental problems.

[elocs]

21. This is DU: pot, medical or otherwise, can NEVER be blamed for anything

other than the munchies.

22. total bs. If he had a double dose of cookies, he'd be close to sleeping.
