Marijuana disposal boxes installed at Colorado airport

[StormX]

Colorado Springs Airport recently installed three green metal containers in the terminal where travelers can deposit marijuana, which is legal to buy in Colorado but banned in the airport.

Sorry, but the airport is not taking job applications for amnesty box attendants.


With recreational marijuana now on sale in Colorado, Denver International and Colorado Springs airports have made it clear that travelers cannot bring pot through their facilities. Even medical marijuana is forbidden.


But the folks at the Colorado Springs airport, about 70 miles south of Denver, don’t want travelers to dump bags of overlooked pot into the terminal trash bins. For that reason, the airport has installed “amnesty boxes.”


A spokesman for the airport said the boxes will be monitored 24 hours a day, with Colorado Springs police responsible for emptying the boxes and destroying the drugs left inside.

How much do you want to bet; that within 1 month we're going to be hearing about the green boxes being stolen.

If I lived in Colorado, I'd be an amnesty box attendant on a strictly volunteer basis.

and I bet that the Colorado Springs police force will have some extremely innovative ways of "destroying the drugs" left inside those boxes. Small batch burning comes to mind.

I'll put some money on that. Seems pretty uneducated to think that. But education isn't your strong suit.

I'll bet 1Million.

Now you can slander me when you get proof there was one stolen. But you will still be the small brain when none get stolen.

Wait you sit on a couch, you don't have the mil to bet.
