Group Wants Pot Allowed in Airport Smoking Lounges Denver-based organization says pot is safer than alcohol Last Edited: Tuesday, 24 Jun 2008, 6:06 AM MDT Created: Tuesday, 24 Jun 2008, 5:58 AM MDT  Denver International Airport

DENVER (MyFOXColorado.com) - One pro-marijuana group is calling on the government to allow marijuana in smoking lounges at airports across the country.
Cigarette smoking at Denver International Airport and other airports across the country is restricted to smoking lounges.
Members of the Denver-based organization Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) will ask the government Tuesday to allow pot in airport smoking lounges.
The group says in a press release that the idea will address the growing number of in-flight problems involving drunk and disorderly passengers. Members claim marijuana is a better alternative to alcohol to help more fliers relax and deal with the anxiety of air travel.
