Amnesty boxes are going up at the Colorado Springs Airport on Wednesday for people who didn't realize that it's illegal to possess marijuana on a plane.

It is legal to leave marijuana in a parked car at airports under the Colorado law that legalized recreational marijuana, but you can't bring marijuana inside airport facilities.

Officials are encouraging people to leave their marijuana behind, but they also want to help people who broke the law and don't want to miss their flights. Installation of the boxes begins Wednesday.

Passengers will have the opportunity to give up the pot without penalty, he said. All the marijuana placed in the special amnesty boxes will then be destroyed.

1. It should be a trade. The bag of pot for a bag of Cheetos. nt

3. All the pot will be destroyed!?

More likely someone is going to smoke up piles of free dope and get destroyed.

10. Exactly. That pot is going to good use, whether it be law enforcement, TSA personnel,

whatever. It ain't getting flushed down no toilet...that's for sure!

7. Can't they donate the weed to a 501(c)3 and get a nice tax deduction?

Think, people, think!

9. Cannabis

They are going to destroy the illegal dangerous cannabis.

What a fucking insane country.

The fake and failed war on drugs is destroying this country and many around the globe.

Cannabis is not the danger, our corrupt insane government is the danger.

Just give the cannabis to the DEA, or the CIA.

Maybe that will help lower the amount the two agencies import into the U.S.
