Yesterday, I went on a tour of training facilities at Air Canada and I flew a training flight on one of their 727 simulators. Canada recently legalized marijuana, so here is a picture of me hitting a joint before going through the takeoff checklist.

I can see the legalized of marijauna, but smoking, then smoking before a check ride......a no no. Got to admit, weed gives you a great high, but is not possible with aircraft in the mix, very interessting. So does that mean a Air Canada ramper can smoke weed on the job, or is smoking around aircraft still Illegal in Canada.....? :o ;D :-X ;)

*Note the Captain wants a hit too ....hahahahahah LMFAO

Definitely not a good idea, even more so than drinking:
-"What's that flashing light mean again?"
-"I don't remember, but dude, I could sit and watch that all day..."

:D

But no big; they're in a simulator... ;D

I was only joking!!!

Thats not me in the picture. Marijuana is still illegal in Canada (especially with the new Conservative government) and airline training facilities are probably non-smoking buildings.

It's a poster of a Canadian Pot and Driving Campaign. You can view the entire poster here:

Well, technically since they are in a simulator it's not so bad. However, it is intented as a real aircraft, and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I live in Canada, and marijuana is not legal.  By legalized, they mean that you can be caught with a certain amount and not be charged or arrested.  What legalized means is that it is not a severe punishment.

Bottom line, of course, is that legal or no, intoxication and flying/handling/maintaining aircraft do not mix...master of the obvious, that's me... ;D
And anyone who doesn't get a natural high from flying should just stay on the ground... ::)
