Well, that’s a different thing altogether.

I have no problem bringing a cannabis vape pen in my carry on luggage if flying between two legal States.

Well yes, that was kind of my point. Come north, to The Land of the Actually Free. Good beer, legal weed, and our Feds don’t waste time harassing regular every day citizens.

How about “Are there any Friends Of Cecil here?”. Anyone that starts singing “Ragmop” gets a free beer on me. 😁

On the level, the last in-person DopeFest I had attended (not including [this one](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopefest-11-sw-afghanistan/583416)) set up reservations at a restaurant under the name “Cecil Adams.” all you gad to do was show up, tell the host the name, and they would escort you to the group.

It worked out well!

The bar tab alone was four figures . . . 🤦‍♂️
