Related: About this forumSouthwest plane makes emergency landing after passenger does a J
Yeah, someone did mind that the guy did a JA Southwest Airlines jet made an emergency landing after reports that a passenger lit up a marijuana cigarette in a bathroom. Southwest says Flight 1250 from San Francisco to Los Angeles was diverted Wednesday afternoon.
The plane landed safely at San Jose Mineta International Airport, about 50 miles south of San Francisco.
Southwest says the passenger accused of smoking was turned over to law enforcement. Smoking on an airplane is illegal and could lead to criminal charges.
The remaining 32 passengers were placed on other aircraft to continue their trips. Passengers reported smelling smoke, and one said he smelled marijuana.

...which is forbidden on all U.S.-carrier flights, no matter how legal the substance. It's a fire hazard and, if there's one thing you do not want, it's a fire on board at 30,000 feet.
