Air Canada offers mid-flight pot brownies to calm nerves

APRIL FOOL'S!!! Since this article was quite well crafted and involved AC I thought it worth sharing.

As with many airline carriers, Air Canada has had a tough couple of years, facing bankruptcy and declining flights in a troubled economy. Here in the heartland, the airline faces even more challenges as new competition stiffens at General Mitchell International Airport.

On of its biggest rivals, it claims, is Midwest Airlines, who rose in the ranks in part thanks to its scrumptious supply of freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies.

It's a tough battle to wage, but Air Canada, it seems, has a plan to rebuild its empire in the high skies. Today, Air Canada announced a new plan to take its customers even higher. Literally.

The airline has raised the bar on in-flight goodies. Starting Thursday, April 1, passengers have the option of receiving two "Midwest-like cookies" or one of the new specialty pot brownies. The brownies, made with organic, fair-trade Omanhene chocolate -- a Milwaukee-based company -- contain enough medicinal-grade marijuana to keep an average adult suitably high for between two and four hours. Extremely heavy-set passengers, as well as dedicated dope heads, are encouraged to pre-smoke before boarding or pay $25.50 for a second brownie.
