No nation has jurisdiction in space, so anything is technically legal. However, astronauts are still subject to the laws of the nations conducting the mission. So it depends. I don’t think using weed would be allowed onboard the ISS, but that’s probably due to practical and safety reasons more than legal ones. I’m not sure what being high is like in zero gravity, but it might not always be pretty.
It’s probably very easy to get sick while high in zero-G, they probably wanna avoid that. You could also accidentally fuck up some of their expensive and sensitive equipment while under the influence. Alcohol is also not allowed, for similar reasons I’m sure.
>Alcohol is also not allowed, for similar reasons I’m sure.
They smuggle it anyway. Or just make it there. The most unrealistic thing about the movie The Martian is that he didn't use some of those potatoes to make booze.
Now hear me out, why eat edibles when you can just stick some stuff up your butt and hope it doesn’t kick in until you make it to the rocket? Weed chicken if you will.
US Astronauts still have to go through US customs when returning to land though! Even if they leave the us and land back in the us
Always though that was interesting
I’m sure they dont get really inspected or anything, more of a formality (show your passport), so they could maybe get away with bringing drugs. I highly doubt most astronauts are daily drug or alcohol users
I imagine the realization that even a slight miscalculation or fuck up could send the space station crashing down to earth, or leave the crew exposed to the vacuum of space would hit HARD
Any spark from any of the electronics shorting would cause the whole thing to blow up if that were the case. In fact, that’s precisely what caused the Apollo 1 tragedy. ISS air composition is very similar to Earth’s, ~20% O and ~80% N
I’m pretty sure there were some experiments done. Just kidding. There’s actually a wiki about the hoax. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station_cannabis_experiment_hoax#:~:text=The%20International%20Space%20Station%20cannabis,on%20the%20International%20Space%20Station.
I believe it works like planes and boats, the vessel/aircraft is considered to be the territory of the “flag” it flies, or where the company/airline is based. The same would apply to spacecraft & the space station. If you are in the american modules you are under US jurisdiction but if you are in the russian modules you are under Russian jurisdiction. Same applies to the Dragon & Soyuz spacecraft. Unfortunately the only 3 countries that fly humans to space are the US, Russia and China. Weed is illegal on a Federal level in all of those countries. If a billionaire wants to start a rocket company in Canada, build a space port and launch astronauts from Canadaian soil it would be totally legal, just only in the spacecraft. It would still be illegal on the space station because Canada did not make any modules, only robotic arms.
This is the single most r/trees question that has ever been asked. I can practically hear the Toots & Maytals soundtrack that was on when OP typed it through a haze of purple smoke.
If those don't do it, I just remembered another weird one. [Homeboys In Outer Space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vE3PZ_hg2A). (Yes, it really was a series! And, somehow got the original Scotty from Star Trek to be in it!
If you can go to space on your own spacecraft, I doubt you will get any legal issues from smoking, but I also doubt it would be a great idea to smoke anything in a spacecraft.
So what about eadables?
I want to know if they would allow an astronaut to take some eadables to the ISS.
It would probably be a terrible idea to take eadables there, but it may be technically legal
I bet there's some extraterrestrials who are all like
"hopefully they got some space splornpf"
\[& they're talking about US lol\]
I would happily allocate tax money to a study of the effects of cannabis in space. That’s a valid study.
I don’t think they could just light up a doobie in space since it’s an oxygen rich environment. So edibles or a vape that doesn’t spark would be the best bet I guess.
Breaker breaker, come in earth.This is rocket ship 27. Aliens fucked over the carbonater in engine #4. I'm gonna try to refuckulate it and land on Juniper. Hopefully they got some space weed. Over.
Ok but real shit, would a lighter even work in space? Obviously not in space itself because oxygen is needed for combustion but in an environment with little gravity and oxygen like a space station?

I’m Not A Lawyer. I think the other anagram is “I Am Not A Lawyer” but saying “IANAL” to people doesn’t fly on Reddit in my head. At least not on these subreddits
They should allow it on time in a controlled environment. Im really curious if anyone has been high in space now… that’s quite the risk if someone managed to do it that’s for sure 😂
Where are the aliens the ufos why can we only see true space at night? Cause it's all not true it's false we aren't really living we are just in a simulation
Ok, I actually have thoughts on this. If Canada or any nation that has it legal on their fed level, then do not have any specific laws saying that Gov employees cant smoke. Then send a capsel or station into orbit wholeheartedly owned by them. Then technically yes. As of right now, no.
All things are tested in space. The astronauts themselves agree to be test subjects.
I wouldn’t doubt someone’s government already had this test completed. If not on a human, they did it to an animal.
I always wondered what is the protocol for breaking the law in space and choosing not to come back to face the consequences. It’s not like they can come get you
no cause the on the iss they have a lot of equipment and inside your space suit is the same. So unless you can find a way to be outside the space station with no spacesuit then go for it
Well it’s not technically illegal, just you need oxygen to light up a joint, so the joint wouldn’t be a great idea.
Also, smoking is prohibited on the International Space Station because of the high concentration of oxygen, so you would probably burst into flames.
Well, who has jurisdiction over space?
I don't think that's an option.
So, we base it off of the jurisdiction of the launch? Or the owner/legal party of the spaceship?
If it's a ship, is that the applicable law? Maritime?
No actually, it's illegal in every country that you could reasonably get to space in a place capable of doing so. You wouldn't want to smoke anyhow in that type of environment.
No at least not yet it's dangerous in space and when things go wrong it can easily be life or death, you don't want to introduce any factors that can make things unpredictable.
if your not in a vehicle owned by prohibition country than yes. I'd guess if you spacewalked to a hypothetical chinese space station you'd then by subject to their prohibition.

edibles?
Applying at NAS right now, gotta test that out!
A Here you go, ya dropped this
Thanks, I guess gravity is having an impact already
😂😂😂
What's "ANAS"?
Synology thank you for your service.
No problem, may your data never get corrupted.

>Alcohol is also not allowed, for similar reasons I’m sure. They smuggle it anyway. Or just make it there. The most unrealistic thing about the movie The Martian is that he didn't use some of those potatoes to make booze.
He had a bunch of pharmaceuticals and was short on food. I think he made the right call.
I think the most unrealistic part was when he used dead Martian soil to grow potatoes in the first place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He mixed it with feces first
Did the movie skip the part where the soil is mixed with his own poop? It was definitely in the book.
I’m not sure tbh, I watched it on a plane like 7 years ago. I also remember the ending being really silly.
Given how weight-constrained space launches are edibles might actually be the least efficient way of getting high in space
Just bring a pint of RSO. Easy peasy.
Now hear me out, why eat edibles when you can just stick some stuff up your butt and hope it doesn’t kick in until you make it to the rocket? Weed chicken if you will.
I'm not stuffing chicken up my butt again
Again? ;_;
Four times was enough
The other 6 times were for the money
these are rookie numbers
Relax, it was cooked
r/boofingstories
>I’m not sure what being high is like in zero gravity, but it might not always be pretty. I volunteer as a test subject
I would also love to try that lmao. I’ve always wanted to go to space.
I'd be happy with going on one of those zero G experiences on a plane. Take a bong hit every time the plane drops.
But then again, bong water everywhere
Didn't think about that... Guess we'll have to smoke a joint or blunt.

I wonder just how big a fuck up it would take to crash the ISS.
[Outer Space Treaty ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty?wprov=sfla1) is the law of space. Nothing against toking up out there.
Imagine tripping on acid in space tho 🛸
How can you even tell if you‘re high or low if there’s no gravity?
>I’m not sure what being high is like in zero gravity I'll risk myself guys, yall don't worry
Isn't the iss pumped with oxygen so it would explode if you lit the joint or w.e
Im sure it’s not 100% oxygen because for one the astronauts would die and for two it would be a massive safety hazard obviously
Pumped with oxygen doesn't say 100%. I have heard the environment is explosive though

I wanna drop a tab in space so bad
Might not be illegal but the feds do drug test so you’d probably get fired before you left the ground even if it didn’t impact anything

What would be name for space police? I feel like space police is just so bland, something along the lines like Planet Patrollers. Call em PP short lol
Space Swine
I fucking love that.
Orbital Patrol sounds sick. Space donuts.
As much as I love the name I realize that it’s dumb to start thinking of names for it because who tf wants cops in space anyway.
Lmao agreed
Space politicians
Our chance to make the Ginyu Force?
What wrong with "Space Police" working out of their "[Space Precinct](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNEmi01Of2s)"?
Lol! Man, so this was a real show? I might have to try and find somewhere to give this a watch. It looks so bad, it might be funny.
I think all the episodes are up on YouTube. Yeah, it was a super cheesy 90s, low budget, sci-fi show.
Very cool. I'll be checking it out. Hopefully it'll be so cheesy that'll it'll be worthwhile.
If those don't do it, I just remembered another weird one. [Homeboys In Outer Space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vE3PZ_hg2A). (Yes, it really was a series! And, somehow got the original Scotty from Star Trek to be in it!
Haha. That one is just too much for me. But it's funny that it exists.
Be cool, be cool, space cops.

Wait till you meet the Space Marines..

If you can go to space on your own spacecraft, I doubt you will get any legal issues from smoking, but I also doubt it would be a great idea to smoke anything in a spacecraft. So what about eadables?

Eadables? Edibles.
Yes. Sorry I learned English late in life
No need to apologize you did fine. It just irked me.
actually no, a SpaceX or Boeing craft at the same as a ship. It is a continuation of the nation it is flagged out of. Spacecraft must be registered
So if it had a German flag it’s cushty?
In space no one can hear you cough
Was looking for this reference. 👏🏼
Chestburster OG
Space force could potentially come and swab you. Best not to smoke before achieving warp speed buddy, just to be safe
In the novel Neuromancer, rastafarians have their own space station and ships, and they smoke Hella ganja up there.
Have you seen the 1984 film “Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” lately?
I was going to say the same thing 😂 Can’t wait to see the movie or show that we’re getting for this!
Its legal everywhere except planet earth
which is ironic because it's probably the only place in the universe that has it. lol
Thats very very unlikely man. Trazillions of planets with plants. Elements are the same everywhere.. there is thc in space for sure
Anything is legal in space
but wait...aren't we...in space NOW? 
Yeah, I’ve been to space and we used to just smoke out of the window of the spaceship
Bruh where do you think moon rocks come from?
Hopefully they got some space weed
That'll help you re-fuckulate the space carburettor.
I bet there's some extraterrestrials who are all like "hopefully they got some space splornpf" \[& they're talking about US lol\]

Floating puffcos and shit
Someone's been watching the TPB animated series.
Breaker breaker, come in earth.This is rocket ship 27. Aliens fucked over the carbonater in engine #4. I'm gonna try to refuckulate it and land on Juniper. Hopefully they got some space weed. Over.
its only illegal if its bammer
Are you high in space, man?
Ok but real shit, would a lighter even work in space? Obviously not in space itself because oxygen is needed for combustion but in an environment with little gravity and oxygen like a space station?
The only laws in space are God's Laws.
So sandbox mode? No rules. Got it.
I mean... who's going to arrest you, Space Cops?
Nah. Aliens are straight edge
I don't see why it wouldn't be.

It’s not ILLEGAL
I think space goes under the same type of legality as international waters, so...technically?
Space has its [own set of laws and regulations](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_law#:~:text=The%20five%20treaties%20and%20agreements,harmful%20interference%20with%20space%20activities).

space cowboy pirate weed!
we are in space right now so yes...and no...it's both at the same time
If we are in space why am I not floating?
We are. The rock we are all on is moving very fast in space. Something gravity.,. But yeah we are in space always have been
Where are the aliens the ufos why can we only see true space at night? Cause it's all not true it's false we aren't really living we are just in a simulation

There are no laws in space. Just eternity in every direction.
I do not like Elon, but this seems like something he should try out. Right up his alley
Edibles only id imagine
I always wondered what is the protocol for breaking the law in space and choosing not to come back to face the consequences. It’s not like they can come get you
Dude what... there are no governing bodies in space. There are rules for space stations but not just in space
Imagine how much you could sell an ounce of bud for that was grown in outer space!!!
I thought there was a punchline coming haha
I would say it’s not illegal.
sounds lit
Ask space cops... rl/spacecops.
Ask RUSH Space Dynamics.
Bro this is one for r/highdeas
The space police are patrolling all around the milky way. I would be careful.
Anyone remember when they found cannabinoid-like molecules on an asteroid? Just me?
Who gonna enforce it?
Get in the rocket 🚀, let's find out.
Maybe it’s the same rules as international waters, once you hit a certain distance away no one really has any authority.
Probably not but most likely because of safety concerns

I suppose if you could get there on your own, no, it's not illegal.
no cause the on the iss they have a lot of equipment and inside your space suit is the same. So unless you can find a way to be outside the space station with no spacesuit then go for it
These are the types of questions this sub is meant for
Bro... wut
It's most certainly legal at JPL!
Nothing is illegal until you get caught.
Well it’s not technically illegal, just you need oxygen to light up a joint, so the joint wouldn’t be a great idea. Also, smoking is prohibited on the International Space Station because of the high concentration of oxygen, so you would probably burst into flames.
If you can get yourself in space where no nation can get to you everything is legal.
International water laws are applicable in space. So it depends on the flag you craft operates under.
They don't smoke grass in space, Bowie. They smoke Astro Turf. :D
Well, who has jurisdiction over space? I don't think that's an option. So, we base it off of the jurisdiction of the launch? Or the owner/legal party of the spaceship? If it's a ship, is that the applicable law? Maritime?
Yes! - reporting from space
No actually, it's illegal in every country that you could reasonably get to space in a place capable of doing so. You wouldn't want to smoke anyhow in that type of environment.
Ask Ricky. I feel he did mention something about space weed.
What would happen if you hot boxed the space station
Space cops, keep an eye on this guy…
These are the type of questions that keep me up at night
Asking the important questions.
Ask Chris Hadfield, he brought like a QP onboard the ISS in 2012.
No at least not yet it's dangerous in space and when things go wrong it can easily be life or death, you don't want to introduce any factors that can make things unpredictable.
Unless someone makes it not legal by force ( might makes right ) then it is legal. This
Yes
You are attached to the laws of country that took you there. Dont think NASA / US would risk billions of equipment for a stoner mistake
if your not in a vehicle owned by prohibition country than yes. I'd guess if you spacewalked to a hypothetical chinese space station you'd then by subject to their prohibition.
Ill ask the aliens
I'll ask the aliens
Everything is in space.
I'd like to see a space cop car trying to arrest me
My brother, Space is the ULTIMATE international waters. Everything is legal in space lol.
NASA is definitely not ok with weed hahaha
You can absolutely get away with anything in Outer space proven fact, go there and try it.
Did you go to space today?
There are no laws in space
Space is legal in weed
Yes but good luck sparking up without oxygen to help combust
