Adam Blumenkranz was on a JetBlue flight from Fort Lauderdale to Newark, New Jersey, when he aroused flight crew suspicions by dropping a Ziploc bag with an odd substance inside. He picked up his parcel and retreated to the bathroom, where a "strong odor of marijuana" began seeping through the door.

The crew notified authorities, who arrested Blumenkranz upon arrival. He said he had done nothing wrong, since he had a medical marijuana card in his possession.
