Super High Me Page #9

If not?

[Laughter]

I don't remember.

You can take the fifth -or

take an eighth.

How many Presidents...

boom.

You know, in terms of

physical harm, at this stage of

the game -zippo.

Do you feel, though, living like

this is sustainable?

In other words, for your

career --

I think I could get away with

it, but I don't intend to.

Why?

Because, you know, I thought

I'd be sick of smoking pot at

the end of this 30 days.

It turns out I'm not.

It's been great.

But I've been having people

drive me around everywhere.

You're all free to go.

However, remember, if you left a

green-tag item at the base of

the stairs, please wait for it

here or in the jet bridge on the

right-hand side without causing

a traffic jam.

Have a great afternoon.

Cock.

My name is Doug Benson, and I am

super high.

[Low note plays]

[Laughter]

California's the Medical

Marijuana State, so I got my

license.

I got a f***ing license to smoke

pot.

I didn't have to do a test or anything.

I just had to go, "it hurts me

in my back."

"Here you go.

I'm a doctor. Here you go."

And I'm like, "$200."

And now I have a license that

says I can smoke pot.

No one here has that.

Not in Idaho.

But you should.

[Laughter]

'Cause this place is awesome.

Most -bless you.

You guys are allergic to the

truth.

[Laughter]

And I'm standing on my own jacket.

I'm scared.

It's scary to be in a state that

isn't cool with it.

I mean, not that -California,

it's legal on the state level,

but on the federal level, it's

still illegal.

So a fed could sweep in and

f***ing be like, "nuh-unh."

Pharmacy is being raided

right now as of about three

minutes ago.

Call me back.

Ultimately it comes down to

the federal government to decide

what is and is not legal.

Marijuana is illegal in any

form under federal law.

Federal drug agents raided 11

medical marijuana outlets today

in L.A. County.

D.E.A. Agents swooped down on

L.A. clinics because federal

authorities don't recognize

California's law that allows

medical use of marijuana.

Yesterday D.E.A. Agents

provided search warrants and

went into 11 facilities here in

Los Angeles.

Yeah, they blocked off the

road, and people are getting off.

I'm gonna get out.

Let's go.

They took all of the

medication and patient records

in all of these facilities.

The climate of fear is very real.

# Oh, I said please don't

tear me down #

# I'm just now standing up #

# made some big mistakes #

# I want to get f***ed up just

like I used to do with my daddy

president #

# I will break all the rules #

# oh, I will have no regrets #

# 'cause I am president now #

# who would believe that a dumb

good old boy could ever achieve it? #

# politics and fame #

# fame and disaster #

# let's go to work #

# I'll show you the master #

# I know these puppet strings

are hard to break #

I'm waiting for a sheriff who

needs medical marijuana.

I'm not gonna say it won't

happen 'cause...if it's needed,

it's needed.

Yeah, if it's needed, it's needed.

That's why I keep fighting.

Hey.

Do you believe in what you're doing?

Okay.

[Crowd chants "take action now"]

So, we are not supportive of

this action today.

The city of west Hollywood

believes that we have a handle

on these facilities.

We have regulations in place.

We work closely with the

Sheriff's Department to ensure

that they operate with the

intent and the spirit of

Proposition 215.

The federal government has the right.

We can't stop them.

We don't have the legal authority.

[Crowd boos]

D.E.A., go away!

# I didn't know god made such

big a**holes,

a**holes as you #

# when we get through, I

realized the a**hole inside of

me, too #

# inside of me, too #

# if you truly soon became one #

# but one inside one is still two #

# yes, one inside one is still two #

[siren wailing]

[Crowd chants "D.E.A., go away!"]

These people are powered by

the state.

The state law is being broken

here by the federal agents right now.

These guys should be enforcing California

[siren wailing]

They're not shutting us all

down, and we will reopen because

in California, the biggest trees

in the world grow from little seeds.

I'm just a little seed.

All these people that were

behind us earlier are little seeds.

This movement will not be shot down.

You know, I've been a patient

for almost 11 or 12 years when I

crawled up those stairs in

San Francisco and ran into

Dennis Peron, who opened that

first club.

And he said, "Richard, I'm

sending a guy to Los Angeles who

can help you."

I didn't know what I was getting

myself into, but I'm a proud

American patriot, and I will

continue fighting for medical marijuana.

[Bell dings]

So, it's 4:
20 on day 30 on.

Doug Benson, it's over.

Oh, it's just starting.

[Laughter]

Well, you know how going into

this thing I thought that by day

30 I would be so sick of pot and

being high and just be dying to

be done with it, at least take a

break for a little while, you know?

But I'm sitting here. It's 4:20.

And, uh...I'm about to light

joint number two.

Medicate.

Yeah, you don't have to now.

You're off the clock.

So...

I totally don't have to.

It's a personal choice now.

Um...

roll some more joints.

You guys are here on day 30.

This is day 30 of getting high

all day, every day from the

second I wake up in the morning

until I go to sleep at night.

And I got to wake and bake.

That's how I start.

And then I don't have a rhyme

for the end of the day, but...

[laughter]

[Speaking indistinctly]

What's that?

Is the program intervention?

Is the program intervention?

[Laughter]

Now, are we playing Jeopardy or

something...

[laughter]

...where the question is the answer?

[Laughter]

'Cause that was worded really strangely.

I haven't -it would have been

cool if I had an intervention, ma'am.

I guess you could try to do one

now, but this is the last day.

[Laughter]

Kind of f***ed-up timing.

"Stop what you're doing."

That's like if the guy in

"Super Size Me" was like, on day

30, "I can't do it."

[Laughter]

Well, you already did a lot of damage.

So, this is day 30, and I got to

say, honestly, it's a fantastic

way to live.

I recommend you all become

stand-up comics who don't have

anything really that you have to

do during the day, and at night,

you can get away with acting

like a buffoon in front of nice

people who just want an

old-fashioned intervention.

And finally, do you think sick

people who feel better when they

smoke pot should be able to do

so in the privacy of their own

homes while not operating heavy

machinery and possibly watching

a "project runway" marathon on Bravo?

Yes.

Yes! Joe is right.

Thank you, Joe.

You're awesome, man.

Everybody, you've been great.

Thank you very much for coming out.

I hope to see you again.

Bye-bye.

[Cheers and applause]

Keep it going for

Doug Benson, everyone!

[Cheers and applause continue]
