Cheech and Boxer

A senior aide for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) was arrested Tuesday for attempting to bring marijuana into the Hart Senate Office Building, according to U.S. Capitol Police reports.

Marcus Stanley, who served as a senior economic adviser and at one time worked on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee — chaired by Boxer — was stopped by a police officer Tuesday morning when he allegedly tried to “remove and conceal” a leafy green substance from his pocket during a security screening at the Constitution Avenue door of the Hart building around noon, according to a Capitol Police report.

I continue to be amazed at the number of fully functional professional who insist on smoking the tree. Seriously, is the buzz so awesome that your willing to give up a job for it?

I smoke my fair share of weed as a kid and I guess I just got tired of talking about Pink Floyd while the buzz was good it just seemed more like a been there done that kind of thing. A three beer buzz seems to be a more logical, and legal way to go.

Maybe someone can enlighten me.
