Really? Hell yeah.
Man, Obama came through and changed all that I didn't know he did that.
Yeah, man, so stop being so damn scared.
I don't know.
I knew a guy once who smoked some weed that was laced with angel dust, and he ended up running down the street in his underwear and woke up in a chicken coop.
Nigga, that was "friday.
" Was it? Besides, man, ain't nobody With this.
I know the nigga that grew it.
I watched him take the bud off.
You need to grow up and get high, my nigga.
As a matter of fact, since I'm the type of nigga that cares about your health and well-being, I'm gonna give you this joint, nigga.
I don't want your joint.
Nigga, this just ain't no joint.
No, it's a well, well, it is a joint, but it's a damn good one.
Nigga, this Will change your life! Hey, what y'all talking about? Uh, nothing.
Nothing at all.
He was just talking about going on tour with the fat boys or something.
Congrats.
Tell prince Markie Dee I said "hi.
" Okay, old nigga.
Later, Riley.
Who are the fat boys? High blood pressure got you down? Ask your doctor if zortafrinex is right for you.
In clinical trials, zortafrinex was proven to lower blood pressure.
Ask your doctor before taking zortafrinex.
Women, pregnant women, and most men should not take zortafrinex.
Known side effects include dry mouth, upset stomach, mild death, blindness, massive heart attack, difficulty breathing, and rectal fungus.
Almost all men who took zortafrinex experienced a severe loss in sexual performance.
This is normal.
Please stop taking zortafrinex immediately if you feel mild discomfort on or in testicles, as this can be a sign of a rare and extremely unpleasant side effect known as total scrotal implosion.
If total scrotal implosion should occur, call your doctor right away.
If you cannot move or talk due to the debilitating pain of total scrotal implosion, please have a loved one call your doctor.
There is no cure for total scrotal implosion.
Zortafrinex always the right choice.
Mm! Aaaah! Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
Yo, you smell that? Yeah, but It can't be what I think it is.
Breakfast! We got pancakes, waffles, pork, sausage, Turkey sausage, veggie sausage, eggs Benedict, smoked-salmon omelets, hashbrowns, and, of course, huevos rancheros.
Or I could make you something else, if you like.
Granddad, why'd you make all this food? Because my boys have to grow up to be big and strong.
I'm eating this bowl of cheerios because, you know what? The cholesterol's not gonna lower itself.
Mmm! Damn, they were the best cheerios I ever had in my life! They weren't no regular cheerios, was it? No, no, no, t-that had to be honey nut! Mmm.
It had to be honey nut.
It tastes like honey nut, tastes like cheerios, but Nuts dipped in honey.
Mmm! Mm-hmm! Oh, you boys broke the tv again! You know what's funny? When you think about it, all this stuff is really yours.
I mean, how much longer am I gonna be around? 'Cause I'm really, really, really, really old.
This is your house, this is your stuff, this is your tv.
You can break it if you want to.
I don't care.
Damn! I liked my tv! What's up, old nigga? You got a pickup? No.
I wanted to tell you, I smoked that, you know That joint? Shh! You liked it, right? That Was off the chain, wasn't it, nigga? Couldn't believe it.
I never felt anything like this in my life before.
Can you get me some more Maybe two, six, or seven? Man, you called my job and scheduled a pickup just so you could hit me up for some more trees?! That's rude, man! First rule of being a smoker is it's bad manners to keep bumming all the damn time! Well, why did you want me to smoke it if I wasn't supposed to ask for more? Let me just buy some off of you or maybe put me in touch with your supplier or whatever.
I don't know, man.
He's kind of picky with this clientele.
I mean, in the streets, they call him the weed kingpin.
You know what I'm saying? But he might With you, you know, 'cause you With me and Now, just stick with me and don't say no dumb Hey, otis! Good to see you.
Who's this your friend Robert? I'm not a narc! Uh, you want to check me for a wire? Because I'm not wearing one.

It's called black pearl.
What's it gonna do? You'll see.
Man, we looked up the side effects to all of granddad's pills, and none of them make you a happier, calmer, more well-adjusted person.
Well, somethin' goin' on.
I don't know who that nigga is downstairs, but he ain't granddad.
Granddad, we need to talk.
Of course.
What is it, grandson? Man, where the real granddad? What'd you do with him? Riley, you so crazy! Look, boys, I went to the doctor and had a wake-up call, and I decided I'm not gonna sweat the small stuff anymore.
I'm the same granddaddy that you know and love.
I'm happy.
I feel good.
And from now on, I'm going to appreciate life.
Yeah, but that person is nothin' like the granddad we know and love.
Yeah, our granddad don't appreciate nothin'! You an impostor! You boys are hilarious! Don't forget tonight's my bongo night.
You guys can stay over Tom's.
Now give your granddaddy a hug.
I'm so glad we had this talk.
Man, I just feel bad for the real granddad.
He probably tied up in some basement somewhere, scared.
We gotta find him, huey, before it's too late.
Rada, dadada, dada! I love me! Yes, I do! What is he doing over there?! Sounds like he's dying.
You know, he's always been a little strange.
Man, I'm 'bout to go look.
Come on, guys.
You know the rules.
Robert said no going back home during bongo time.
I'm sorry.
Look, I don't know who that fake-ass granddad is over there, but we gotta find out what's going on.
Maybe he's on drugs.
You guys are overreacting.
Your granddad just wants a little privacy to release his creative juices, and there's nothing wrong with that.
What's going on? Ah It's the cops! Wait, Riley! Wait! Revolution is all over the world! Yes, it is! Boom, bam, boom, bam Revolution! Oh, my God! Ew! I'm gonna be sick! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ah, somebody get him a Granddad, cover up your old, wrinkly balls! You scarred my baby for life, Robert! I'm so ashamed.
Riley, this isn't funny.
Yes, it is! Granddad was smoking weed! Smokey! Smokey! Boys, can you ever forgive me? I don't think it's a big deal, really.
No, huey, it's a very big deal.
That's why drugs are so dangerous.
Then you get addicted, and it destroys your life and the lives of those around you.
You start playing the bongos really loud, and then you turn all Bobby and Whitney on us.
I've learned my lesson.
I'm never, ever, ever gonna smoke weed again.
Hey! There's big Bobby.
I got something special for you today.
Ooh! Lay it on me, man.
They call itSkywalker.
Ahhhh.
Granddad, I know you're still smoking.
What are you talking about? Huey, I-I told you that was a terrible mistake I made, and I'm never, ever gonna do it again.
I know when you find something you like, you tend to go overboard, so just be very careful.
Like I said, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Toodles! You're a dick, dickwad! Uh-oh.
Sir, can you tell me why you're driving so slow in the fast Lane? Oh, no reason.
I guess I just wasn't in that much of a rush.
I didn't know you could get a speeding ticket for going too slow, uh, officer dou-shay.
That's "officer douche.
" Something funny? No, sir, officer Douche.
Why were you driving so slow in the fast Lane? Oh, just having a pleasant drive on a nice Summer's Eve douche.
Please step out of the car, sir.
Okay, the defendant is charged with suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana, as well as possession of a mostly smoked marijuana cigarette.
So, how does the defendant plead? Robert, I want you to plead "guilty.
" No way.
Mnh-mnh.
Ain't gonna happen.
It's just a first offense.
Obama fixed it up for everybody.
What are you talking about? Well, that's why I voted for Obama.
We can legalize weed.
That's what we need.
But, Tom, what happens if he goes to jail? It's just a first offense.
You're not sure about that.
I ain't going in no foster care.
I'll tell you that right now.
No one's going to f Everybody, can you please just shut up?! Settle down, please! Your honor, I would like to plead "not guilty," on the grounds that Obama legalized weed! Did he? 'Cause I-I think I would have heard about that.
I'm pretty sure he did, your honor.
Who told you that? Thugnificent.
The rapper? Yes, your honor.
Are you sure he's the guy to listen to about legal matters? What does your lawyer say? He looks pretty smart.
I said, uh, no, your honor.
But thugnificent sounded pretty sure.
Huh.
Well, he's pretty sure.
You know, I'm I'm also pretty sure.
But, hey, we can look it up, if you want.
No big deal.
Yes, please.
No, no.
Sorry about that, man.
Look at this Wikipedia says weed is still illegal.
Really? Yeah.
Wait oh, look at that.
That's interesting.
It says here that several States have legalized medicinal cannabis.
See? Sunfortunately, this state ain't one of them, so, you know.
Oh.
So, I guess your choices are to move to California, smoke all you want, or, you know, just stay here and stop smoking.
Or you can keep smoking and go to jail, but That'd be kind of silly, don't you think? Oh, man, Robert, I can't believe how lucky you are.
Lucky? How is this lucky? I finally found the thing in life that makes me happy, and now they're gonna take it away from me! Now, Robert, studies show marijuana can be very psychologically addictive.
Man Them studies! I want my weed! I believed all the terrible things they told me about weed, and it was all a lie! And now you mean to tell me I could have had this the whole time?! Who knows how different my life would be? I might be a nobel peace prize winner or eight-time gold medal swimmer or even president of the United States! It's not fair! Now I have to go back to being the regular me.
There's nothing wrong with the regular you! I'm telling you, the regular me is completely unacceptable.
I don't even like the regular me! No one does! Yeah, he's got a point there.
I don't even like him either.
Look, Robert, I get it.
Everybody wants to escape from their problems.
But there's a legal way to do it.
I never really liked you when I first met you.
Oh, you didn't like me? I didn't like you! Well, that's okay.
I don't care who likes me.
And I hate ruckus, that son of a bitch! Well, we can agree on that.
Let's find ruckus and whup his ass.
I'm gonna whup your ass! Oh, no, I don't think so! I will whup your ass with ruckus' ass! I miss my Mary Jane now! Oh! I think I'm gonna throw up! Oh, if I see or smell throw-up, I'm gonna thr Oh, God.
Oh, hell no! What the Ohhhh.
Oh, man! Can you believe it, old nigga?! Grant got raided! Look, look, look, look! They're taking the champagne! And the citrus buds! And the first mature! And the early misty! And the God bud! And the ice marijuana! And the island lady! And the kush! Well, I'm not gonna let them get away with this! I say we fight back! It's time for civil disobedience! It's time for action! Man, you do what you want! I'm gonna go back to work and cry! What is this really gonna accomplish? What happened to you, huey? I thought you believed in the revolution.
I thought you were a freedom fighter.
Granddad, you're not gonna end prohibition by getting arrested.
Well, what if me and rosa parks had said that on that bus in Montgomery? What if me and Martin Luther king said that in selma? What if me and Nelson mandela said that during apartheid? When were you arrested in South Africa? Never mind that.
Point is, you sold out.
I think we should just move to L.
A.
I'm gonna be the first nigga to be a blood and a crip! Granddad, nobody solves problems by going to jail anymore.
Fine! What do you suggest? Look, if it's really that important to you, maybe we should just move to California.
Then I'm gonna star in my own movie about the first nigga to be both a blood and a crip.
I'm gonna play me.
Well, I'm not leaving my home.
I paid good money for this house, and now it ain't worth So we're staying put.
Then I'm gonna run up on the fresh prince kid and show him who the real karate kid is.
They ain't even paying the nigga.
So, what's more important weed or us? Weed! Man, he didn't even think about it.
We're here to demand the liberation of our brother grant from the deep, dark dungeons of tyranny.
This man was a peaceful man.
He was a grower, he was a healer, and he gave me really good weed at very reasonable prices.
Granddad, stop snitchin'! We won't let you push us around! We have the right to pursue happiness, and this is happiness, and I shall pursue it happily! Wait does anyone have a light? Robert! Robert? Grant? But I thought you were in jail.
Yeah, I posted bail.
What are you doing here? So you're free? Yeah.
Well, I got six months' probation, can't smoke, but weed's not worth my freedom.
What are you doing out here?! Wait, wait! I changed my mind! No, wait! Sir, I'm placing you under arrest for disturbing the peace and for possession of a controlled substance.
Officer! You don't understand! I changed my mind! Forget all that stuff I said! I take it back! Do-over! I'm a republican, democrat, conservative, tea party! Aw, dude, I am so bummed to see you here again.
Your honor, I plead "not guilty," on the grounds that I wouldn't have had to do a smoking protest if y'all had just let me have my weed in the first place.
This is silly.
I'm an old man.
I fought for my country.
I've earned the right to smoke weed.
No, no.
Well, I admit that I probably went too far.
So I guess maybe I am guilty.
Granddad, stop snitchin'! Anyway, I learned my lesson, and I decided if you let me go, I'm gonna move to California so as to be in compliance with the law.
What?! All right! Really, granddad? Yeah, yeah! I wanted it to be a surprise.
Okay, Mr.
Freeman, you got yourself a deal.
I'll agree to no jail time, and you are free to go to California.
Yeah! That's what's up! Immediately after serving three weeks of house arrest, followed by two years' probation with mandatory drug testing, and then we'll throw in some community service just for fun.
Hi.
Recently, I started smoking pot.
Marijuana didn't make me happier.
It didn't make me cool.
It didn't do anything except almost cost me my family and my freedom.
So if you want to be like me, a loser, go ahead and smoke.
That was crazy! Granddad, you make weed look so uncool.
I don't think I'm ever gonna smoke.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go take a stroll around the block 'Cause I can.
Want me to get you anything while I'm out, granddad? Yeah, bring me a brand-new belt with a big spiked buckle so I can whup your little, smart behind.
Well, for what it's worth, it's not too terrible having the old granddad back.
