In season 2 episode 7 of The Sarah Silverman Program, titled "High, It's Sarah," the titular character decides to give marijuana a try after her friend Ookie introduces it to her. Sarah becomes enamored with the drug and spends most of the episode in various stages of being stoned, which leads to some hilarious situations.
We see Sarah and her sister, Laura, getting into an argument over a bag of chips that Sarah claims are hers. Laura accuses her of being paranoid, but Sarah just laughs it off and continues to munch on the chips. Later on, Sarah becomes convinced that her bike is missing and enlists the help of her neighbor Brian to look for it. However, it turns out that she had just forgotten where she parked it and it was right where she left it.
Meanwhile, Brian's dog, Doug, has eaten a tray of pot brownies, which leads to some zany antics of his own. He becomes highly active and starts tearing apart furniture and running around the house, which Brian finds both amusing and frustrating. At one point, Doug even gets ahold of Sarah's stash of weed and eats it all, which Sarah finds both distressing and hilarious.
Throughout the episode, Sarah has a series of hallucinations and vivid dreams that are both bizarre and entertaining. In one hallucination, she imagines herself as a giant puppet being controlled by an unseen force. In another, she sees herself as a cartoon character, complete with exaggerated features and movements.
Despite these moments of surrealism, the episode also touches on some serious topics. Sarah admits to having anxiety and depression, and explains that she's using marijuana as a way to cope with those feelings. However, she also recognizes that it's not a permanent solution and that she needs to seek professional help.
Overall, "High, It's Sarah" is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases Sarah Silverman's comedic talent and unique perspective. The use of marijuana as a plot device allows for plenty of absurd humor, but the show still manages to convey a message of self-care and mental health awareness.
