Cannabis Celebrity Comedian Sarah Silverman

The star of The Sarah Silverman show, Sarah Silverman , is a major pro marijuana advocate.

On her weekly Comedy Central program her character smokes a bong for the first time with her gay pot smoking neighbors. In the third season debut episode High It's Sarah a 'Stoned Sarah' leaves voice mail messages for 'Straight Sarah' to follow when she is no longer ripped on pot.

Her character concludes the episode with the revelation, "marijuana is really mind expanding."

Marijuana smoking is routinely featured on the program. For the final scene in 2005's Jesus Is Magic, a film involving her stand-up comedy and musical sketches, Silverman does a massive bonghit before making out with her self in a mirror.

Silverman publicly told media she loves to puff pot or eat cannabis laced brownies over drinking booze in social situations.

When pressed by Barbara Walters on The View about her break up with comedian Jimmy Kimmel , Silverman made a weed reference on the morning talk show.

Suffering from clinical depression, Silverman's marijuana inhaling might be considered medicinal.

One anecdotal tale has her toking a phatty before hitting the stage to calm back stage fright that had her so paralyzed with fear that she couldn't possibly perform. Other comedians were amazed at her ability to get high and then hit the stage with a killer well timed set.

Comedian / filmmaker Doug Benson (Super Size Me) films Silverman using a Volcano Vaporizer for his movie Super High Me? .

A flick about sampling medicinal marijuana from compassion clubs operating in California.

Silverman's comedy also involves tackling other society taboos of racism, sexism and religion.

One of her recurring characters is the Jewish Princess. Which is a her family religion.

Her salty humor occasionally inflames ethnic minorities to the point where advocacy groups ask to retract her jokes. She refuses.

Silverman first got noticed working for Saturday Night Live (1993 - 1994 season). However, SNL fired her after the first season as none of her sketches made it to air. She bemoaned the firing by fax and became very depressed.

But went on to work on the final two season of The Larry Sanders show.

In 2007 Silverman hosted The MTV Music Awards.

Silverman is an avid YouTube user.
