Synopsis[]
Maude and her friends are determined to get arrested in protest after a 17 year-old kid is arrested for possession of marijuana.
Storyline[]
Maude stands up for her principles when she hears of a teenager arrested for possession of marijuana. Maude convinces her rich liberal girlfriends to picket with her at the police station, and to get arrested themselves as a symbolic move when the police sees that they are also in possession of the drug. It proves to be a challenge for Maude to "score" some, but when she does, she and Walter fight over it.

Scene excerpts[]
- Quotes
- Maude: Listen darling, I'm so sorry I'm so edgy, but i'm exhausted. I was so nervous about this morning that I didn't sleep a wink last night.
- Walter: Well why didn't you take something, like a couple of Seconals?
- Maude: We're out of Seconals, but I did take two Chloral Hydrates and a Librium and they didn't work.
- Walter: Well, I took two Miltown and a Doriden and I slept like a lamb.
- Maude: ...and snored like a moose. No, I should've taken two Meprobromates with a Nembutal instead of the two Chloral Hydrates with the Librium.
- Arthur: [to Maude] What's this great romance you have going on with Marijuana?
- Maude: Look Arthur, I smoke as much grass as you do... none.
- Carol: Arthur, you've got some nerve, condemning Harold Collins when you're standing here dispensing drugs as if they're going out of style, and on top of it, you're hung over from drinking.
