Whoa. I’ve never seen a marijuana supporter this excited about anything, and I remember when Halo 3 was released. This campaign video from Vermont Senatorial candidate Cris Erickson, running for the Marijuana Party, is all sorts of incredible as Erickson gives an energetic performance depicting what a random phone call from the “California Ultra High Marijuana Company” might sound like. Jeez, if this is the Marijuana Party’s video, I’m truly afraid what the Cocaine Party is going to do to my laptop speakers.

After her skit, Erickson gets serious and explains how multi-national mega corporations are waiting for California to enact Proposition 19 so they can patent different strains of marijuana. Erickson asks why Vermonters “should allow Californians to take absolute control of the marijuana market by patenting the seeds first?” Why indeed.

Really though, the heart of this ad is her wonderfully wacky pot sales pitch which guarantees “you’ll get up to 50% higher!” If this whole Senate thing doesn’t work out (she’s also on the ballot as Vermont governor), she’ll certainly have a strong future ahead doing celebrity endorsements. I’m just not sure which product it would be for.
