Pot-smoking comedian Bill Maher offered some unsolicited advice to Maureen Dowd after the New York Times columnist recently ate a candy bar laced with marijuana and freaked out.

“If you’ve never had pot, don’t eat it the first time,” he said. “Oh God, it’s so much more intense when you eat it. It would be like losing your virginity to Ron Jeremy.”

He added: “I personally don’t eat it because it makes me paranoid. Nothing ruins a party like people who are paranoid and delusional. Just ask the Republicans.”

Watch his full segment Friday night on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher.”

  2. He totally stole a comment I made on Maureen Dowd’s thread when this news came out! LOL. The one brownie, one serving line! I shouldn’t say stole…let’s just say he was visited by the same pot muse.

  3. “I personally don’t eat it because it makes me paranoid. Nothing ruins a party like people who are paranoid and delusional. Just ask the Republicans.”

    Bingo!

  4. He’s too kind to Dowd, who has become quite the lunatic.

  5. I wonder if she did blotter acid if she’d eat the whole sheet instead of one hit ?
