Marge works for a store that sells Marijuana products, after it was legalized in Springfield.

to:

Marge works takes Maggie to her first day of preschool. When she learns she cannot stay with her, she checks her favorite mommy blog, "Yaaass, Mom!", for tips on how to pass the time. She first tries going to the gym to take a store Soul Cycle class, where she is uncomfortable with the aggressive coach who wins the other ladies over with his angry coaching. She then attends a ceramics class at the community center only to find it taught by a similar teacher whom the ladies cheer over. Later, she goes to the Nuclear Plant to sex-prise Homer, but finds they are unable to have any privacy since the surveilance team loudly insists on spying on them having sex.

Running out of activities to do, Marge finds herself at Well + Good, where they are hiring new people. She makes a good impression at the center and is immediately hired. The day of the opening, she is nervous but makes a good sale, before finding out they are a legal cannabis shop, making her a drug dealer. The owner, Drederick Tatum, tries to convince her to stay, but she walks away from the job. Homer, Bart and Lisa, however, convince her to take the job, where she helps various members of the community.

When Otto tries to buy some cannabis, he is confused by the variety of products and goes to Moe's. There he expresses his feelings toward the situation, and wanting to bring back the old way drug deals were made, Homer, Moe and Lenny recreate it in the tavern's back room. Meanwhile, Tatum presents "The Drederick" to the workers, a cannabis resort and spa, and wants Marge to host the opening. Unfortunately, he cannot offer her the job because Homer is selling weed himself. The only way for her to keep her job at the company is to stop Homer. Marge tries to convince Homer to stop, but he refuses and the two end up in a fierce argument all night.

As Marge is preparing to leave her job at Well + Good, Tatum offers her an alternative option: if Marge could provide evidence
that sells Marijuana products, after it Homer is serving food, the county health department will shut him down. Marge goes through with the plan, giving Homer a jar of cheese balls and encouraging him to serve some to Lenny and Krusty the Clown. When they eat some of the cheese balls, the department closes the activity, betraying Homer.

At The Drederick's opening ceremony, Homer sneaks in claiming to be Kevin Smith's father, and, supposedly drunk, upsets the influencers by revealing Marge has never tried pot herself. To save face, she tries some and feels the effects of getting high. She finds out she
was legalized deceived and that the people at Well + Good were only promoting their cannabis products as healthy as a front to get high. She attempts to counter the high by eating food, only to find out they are all laced with pot and that the napkins are potent in Springfield.
pot. Increasingly disoriented, she makes her way into the bathroom and is comforted by Homer, who had faked being drunk to teach her a lesson.

After Marge's bad experience with cannabis, she apologises to Homer for ratting him out; he also apologises for ruining the one place that made her feel special. As Marge is still feeling weird from her high, Homer tries to make it up to her lighting a joint, which turns out to be an electronic cigarette that explodes and causes a chain reaction that destroys the resort completely.

In the end, Well + Good closes down and the city declares cannabis outlawed in an emergency law. However, Lisa points out that with the loss of the tax money, Maggie's preschool will soon be shut down.
