Marge 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 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 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 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 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.
This episode contains examples of:
- Brick Joke: Homer sneaks into the party by saying he was Kevin Smith's father. Later, when the manor burns down, Kevin Smith runs up to Homer and calls him "Dad".
- Depth of Field: Marge consuming some cannabis causes her vision to get warped as if it were experimenting depth-of-field issues.
- Disaster Dominoes: Homer trying to light a vaping pen causes a chain reaction that burns Tatum's resort to the ground.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Marijuana is legal, but Homer's perfectly above-board pot den isn't licensed to serve snacks to customers, and Marge is recruited to get it shut down by bringing in a jar of cheese puffs. The irony of this is played up by having Moe attempt to flush the snacks down the toilet when the authorities show up.
- Drugs Are Good: A jar full of cannabis-infused gummies turns cranky Agnes Skinner into a nice person. In fact, the whole purpose of the Well + Good store is to promote wellness through the use of its cannabis products, although its staff use the stuff just to get high.
- Expy: Drederick's longstanding status as one of Mike Tyson is strengthened in this episode when he's given a face tattoo like Tyson.
- Fun with Subtitles: When Marge mentions that Maggie is learning Mandarin, her pacifier sucking gets Chinese subtitles.
- Getting High on Their Own Supply: At the opening of The Dedrick, a drunken Homer announces that Marge, the face of medicinal marijuana in Springfield, never partook of her own product. Marge takes a couple of drops of marijuana oil to prove them wrong, and starts tripping. Her coworkers are also revealed to have been high the whole time.
- Hidden Purpose Test: Marge is among a group of people who come in to fill in forms to get jobs at the marijuana dispensary. She is the only one hired after she's the only one to mention that one of the employees is wearing her name tag upside down; they needed someone with motherly instincts to make their product seem more respectable.
- Hypocritical Humor: Homer encourages Marge to accept Tatum's job of selling drugs... drugs that the kids should never use.
- Jerkass Ball: Marge, after Homer starts a rival marijuana business and eventually gets him shut down. Although, she was still pretty reluctant.
- Justice by Other Legal Means: The FBI can't bust Homer and Moe's pot selling operation now that marijuana is legal; however, since they are not licensed for serving food, they can bust them for offering snacks to their customers. So they have Marge give Homer a large jar of cheese puffs and wait for him to offer some to the clients. (They have to wait a while as Homer just starts gorging himself.)
- Marijuana Is LSD: Averted. When Marge is invited to try some of the product she was selling, she finds herself in a panicked state with weird sensations and vision Depth of Field issues. While not universal, those are more common traits of marijuana use and she doesn't get full hallucinations.

- Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Just before Marge sets him up, Homer praises her as the most loyal wife ever.

- Slobs vs. Snobs: There is a conflict between pot dispensing as a high-end business and pot dispensing as (roleplaying) underground dealing.

- Victory Is Boring: After it was legalized, ordering weed has become far more complex and regulated, which for guys like Otto who just want to score some weed find frustrating. This leads to Homer and Moe starting their own Marijuana business that roleplays with the customers and acts like it's still illegal.
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: We get another clue to where the hell it may be. Only 11 states have weed legalized for general use.note
