0:29 LSD does not have any addictive properties. It is, in fact, anti-addictive, less so than cannabis. It is not possible to take LSD in a dose sufficient to produce a moderate response, and then take it again the next day, owing to the 5-HT binding properties, and its half life. The effects produced by a 500mcg dosage would not be replicable, if one was to take that dosage a week later. The binding affinity and the lengthy half life, the effects themselves, and thousands of other psychopharmacological properties, the route of ingestion, and too many other things to list here, render it anti-addictive. To compare it to heroin is obscene. It is less harmful even than cannabis. It has medicinal uses, primarily in aiding mental health, it has neuroprotective properties, it has physically protective properties: it stimulates nitric oxide release and so is a vasodilator. Sorkin, an avid user of LSD and psilocybin should know better than that.

Here's a tip: Keep minimum spare clothes at any job. Learned this when as a kid I threw up on my teacher.

She looked much better with the straight hair than later.

It kills me that the other homeless guy who even with nothing of his own is still compassionate and generous enough to give money back to a guy who needs it to get home.

Democrats love power Democrat loosing power

The prelude to one of the very best sequences in the entire series: the actual funeral scene, interspersed with the "Little Drummer Boy" being sung by the boys' choir in the White House. Powerful stuff!

Hawk tuah

What is the movie they are watching?

Josh: You know it's going to seem to some people like you did it because your daughter asked you to. Jed: Yeah? You know Josh I think if you ever have a daughter you're going to discover there are worse reasons in the world to do something. TRUTH

Oh brother, that was an awkward meet-cute. If not for Donna, I definitely would have shipped those two back in the day.

It's funny that I watched this clip directly after one where the MS patient (Bartlet) got caught smoking in a theater's lobby.

I think one thing I forgot about West Wing was its score. The music in the background seems to fit each scene flawlessly.

On a Hawaiian pizza, yes

GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY!

Been dry all day here..

One of these days the stream will be about something I actually watch!

I need a Donna.

LSD is not addictive

Honestly, the chemistry between these characters has been on point since day one. Why the writers didn't pair them up is beyond me. The show had its different fun relationships. Josh and Donna was the chaotic funny one, Will and Kate was the adorable one, and Toby and CJ would have been the serious one.

Much better representation of deaf people than M-She-U's Echo.

Nobody realizes what an incredible actor Schiff is......

I love you Toby

And many others have stated for a show that wasn't comedy The West Wing had many laugh-out-loud moments.

Love seeing older stuff where the freak out about weed 😂 can’t believe that stuff ain’t 100% legal yet

Such an honest conversation.

"King Lear is a good play." Oh boy, is it ever!

what happened with Toby broke my heart but was actually pretty great. its in character.

I love Donna 🤣 She was the best thing to ever happen to Josh.

2:05 that little moment is a work of art

This scene is great on so many levels but the one thing I wanted to point out is the "roles" the characters play. There are 2 people in this scene however they are playing 4 different people without a change of costume. Millie first plays the Surgeon General then Ellie's godmother while Jed initially plays the President of the United States then Ellie's dad. The transition of roles comes when Millie says "Jed!" at 1:40.

Huck is a great name for a boy

Wow, what a contradiction. The pure joy of becoming a Parent vs. the President's child being kidnapped on the same day.

If you're so succesful and independent, what's wrong with taking the initiative and calling him? Instead of just bashing his entire gender

Implying lsd is addictive is despicable

the facial expressions of Schiff from full on business to btw i had the twins, i am dad now ! this guy is a legend

Love the relationship shared by Toby and CJ. Goes all the way back to the day when he went to her house to hire her for the Bartlet for America campaign! I feel that's why CJ kinda was pushing for Jed to give him a presidential pardon in the last episode

I miss them all so, so much.

I would like to make a few points if I could 1. Other than Dr. Bartlett and his priest,. nobody called him Jed in the oval Leo, did it a couple times upstairs. But never in the oval. 2. People in power need someone willing and close to them to call them on things. Maybe nobody else does, but even as a well qualified surgeon general, Millie put it on the table with her friend. That does make a difference in powerful positions. 3. I would dearly love to hear from women who serving the uniform. Can we take the skirt and tie off and put them in the same uniform that everybody else wears. No I am not exhibiting prurient feelings towards the surgeon general, I would just like to see her and every other female officers stand in the same uniform. I happily invite constructive comments on that.

People tend to forget that Marlee Matlin who plays Joey is the first and afaik only disabled woman to win best actress at the Oscars.

It's always wonderful to have an employee who steps up whenever we fall down. if you've ever had one who failed and remained at status quo, you know what i mean. then there's two idiots in the room. that said, i never had siblings growing up, but when Donna insists, "you have a meeting", i recognize that face.

Pathetic acting of woman

This is good/ But ....with all this "You do this , and I will do that.", where's the Vice President? Shouldn't he be involved in this?

Ughhh why doe they all take it so personal & overly emotional seriously. The only time toby acts like a rational human especially in this situation is when he finally admits bartlett needs to step aside... even though toby is as much against it as josh. They are no way affected by the events of what happened yet they all act like their parent died..... Real people can put aside emotions & power through nurses & doctors do it all the time deal with the now & then when you have a chance in private or at home alone you can act like something happened to a family member yet that isnt a family member or that you know what it's like when it is a family member. That's another thing they all act like it's happening to their child or parent which it's not & acting like they know what the family is going through. Its like someone going though their kid being killed in combat yet people who have never been to combat or experienced that let alone experienced losing someone to combat trying to relate to the people who did.

"THESE are the bigger things." The man has incredible perception.

It is quite outrageous that he's angry she wasn't there when he was running for President. SHE WAS AT MED SCHOOL AT THE TIME. Is she supposed to give up her life for his?

The other guy turns down the money. So I guess not all homeless are bums. Finally, a Christmas episode with substance.

the way he gets choked up when he says “andy had the babies” he is fucking incredible

I've always thought CJ was the leak, and Toby took the blame for her.

When I see an episode like this, I wish that I became very drunk once in my life. As it is, I cut off drinking when I cannot do Calculus problems in my head.

I'd love to see a deleted scene where Josh tries to get into the Weet Wing drubk 😂
