Joan Rivers has finally taken the high road. Literally.

The 78-year-old funny lady made out like Cheech & Chong on her new WE reality show Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best Tuesday, smoking marijuana in public, and we've got the clip for you on RadarOnline.com.

In the overly-staged sequence, Rivers was complaining about stress when a friend (in need) named Lynne stepped in, and the pair went to a clinic to acquire the legal pot. They then traveled to a dead end street, where the impromptu Bob Marley tribute broke out.

"I'm starving, I want to eat right now, lets go!" a supposedly imbibed Joan told Lynne, who (was driving and) got so stoned they called up Joan’s daughter Melissa to drive them home.

"My 78-year-old mother has now become 17, and I have become a soccer mom yelling at her teenage kid!" Melissa said.

Joan tweeted about her medicinal misadventures Tuesday, writing: "California is insane! It’s illegal to smoke a cigarette in public but if you get a note from your doctor you can smoke pot! HUH? #JKB."

Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best airs on WE Tuesdays at 9/8c.

The episode did not seem staged to me and I wonder why Joan would stoop to this level. My favorite part of the show is Melissa. She's darling and so level-headed.

It was GREAT! I was hysterical... GOOD FOR JOAN! It's better than drinking and they FIRST went & got a doctor's recommendation/prescription. I actually sort of like the show and I really like Fashion Police.

I watched this last night and there is no way they were smoking dope. This was scripted but it was funny. Brought back some memories but jumping in the pool with clothes on is not one of them. lol Love Joan.
