A senior aide for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) was arrested Tuesday for attempting to bring marijuana into the Hart Senate Office Building, according to U.S. Capitol Police reports.
Marcus Stanley, who served as a senior economic adviser and at one time worked on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee — chaired by Boxer — was stopped by a police officer Tuesday morning when he allegedly tried to “remove and conceal” a leafy green substance from his pocket during a security screening at the Constitution Avenue door of the Hart building around noon, according to a Capitol Police report.
Police confiscated the substance, which later tested positive for marijuana, and Stanley quickly resigned.
“Marcus Stanley is no longer with this office,” Boxer spokesman Zachary Coile told POLITICO. “He submitted his resignation, and Sen. Boxer accepted it because his actions yesterday were wrong and unacceptable.”

It would be more of a surprise if any of them were straight.
I’m sure there will be more than a few retired military who will put her in her place once California gets smart and kicks her sorry a$$ out of the Senate. She is an embara$$ment.
Given all the people who are required by Federal Law to take drug screening tests, I think Congress and all it’s paid staff should be subject to the same random drug testing.
They are busy writing and voting on laws that no one reads..so it is highly dangerous to have a druggie doing it.
I’m shocked, shocked, someone in California is smoking pot. If I were on Boxer’s staff, I would be on heroin by now.
I dunno, what’s the staffer doing with “leafy” pot? Inept staffer can’t get dense nugs. Is “leafy” pot what we can expect if Prop 19 passes?
You don’t have to claim pain in CA. “Anxiety in social situations” will work.
This dude was obviously baked every time he gave her “economic advice”.
GO Carley go!
