Longtime Saturday Night Live cast member Amy Poehler left the show after 140 episodes on Dec. 13., 2007. "I love you and will miss you all so much," she said.

Poehler left SNL to star as Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation (Thursdays, 8:30 pm EST). In its first two seasons, Parks has featured marijuana in several episodes. She recently received an Emmy nominatation for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy.

The 37-year-old comic was born on Sept. 16, 1971 in Massachusetts and got her start at Second City in Chicago. This led to the formation of Upright Citizens Brigade - Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts and Poehler.

She appeared in the Upright Citizens Brigade TV show on Comedy Central from 1998 to 2000. The second season features a storyline about a new drug called Supercool and the DEA's raid of the UCB offices.

UCB hosted the Stony Awards and Cannabis Cup in 2000.

Poehler joined the SNL cast in 2001. She was best known for her impersonations of Kelly Ripa, Sharon Osbourne and Hillary Clinton, and usually delivered the pot punchlines on "Weekend Update."

Here's one: "Rapper Snoop Dogg was given a desk appearance ticket Wednesday night in New York for possession of marijuana. Snoop called the ticket unfair and hard to roll."

And her last pot joke on SNL: "Whern you're doing something illegal you need to speak in code. When I call up my weed dealer and I ask for $50 worth of circus tickets, you know what he doesn't give me? Circus tickets! Really!"

She's appeared in nunerous movies, including Baby Mama, Mean Girls, Blades of Glory and Wet Hot American Summer.

Poehler can often be seen performing (on Sundays) at the UCB Theatre at 307 W. 26 St. in New York. They have second theater in Hollywood.

She married actor/comic Will Arnett in 2003. They have two sons, Archie and Abel.
