Recently, I watched," A/K/A Tommy Chong". This is a documentary featuring Tommy Chong, his wife Shelby, and his adult children. Keep in mind Tommy is not just Chong of "Cheech n Chong" fame, he is now 71 years old and he is a kind and gentle soul. This could happen to anyone of us so if you are passionate about the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana watch or better yet BUY this DVD and then go out and register to vote so you can exercise your rights and help make our precious plant legal.
NAMASTE
At the height of popularity of the Bush
administration -- the federal government entrapped and subsequently imprisoned Tommy Chong. Josh Gilbert began documenting the federal case against his long time friend, for the terrible crime of selling bongs.
This film examines the personal effects on Tommy, the motivations and tactics of the politicized Justice Department under George Bush, set against the back drop of the War on Drugs and the legal issues involved. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival to huge press and critical acclaim, and appeared at many other film festivals. It premiered theatrically at Film Forum in New York City and went on to a successful arthouse theatrical release throughout North America. It was recently broadcast on Showtime and the CBC in Canada.

So I leave you with these quotes:
"Look what happened to me for a bong"--- Tommy Chong
"That's why people that have an education, you know, that's why they spend time in art museums, or reading good literature or listening to good music. Because it affects the body's chemistry in such a way that it produces a very mellow high that you can never reproduce with any kind of drugs." --- Tommy Chong
